If something didn’t feel right about your treatment, you’re not alone.
You don’t need have all the details or know whether anything went wrong – we can help you work this through. Speaking with us can help you make sense of what happened.
By sharing your experience with us, we can better understand what has occurred, and explain what legal options may be available to you.
This investigation follows reporting by the ABC Four Corners Program into these issues.
You may want to speak to us if:
- You felt that something was not right during or after your treatment
- You experienced complications post-treatment that were unexpected
- You are concerned that the treatment you received may have been unnecessary or inappropriate
- There are discrepancies between what you were told by Dr Gordon and what is recorded in your medical notes
- You believe you were not adequately or accurately informed about your condition, the proposed treatment, or the risks and alternatives. This may include situations where you were not given sufficient time, information, or support to properly understand the potential consequences of the treatment and make a fully informed decision.
- You are concerned that you did not give informed consent to the procedure or treatment performed
- You felt confused, dismissed, or unsupported during or after your care
- Your symptoms have worsened since the treatment, or you have developed new symptoms, injuries, or changes to your health that you believe may be related to the treatment
We understand it can be difficult to talk about experiences like this.
You don’t need to have all the answers – just sharing your experience can help us understand what’s happened.

What’s happening
We have been contacted many patients who have raised concerns about aspects of their treatment by Dr Simon Gordon.
Some patients have described experiences that just did not feel right at the time. Some have concerns about differences between what they were told by Dr Gordon and what appears in their medical records. Others have reported ongoing symptoms or complications following surgery that they did not expect or are now questioning whether their treatment was reasonable and appropriate.
We understand that these experiences are confusing and distressing, and we encourage anyone with similar concerns to arrange a free and confidential conversation with us.
Who is eligible?
If you are a former patient of Dr Gordon and have concerns about your treatment – particularly in light of the recent ABC Four Corners investigation – you can contact us for a confidential, no-cost and obligation-free first appointment for advice, support and guidance.
What clinics are being investigated?
- Epworth HealthCare (Richmond or other Epworth facilities), and
- Dr. Gordon’s private clinic in East Melbourne, Endo Health.
