Dr. Scott Hormel, MD

Dr. Hormel is always knowledgeable and gives his opinion on different paths of treatment. Very efficient with our time and understands we travel long distances by trying to get any imaging done as soon as possible to save us extra trips. Also understands our athletic goals of returning to play as soon as possible. Will gladly travel 4 hrs for great care!

Dr Hormel is extremely knowledgeable and has been so helpful throughout this entire process. I appreciate how quickly he got me into surgery and how helpful he has been at my post op visits. Thankful my PT recommended OPA!

Very friendly and easy to talk to. Surgery 4 months ago. I’m back playing tennis 3-5 times a week. Knee feels great, 135 degrees range on bending.

Called. Got appointment right away. Staff is great. Quick assessment. To the point. Got a great referral and where not to go. No time wasted.

I had an issue with my knee and within minutes he knew exactly what I had done to it! He showed me what happened using a prop knee which I found very helpful! He was very quick, very friendly, extremely professional and so down to earth. He used the anatomy words but really made sure I understood what happened and how I could fix it. I left his office very satisfied and much more confident than how I felt going in. Would highly recommend him!

The Hippocratic oath: do no harm.Scott was exceptional at explaining the risks and rewards of my procedure. I now feel comfortable not proceeding further with this procedure. Thank you, Dr. Hormel.

Our son injured his knee on a Saturday and we were able to be seen Tuesday. There was no waiting and all treatment was provided that day. We traveled 2.5 hours one way and they have done everything they can to minimize travel. It was refreshing!

Dr Hormel and Julie were both great ! Knowledgeable, professional, personable and didn’t rush the appointment

I have had two knee replacements. Left and right from Dr. Hormel. I am very active, playing softball and golf. People say that I’m a poster boy for Dr Hormel’s ability as a surgeon, as they can’t believe how mobile I am with two knee replacements. Today I had a visit with Dr Hormel because I was experiencing some slight pain I’m my left knee. After X Rays showed no problem with either knee, Dr Hormel took the time to visit and answer some questions. He has a wonderful beside manor.

Staff was really good and provided good directions for x-ray. Information was precise for MRI appointment.

Dr. Hormel, as well as his team, we're on time, gave clear instructions, answered my questions, and were friendly and professional.

Clear, succinct and no nonsense.

Listened, explained.

Dr Hormel was, as usual, professional and sorted oout my shoulder and knee problems. He has operated on prior surgeries and I trust him and his recommendations.

Scott came into the exam room prepared. He had clearly read my health history and notes so the exam was very efficient.

Warm and caring ; takes time to .listen. Encouraging during a complex recovery from three knee surgeries.

I saw Dr. Hormel after injuring my knee. At first, he was incredibly helpful and sent me in for an MRI. When it appeared that we didn't need surgery, he sent me in for physical therapy. However, after about four weeks, the pain in my knee increased, as did the swelling. When I went in to see him about these issues, he was rude and dismissive of my concerns. He told me to keep going to physical therapy and that there was nothing more he could do. After he left the room, no one from his staff came in to follow up with me, to give me any followup information - anything. I was left alone and ignored. The next day, sores appeared on my leg, and when nurses from my primary care office saw my leg, they sent me in for an ultrasound, where they discovered clotting and sent me in for a CT scan and discovered a pulmonary embolism. Just a few days after Dr. Hormel told me there was nothing he could do, I was in the emergency room. If I had followed his advice, I might be dead right now. I would not recommend Dr. Hormel to any patients. It was one of the worst and disempowering experiences I have had in my life.

Dr. Hormel remembered me and my knee and was amazed at the change from disease and old age, yet got me in same day for a look at the repair done so many years ago.

Visit started on time. Dr. Hormel is knowledgeable and personable. He delivers great service.

Dr Hormel is friendly, straightforward and practical. He’s fixed my knees 3 times helping me continue to lead an active life at 65. None better!
