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.

Very Satisfied
Dr. Horning showed personal care and interest in the evaluation process and in the surgery on my left knee. I had a torn meniscus which caused much discomfort and pain. The surgery went very well. I was very satisfied with his professionalism, his care for me as a person. I didn't get the sense that I was just another number to be pushed through the system.

Dr Horning explains everything and is easily understood. Takes times to explain the next steps in my care. He wants to hear my thoughts on the plan. You can see he cares for his patients.

Just another surgeon.
This visit was nothing to write home about. I felt that it was more about just them getting a visit to collect the money VS really seeing me for my needs. When I requested accomadations they were only met in the smallest way possable. I was given forms to sign, and couldn't see them. I asked for help, and was just told to sign here, here, and here. At no time were the forms read to me. When it came to my care, I don't think I saw the Doctor for more then five minutes. It was look here, look at this, ETC. When he was told that I couldn't see, he was rushed to just get me out of the office. I'm not pleased.

I value the trust I have with Dr. Horrning.
He takes the time to listen to my questions and concerns and answers them. I do not feel like I am being rushed along so he can move on to the next patient. Otherwards, I feel I am treated as a person and not just a number. I have had a rotator cuff surgery and both knees replaced by Dr. Horning. I will continue to return to him for future surgeries, if and when they may become necessary.

Very professional specialist
Always a nice greeting from everyone. Dr asked how I’m doing, we talked and went over the MRI in great detail to my injury. Also talked about the possible options to my shoulder. He listened to my concerns and we both agreed about the future of my shoulder. He is a very educated, detailed surgeon and does an amazing job.

ACL & Meniscus Tears
He went over and explained professionally about what MRI shown about ACL and Meniscus tears, went over options and steps on what we can do about them, and answered questions thoroughly. Even though I was a bit anxious and hesitate about surgery due to concerns, he made me feel more comfortable and ready to go for surgery since he really went over the procedures of the surgery, answers to questions, the steps, outcomes, and post-op rehabilitation. He is really understanding, respectful, informative, caring, and professional.

Best of the best
Dr.Horning has done 2 total hip replacements for me over the past 3 years both were nothing short of spectacular. Dr. Horning is always professional friendly and puts his patients needs first. He explains everything in very simple terms and makes sure you are aware of the pros and cons every step of the way.
