Both Dr. Hormel and the entire OPA team treated me so well, from check-in to the x-ray techs to Dr. Homel’s attentive manner and immediate treatment. He’s my doctor from now on!!!

Dr. Scott Hormel is perfect for someone like me. I worry nonstop about everything and so for someone like me having surgery is extra worrisome. And it’s not like I told him I was worried, he was like don’t overthink it.
Dr. Hormel gave me clear guidance about what to expect after surgery. I think he knows I’m fragile and he just has a good, kind yet strong way about him. He set my mind at ease and changed my perspective and it helped me so much.
I have total and utter respect for him the is very thorough his assistant Sarah, is a sweetheart and very knowledgeable.It’s really a cool office everybody there is very friendly and helpful. It’s a Good place for orthopedic help. My favorite thing about Dr. Scott Hormel are his communication skills and intuitive nature.

Dr. Hormel repaired my torn meniscus a number of years ago and I am now on a maintenance program with him. He does not “push” surgery, which I appreciate. He always tells me that I will tell him when I need surgery.
Dr. Hormel keeps me on the tennis court. Now if he could only do something with golf swing……
