Dr. Horst listened to my problem, did an exam and provided treatment. I’ve moved so I traveled from Western Mass to see him and it was well with the drive.
I appreciate being able to be seen when it was convenient to me and would return if needed.

Very knowledgeable doctor and obviously a very experienced specialist. Overall the visit was good however it felt very hurried. Judging by the amount of people in the waiting area it felt like a busy place,. My entire visit took 15 minutes.

Dr Horst seemed very competent. He explained the problem clearly and briefly, knew exactly what to do, and did it swiftly.
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.
