I had X-ray, exam, instruction about exercises I should do, as well as prescription for PT, should I want to do it. The plan is, if pain in my knee continues, after 2 months, I should come back to see Dr. Hormel, and I would have a bone scan and cortisone shot. An excellent appointment !

Dr. Hormel is the best! He makes sure he understands what is going on and listens! That is truly hard to find with physicians. He has helped my son tremendously to continue to do what he loves, play soccer. Where most doctors will tell you to quit, Dr. Hormel finds solutions. HIGHLY recommend

Mar-2024
Good bedside manner. I felt like he was honest in my situation and advised against surgery - so not driven by profit. Only negative was that it was a quick appointment. He did answer my questions so I didn’t feel like I left with unanswered questions or wondering what was going on.

Feb-2024
Dr. Hormel is amazing! I ruptured my patellar tendon in a climbing fall and Dr. Hormel got me in right away. Every other orthopedist that I called brushed me off but Dr. Hormel made me a priority. He sensed the urgency that I felt and shared the same urgency with getting my knee repaired. I knew from the moment that he started talking with me that driving 5.5 hours to be seen by him was the right choice. He is extremely knowledgable, experienced, caring and compassionate. He listened to me, he explained the injury and the repair in detail, and he accommodated my needs. I felt like I was his only priority. Prior to meeting with Dr. Hormel I was nervous about a lot of things, since I was hours from home. After my consultation with him I had zero worries or concerns. I felt like a weight had been lifted. The procedure went well and I'm on the road to recovery. I feel great knowing that I'll continue to be under Dr. Hormel's care until I'm fully healed. Thank you Dr. Hormel!!
