Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ineffective treatment
'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.' Decided on a cause and treatment and kept sticking to it despite the treatment not working.

Finally
Finally someone believed me and helped me with most of my pain. It's been a battle for years. Doctors just put me on pain medication and that was it. Dr. Horton took time and tests to help pin point my problems. I will always be grateful.

After many many years of several doctors and severe pain and my blood work, etc not showing anything, Dr Horton listened to my physical symptoms and prescribed meds that stopped my pain almost immediately ! I would HIGHLY recommend him to my family and friends !!!

Awesome!
I finally have a wonderful rheumatologist!! Not only does he listen carefully to what I have to say, he is truly one of the smartest, kindest and compassionate doctors I have been to. His office staff is also very nice! His nurse, I can't remember her name unfortunately is amazing! For many years, other rheumatologists would try to tell me it was all in my head or they weren't listening because they were too busy thinking about other things. I GREATLY appreciate Dr. Horton and his staff and I am so blessed to have them as part of my healthcare team.

I found Dr. Joel Horton to be very knowledgeable, caring and helpful. I have several autoimmune problems and he was very much aware of how they interrelated especially with multiple drug interactions.
