A task master on a mission to make sure your surgery is successful. Very hands on warm personality. Surprised me after reading over a hundred black & white things to do before & after the procedure. He makes it clear the role each patient and coach must perform
I appreciated his concerns and advise!
Highly skilled and compassionate doctor. Thank you!!
The severity of having both knee's being fully replaced, was mind blowing. I had heard, if you follow the Dr's protocol for recovery, you will have success. It became true. Dr Van Horne is truly a specialist, and should be considered one of the best. I want to reiterate, if you follow the recovery protocol, you can have a great success with your joint replacement(s). For me, failure would have been my fault, my case is not a failure.
Wonderful Doctor! Explained everything well and extremely happy my mother had knee replacement surgery with Dr. Van Horn!
Incredible surgeon who ensures that his patients assume responsibility for their success, which leads to the best possible outcome
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.
