Were you a patient of Melbourne gynaecologist Dr Simon Gordon? You deserve the truth, and you deserve justice.
At Carbone Lawyers, we are investigating allegations of medical misconduct concerning Dr Simon Gordon. Reports have surfaced of patients undergoing radical, life-altering surgeries, including the removal of the uterus and ovaries, for “severe endometriosis” that pathology later suggested was non-existent or mild.
If you underwent surgery at Epworth Richmond or Endo Health under Dr Gordon’s care and feel your treatment was unnecessary, harmful, or performed without true informed consent, our relentless medical negligence team is here to fight for your individual rights.
The Allegations Against Dr Simon Gordon
In February 2026, Dr Simon Gordon surrendered his medical registration following a high-profile investigation into his surgical practices. The investigation centres on a pattern of intervention that experts describe as “unjustified” and “harmful.”
Key concerns include:
-
Unnecessary Hysterectomies: Allegations that women underwent the removal of healthy reproductive organs based on a diagnosis of “severe” disease that was not supported by subsequent pathology reports.
-
Misleading Diagnoses: Patients were allegedly told their condition was far more advanced than it truly was to justify aggressive, irreversible surgery.
-
Lack of Informed Consent: Failure to provide non-surgical alternatives or disclose the lack of clinical evidence for repeated laparoscopic procedures.
-
Permanent, Life-Altering Harm: Many women have been left with chronic pain, early menopause, and the permanent loss of fertility.
