He is the best!
Would have liked to met the Doctor earlier in the process.
I am very happy with the care I’ve received from him & his staff at the surgery center.
Very professional, personable and cares how you feel.
This Doctor has made it his mission to set a program for (his) patients to follow to have the best experience and outcome of a surgery. I worked in medicine for over 40 years interacting with doctors and this man is the best. I worked with Dr's who cared and this one is a prize.
So thorough, knows what works and what doesn’t, has a relaxed and knowledgeable ‘bedside manner’. I am ready for my second knee replacement!
He is FANTASTIC, AWESOME wish all doctors were like him.!!!!!
Cares about the whole person; makes certain patient is physically ready for surgery.
Dr. Van Horne actually listened to me and found the reason for the pain I was experiencing instead of telling me I was just old or imagining it. I'll be forever grateful!
This was a very pleasant procedure for me. My husband and I arrived at 6 am met a wonderful sign in staff member that was pleasant and informative. We waited only about 5 minutes and than taken to the staging room and all of the staff was pleasant as well. Dr Van Horne came in with a smile and a great positive attitude. He explained all and Joe the great juice man came in and that's all she wrote. Went to home slept well got up the next morning no pain, amazing job done by all. Thank you to all!
