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.

Dr Horwitz is part owner of surgery center wher he preforms his surgeries which is a conflict of interest.

Dr. Horwitz I have 2 words Professional and caring
Dr. Horwitz,Your kind personality put me at ease from our very first interaction years ago. My news was devastating at the time and you were such a caring doctor during my time of need. I recently returned to you for another issue and the same caring professional doctor was there. Thank you

Dr. Horwitz is not only the best doctor he has amazing bedside manner. He explains everything in detail, gives the patient options and let's them decide for themselves their treatment. If a situation is urgent, he is great about explaining everything and always give time for you to ask questions. He did my thyroid surgery and my scar is not noticeable at all. Two years out and no one notices.

Dr Horwitz is a very good dr. He talks to a person where they understand. I was nervous when I met him but he made me feel lots better. He explained what was wrong where I felt better when I left his office. I would recommend him to anyone. As a great dr. Thank you for helping me.

I went to the ER in October 2020 with a necrotizing skin infection that I developed from having a mole removed two days before. Dr. Horowitz was on call that evening. Once I was seen in the ER, Dr. Horowitz was called, and 30 minutes later I was sent to the ER. Dr. Horowitz was so kind, and had the best bed side manners, assuring me he would take good care of me.

I am very pleased with Dr. Horowitz. He is very professional, friendly, and thorough. He explains everything so that you understand what is happening, and will answer any and all questions you may have. He never seems to be in a rush to get to another patient...you are the only one he is concerned with during your appointment.

Dr. Horwitz made me feel very at ease by explaining in detail your health situation and how to approach it. He listended to my concerns and fear and was very reassuring. He talked me through the plan of an impending procedure. He performed my recent biopsy and I was very confident that Dr. Horwitz knew exactly what was best for me. He cares about his patients. A true scientist of medicine.
