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 Horn, his office and surgical staff are the best ever!! I had gone to a different hand specialist but it was not a good experience for me. Dr Horn spoke to me in words that I could understand he gave me my options. After injections it was decided that surgery would be needed to fix my thumb. He and his staff took extremely good care of me and I will forever be grateful for Dr Horns advice and his knowledge of what needed to be done to fix thumb.

Dr. Horn - Fantastic Surgeon
I have seen Dr. Horn several times. He is always on time, very kind and knowledgeable. My surgery a few years ago with Dr. Horn eliminated my hand pain. I have not had a problem since. Staff also is great. If you want to relieve your hand issues Dr. Horn is your surgeon!

Dupuytrens contracture surgery
Every member of the staff at NWOS, from intake , into surgery and post-op was friendly, kind and professional. I had a great experience and have no pain at all, just like with my other hand that Dr Horn operated on last August. I highly recommend Dr Paul Horn for his professional and courteous manner, but even more for his ability to do a great job, provide restructure and do so without any resulting pain. I would not hesitate one second to recommend him to family or friend or to have him perform another surgery on my own hands.

Dr Horn took time to talk to me on the phone and explain everything. He said carpal tunnel needed treatment quick and he made it happen. Procedure was quick and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Efficient and Well Prepared Physician
I had very little wait time. A video was shown about my condition before Dr Horn came into the examination room. Options for treatment were outlined. A decision for treatment was made. X-rays were taken. All done within about 40 minutes.Excellent care team. I highly recommend Dr. Horn.

OUTSTANDING
Dr Horn and his team are fantastic. They are not interested in average. My expectations were exceeded in every way. Amanda, Brittany and Tod Ostlie kept me informed at all times. Everyone at the surgery center also are dialed in and provide exceptional service. I am always amazed by the efficiency at the surgical center. I have had several procedures there and the staff always go above and beyond. Thank you to all at NWOS!

Quick, Efficient, and Knowledgeable!
I was waited on immediately by a nurse who took my information. When she left, Dr. Horn immediately came in, explained my previous conduction tests, answered all my questions, and tole me to wait for a EKG for my upcoming surgery. After leaving I waited about a minute and another nurse came in and gave me my EKG. I spent a total of about 15 minutes there and I was on my way having all the info I needed.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Horn yesterday. He was very knowledgeable and professional. His staff was also very kind. He injected my thumb/wrist joint and also had me get a brace. I’m hoping this helps tremendously, as it has been hurting for over a year.
