Dr. Rice is a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists and has had several research publications published in his field’s leading journals. 

When asked why he became a urogynecologist, he states the specialty involves very functional surgery with a large quality of life impact. Simply put, it allows him to change the lives of women who are fearful of social embarrassment from their pelvic floor disorders and give them a life back.

Dr. Gordon was one of the first physicians in the nation to become board certified in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, also known as urogynecology, in 2013. She is a proctor to other physicians who wish to learn incontinence and pelvic prolapse procedures. She has also been voted "Top Doc" in Henry County's H Magazine multiple times. 

Dr. Gordon offers a complete array of services to her patients, and her special focus is on the treatment of heavy periods, incontinence, and minimally invasive surgeries. She sees patients in both offices and operates at Piedmont Henry Hospital and Rockdale Medical Center.

When asked why she went into gynecology, Dr. Gordon replies, "It is a wonderful field of medicine to practice. I get to see my patients on a reoccurring basis so I really get to know them and their families. Together, we can quickly identify their concerns and make a plan – together. I always include my patients in the decision-making process. Many of my patients’ problems can be resolved or improved in a short time frame. They are happy to get better and get on with their busy lives!" 

Dr. Gordon lives in McDonough, Georgia, with her husband, David, and her three daughters, who keep her life busy. She loves to travel to warm places, read voraciously, and never improves her tennis game.
