About
Bloom’s team page introduces Catherine Gordon with a welcome, and our research notes that announcement framing as the sign of a newer addition to the practice’s physician group. The biography the clinic posted with it is about where she came from: three years at The Fertility Center of Southern California, where the clinic says she built a strong following of patients before moving to Arizona.
The subspecialty training is the other half of the record. She completed a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, a Harvard-affiliated teaching hospital, after residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California, Irvine. The clinic also lists an academic background at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the University of Southern California; it does not say which of those awarded her medical degree, and neither does any other source in our dossier.
She is one of three reproductive endocrinologists on Bloom’s team page, and the practice’s base for all three is the Scottsdale address, 8415 N. Pima Road, Suite 290. This profile also sits under the brand’s Chandler office at 215 S Dobson Road, Building J, Suite 1, which the clinic describes as a consultations-and-monitoring site with day-to-day cycle management carried by its nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Egg retrieval, embryo culture and transfer run from Scottsdale, where the practice’s CAP-accredited embryology laboratory is located.
Clinical Expertise
- In vitro fertilization: cycle management from evaluation through transfer, inside a two-office practice where the laboratory work happens at Scottsdale.
- Recurrent implantation failure: our dossier carries it from patient reviews collected for this practice rather than from a clinic-published focus list. Patients describing earlier transfers that did not take are the ones who name it.
- Care after a hormone-sensitive cancer diagnosis: patient reviews recorded for this practice mention a natural-cycle frozen transfer planned for a patient with a hormone-sensitive breast cancer history. That is one account, not a program description, and our sources publish no protocol or outcome figures behind it.
- Patient education and individualized plans: the clinic’s own description of how she works - explaining the process, tailoring the plan, staying with patients through it.
- Not in our record: no published procedure list, no surgical subspecialty training, no research or publication record, and no personally attributed success figures.
Why Choose Dr. Gordon
Fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The reproductive endocrinology and infertility subspecialty training took place at a large Boston teaching hospital, after residency at UC Irvine. Training history is a starting point, not a result, and it is the clearest verifiable item on her record in our dossier.
Three years in Southern California practice before Bloom. The clinic states she arrived with an established patient following from The Fertility Center of Southern California. Our sources give no cycle counts, so treat that as the practice’s own characterization.
An education-first style the clinic names explicitly. Its welcome text says she is passionate about giving patients knowledge, offering individualized treatment plans and supporting them through the process. Patient reviews in our dossier name her directly, and the experiences they describe include pregnancies from a first transfer or a first insemination. Reviews are patient experience, not clinical grading, and nothing in them is a published outcome figure.
Three reproductive endocrinologists at one address. Bloom’s team page lists Dr. Behera, Dr. Reschke and Dr. Gordon, so a question about a stalled plan does not have to wait on one person’s calendar. Which physician reviews your case is not published, and that is a question for the office.
Professional Affiliations
FACOG - Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists - appears in the credential line our research carries for her. The clinic’s team page names her as an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. Our sources record no board certification statement for her, which is worth separating from the fellowship training: the training is documented, the certification is not in our dossier. Language record: English.
Suitable For
- Transfers that have not worked: bring every prior cycle record. The patient reviews in our dossier that name her are the ones that describe repeated implantation failure, and the plan after a failed transfer is exactly what that appointment has to cover.
- Anyone who wants the reasoning, not just the instruction: the education emphasis is the clinic’s own framing, and it fits patients who ask why at each step.
- Family building after cancer treatment: for a hormone-sensitive history, ask specifically how she sequences a natural-cycle transfer and what she refers to an oncology team for. Our sources carry one patient account, not a written protocol.
- East Valley patients: consultations and monitoring can be arranged at the Chandler office, but the retrieval and transfer appointments are in Scottsdale, and Chandler’s day-to-day management is nurse-led.
- Second opinions inside Arizona: nothing in our sources restricts her practice to one office or one case type, and Bloom’s team page presents her as a general reproductive endocrinologist.
Ask the practice for what our record does not hold: her procedure scope, any publication list, and how Bloom’s practice-level SART figures break down for a patient with your diagnosis and age.
