Biography
As a female plastic surgeon, I have devoted my entire career to empowering patients through cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. From breast augmentation and liposuction, to facelift surgery and comprehensive mommy makeovers, my passion has always been to produce beautiful, natural-looking results that instill a sense of confidence and pride in the way patients view themselves. Furthermore, I have received specialized training in breast reconstruction to help breast cancer survivors restore their breasts and move forward with their lives. Whatever your cosmetic or reconstructive concerns may be, my experienced staff and I will do everything in our power to help you achieve your goals in the safest, most effective manner possible.

The short: Dr Horton and her team of professions have heart, have amazing skill , and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
The longer version: I met Dr Horton and her staff in late summer of 2018 when I decided to go in for an initial consultation. The longer version: I met Dr Horton and her staff in late summer of 2018 when I decided to go in for an initial consultation.
I was a very young mom, and after my daughter was born I had issues right away that resulted in several surgeries in my 20s with a final hysterectomy in my mid 20s. No matter how fit I was, I had a blob of stretched out skin on my lower stomach, and problems with my belly button that would never get resolved with other Dr’s.
I was nervous for my first appointment. However, the office was professional, but warm and inviting. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
What struck me when I first met Dr Horton is how sincere she is about your health and your goals. She does an honest assessment and is straight with you about what will help you achieve them. She doesn’t try to oversell you, or push you in any direction. She is warm, kind and thoughtful. I had met other Dr’s before deciding, and none of the others had that same factor.
Once I decided to move forward with my surgery, the office was sure I had all the information I needed. The pre-op appointment was very helpful to both me and my husband who would take care of me the next few weeks. They were very honest and straight about the recovery time - note: I thought for sure I could heal faster, but if you are really considering major surgery - listen to your Dr.
At this point Dr Horton gives her patients her private cell number to call or text if you have any questions or concerns. We did use it 2 times, and both times she answered addressing our concerns and letting us know what to do next. I have felt cared for, understood and empowered through this entire processes, and I am SO HAPPY with my results!
I had read the reviews that say sometimes the office runs late, so I was prepared for that. And I can say honestly, the office was often a little behind schedule when I had appointments, but no longer than you might wait anywhere else.
Overall I am pleased with my results, all the staff, and Dr Horton. She and her staff are some of the best. I almost never leave reviews, but I highly recommend her and her team.
