The Allegations Against Dr Simon Gordon
In February 2026, Dr Simon Gordon surrendered his medical registration following an investigation by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and a national exposé. The investigation centres on a pattern of surgical intervention that experts describe as “unjustified” and “harmful.”
Key concerns include:
- Unnecessary Hysterectomies: Young women allegedly underwent the removal of healthy reproductive organs based on a diagnosis of “severe” endometriosis that was not supported by pathology reports.
- Misleading Diagnosis: Allegations that patients were told their condition was far more advanced than it truly was to justify aggressive surgery.
- Lack of Informed Consent: Failure to provide non-surgical alternatives or disclose the lack of clinical evidence for repeated laparoscopic procedures.
- Life-Altering Harm: Many women have been left with chronic pain, early menopause, and the permanent loss of fertility.
Allegations against Dr Gordon are currently under regulatory investigation. No findings have been made, and no allegations have been proven.
