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.

My husband and I take our two boys to see doctor Horton and he is amazing! I feel like he cares about my babies as much as I do. Dr. Horton isn't scared of getting a second opinion and it saved my son from having to be put under a twilight sleep to check his hearing. This made me so happy! My son's last pediatrician was against a second opinion and even made me feel bad for questioning to get one. So thank you Dr. Horton! He takes his time, listens and We never feel rushed. I recommend everyone to take your babies/kids to go see him you won't be disappointed!

He's been seeing our daughters for many years. He doesnt rush & takes the time to speak with them & answers all of our questions & concerns. If we need a referral, it's done pretty quickly (usually within a week or so). His assistants are always so nice & professional too!

He does very well with my 10 year old who has ADHD and SID. He also does great with my 6 month old who was born preterm and spent a month in NICU. Our family loves him.

Dr. Horton (IMO) is not open minded. You can tell he judges and look a down on the parents that aren't parenting their children "correct" in his eyes. I took my daughter to her 1 yr check up and he asked me if she was still on formula. I said no she's exclusively breast fed and he said well she needs to stop and drink REAL milk and eat REAL food. I told him she is thank you. He shut up. Then he didn't like that resfused certain vaccines. Doesnt listen, seems not to like kids,

He's a fine Doctor. Period. My son has add and we needed a prescription refill. We told him we had Vyvance and it was $300 a bottle! I told him we couldn't do that and I needed the generic. Shouldn't the doctor take into consideration your insurance while writing a prescription? Took me a half hour to get to the pharmacy just to get there and they said there is NO generic for the meds. !!! I get that drs are busy but we just had a big ol conversation about needing generic. He should've checked.

I like Dr. Horton at first but once I decided that I was not going to fully vaccinate my son, his whole demeanor changed. I could tell that he was judging me based off of my deciaions. Also after bringing my son to him for 5 months, I saw him outside of his practice and he had no idea who we were. I don't think he enjoys kids, so pediatrics is probably not the best area for him.
