Dr. Taylor Horst is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in injuries of the upper extremities, including the hand, wrist, and elbow.
Originally from Pennsylvania, Boston became my second home when I attended Tufts University. After earning my MD at the Tufts School of Medicine, I spent 6 years at the Medical University of South Carolina training in orthopaedic surgery. I returned to Boston for Fellowship training in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital. There, I saw a tremendous breadth of conditions affecting adults and children. My particular surgical interests include hand, wrist and elbow arthritis as well as bone and soft tissue trauma in the upper extremity. I have excellent experience and training in both open and arthroscopic treatment methods. I also have a particular interest in peripheral nerve disorders, including compression syndromes such as carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome, and have a large amount of experience with peripheral nerve repairs and grafting. When indicated, I always try to implement non-operative treatment methods before resorting to surgery.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, swimming, running, and photography.

He’s one of the best layed back doctors I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
He has been my Doctor for a while. He is very thorough and listens to all my concerns.
I am glad I have Dr Horst to bring my troubled skeleton for repair. Before any X-rays or tests there is a consultation an a Dx completed. The tests confirm the Dx and then it is on to treatment. Dr H always listens to the symptoms and makes his hands on exam to determine which component of the skin, skeleton, ligament, joint or nerve combines to cause symptoms. I trust his judgement and look forward to his expertise as my body ages to fix it for me. 😊👌
Very nice, knowledgeable doctor. Made me feel at ease.
Dr Horst is awesome! he came highly recommended. Did surgery on two of my friends and a third has gone to him. He is extremely professional and personable and took the time to assess and address my issue. I already have some relief from the treatment that he provided. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Just a decent person and a great doctor.
All good thanks!
