What an unexpected pleasure with encounters from check-in through the time with Dr. Horning at this Ephrata office. Caring and professionalism were so evident. What I liked the most about Dr. Horning was the fact that he did not talk down to me as I have become accustomed to with other doctors since I moved to Lancaster. He treated me like I had a brain, was educated and focused on my personal health issue and educated and informed when I had questions. He never appeared rushed or impatient. I would give him 10 stars if I could! I expect my rotator cuff surgery will be equally professional, and that I will be treated with dignity and the best possible support from him and his staff.

He knew from our conversations how important is was for me to get back to my normal activities. He also wanted to make sure I was ready to have the surgery mentally.
