Dr. Charles Gordon, a board-certified pain management and anesthesiology specialist, has been practicing pain management in Upstate New York for more than 25 years. He opened his own practice, New York Pain Management, in 2003 in Latham. A graduate of Columbia Medical School, Dr. Gordon completed his residency at the Harvard University School of Medicine and received training in pain management at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He also served as the Director of Glens Falls Hospital’s Pain Management Center and practiced pain medicine for more than a decade in Glens Falls. “We have our own surgery center and facilities, and we’re not driven by belonging to a certain care group or hospital,” says Dr. Gordon. “We can make our decisions independently. That, tied with our longevity in the field, allows us to do things like acupuncture and attract patients from a wide area. We get people from Amsterdam, Ticonderoga, Plattsburgh and even Vermont. People are willing to travel a long distance when you can offer a full spectrum of services.”
