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.

Super Awesome Busy Doctor
I had a knee arthroscopy with meniscus repair. You must realize Dr. Horton is super busy is why he does not spend a ton of time with each patient but he is efficient and a great surgeon. My pain is knee pain is gone and I am recovering fast.? It also takes a bit to get an appointment because he is so busy.

I appreciate Dr Horton so much! I would definately recommend him to friends & family. His assistant Ms. Jasmine is amazing, she is the best! She is very efficient and knows her stuff! The office personnel are top notch, so helpful & friendly! Please consider Dr Horton, you won't regret it! It is best to schedule an appointment as early in the am as you can. They do get & stay pretty busy!
