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. Horner, You saw Kim March 21-22 at Mercy room 806 with low Blood Pressure which left everyone a mystery as to what caused it. Kim has had this happen to her now 3 times in the last 3 years she is now going from low BP to high BP 90 50 to 156 98 We don't get many answers from Primary doctors everyone is baffled. You showed Kim more care and worrisome in two days than anyone has for her. We need a Dr. like you who will put some time and effort into finding what's causing this. I am begging you to give my beautiful Wife some time and help find what's causing this before it takes her from us.

Dr. Horner is very thorough at your initial visit. She obtains a deep history and baseline. She always explains everything well and answers all questions. She refers to specialists when necessary. The only drawback is that appointments do not run on time. A patient may get to an exam room at your assigned time, but you may wait over an hour until she sees you. I don't like the time delay but feel her expertise outweighs my wait time.
