Hi! I am Dr. Lonna Gordon.

I am a pediatrician who subspecializes in adolescent and young adult medicine. I am board certified in pediatrics, adolescent medicine, culinary medicine, and obesity medicine.
I am a dynamic public speaker well suited for facilitating small groups and small group seminars and giving keynote addresses with over 20 years of experience.
I believe that the most important job of a physician is to teach.
I believe that health is holistic. It is essential to meld the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual.
I believe that education, medication, sleep, nutrition, exercise, and mental balance are critical to treating any adolescent health concern.
I know that young people thrive when the communities they live, study, and socialize in are structured in ways that play to their strengths, and empower them.
