About
Dr. Gordon Pace is a board-certified internist who earned his medical degree from VCU School of Medicine. He then completed his internal medicine residency at Yale University and Yale New Haven Hospital. Before joining PartnerMD, he practiced as a hospitalist at VCU Health, where he helped patients manage complex, chronic, and often severe conditions.
Medicine runs deep in his family. Both his parents and his grandfather were physicians. Before entering medical school, Dr. Pace volunteered for two years with communities in Northern Ireland and Arizona. Those years, he says, gave him a sharper appreciation for the diversity of experiences that shape health. He joined PartnerMD to shift his focus toward prevention and long-term wellness. He believes that guiding patients toward better decisions today produces better health in the decades ahead. Connection is central to his practice, and he pursues it with warmth, honesty, and a touch of humor. Outside the office, he hikes with his wife, explores used bookstores, and stays busy with his three children and their many activities.
