Dr. Horst is THE BEST. He is attentive to my input regarding my issues and needs, and he is most excellent in clearly explaining and discussing my treatment options. Plus, Dr. Horst does it all with compassion and good humor. I have the utmost confidence in his surgical expertise, and would unwaveringly recommend him to anyone who needs a hand surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Horst, for taking such good care of me.

Dr Horst is a knowledgeable and caring physician. Ive recommended him to several friends who have had the same wonderful experience
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.
