5/15/13 5 5 5 5 When I dragged myself to Dr. Horizon's office with an MRI report in my hand which showed 3 serious fractures in my spine, I was looking at a very gloomy future. One evening while walking in my garden, I fell down in a deep hole left by my careless gardener. I was having horrifying pain. Any movement – walking, sitting, lying down – and terrifying pain was taking control of my body. Tears were running down my face. I tried to hold myself not to keep screaming. Those were the darkest days of my life. My future was dead or confined to a wheelchair the rest of my life. Then Dr. Horizon saved my life! Every day when I walk freely, sit down, lie down, I remember my darkest days and am so thankful to Dr. Horizon who enabled me to get my life back. All I can say is he is a very rare gem – God's gift to his patients - and THE BEST OF THE BEST! Also, his staff were always polite and helpful during my recovery. I will always be in debt to this great doctor. Gungor Demirezer  Respond

2/1/12 1 3 1 1 NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE DOCTOR IS, EVERYTHING STARTS AT A FRONT DESK. THIS ONE IS AN ABSOLUTE WORST. I DO NOT THINK I'VE EVER BEEN TO THE MEDICAL OFFICE WITH PERSONNEL SO NON-FRIENDLY, NON- CARING AND NON- COMPASSIONATE TOWARDS SICK PATIENT'S NEED. I WAS REFUSED SERVICE BY A RECEPTIONIST, EVEN THOUGH I HAD AN APPOINTMENT AND I WAS IN PAIN . AT ANY COST AVOID ANY COMMUNICATION WITH "LUANNA"-RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND A WRONG PERSON TO WORK IN A MEDICAL FIELD.I HAVE A FEELING THAT DR. HORIZON DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN HIS FRONT OFFICE. HE IS A GOOD KNOWLEDGEABLE DOCTOR. JUST NEEDS NEW GOOD STAFF.

8/12/11 1 4 5 5 Dr. Horizon was able to diagnose an issue I've had when other doctors have only looked at part of the problem without thinking holistically. The issue I have with his office is that it took days to get someone on the phone as nobody called me back, and over a week to get an order in for further testing that was to be in within 1-2 days... And I still had to follow-up numerous times to get that resolved. In my book, he'd be a rockstar if he had better, or more, staff. I have no idea how overwhelmed they are, but it's a problem that needs its own diagnosis.

1/19/10 2 4 1 2 I was diagnosed with a rheumatological problem by this doctor but he was unwilling to do anything other than prescribe drugs I did not wish to take (bisphosphonates). Thankfully the office did give me a discount as I had no insurance but the prices there are very, very high. Sadly, I have tried to get them to give me a referral to a public place where I can get further treatment which I can afford, but they first pretended not to know what a referral was, being only willing to send along the same records which I had already gotten from them (with some difficulty and confusion, I might add), then admitted that the doctor refused to give me a referral but they would not tell me why. It was terribly frustrating.  Respond

8/11/08 5 5 5 5 I actually worked for Dr. Horizon for a few weeks before a family emergency terminated my employment with him. During the few weeks I worked with him, I personally experienced his professionalism and his great bedside manner. His knowledge was expansive and he takes the time to ensure all of this patients are excited to come back again. He took the time out of his busy schedule to teach me how to read X-Rays. He is an amazing rheumatologist and would recommend him to a friend.  Respond
