My experience with Dr. Munn has been exceptional! He repaired a tendon tear I experienced in Nov. 2025. I'm ahead of the recovery schedule, likely due to Dr. Munn's surgical skills. I have also found him to be very personable, yet professional. He takes time to answer any questions, and is very thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Murty Munn.

He examined both hands, confirmed my left arthritis is acting up. Exam of the right hand shows it’s there too. He stepped out for a minute and came back with medication for each. He’s a very skilled surgeon. His injections were right on target into the joints. I’m very comfortable with him as my doctor.

Dr Munn’s care of my young child was excellent. He was kind, thorough, skilled, and patient. He went above and beyond to make sure nothing was missed, and that he was able to see her for appropriate follow up the next week after her initial injury. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking orthopedic care, in particular anyone needing a hand specialist.

Dr. Horning has been The Best in every way. He's forthcoming, patient, conservative, and talented. He has an open dialogue with parents and the child....and listens. With my daughter's ACL tear, Meniscus and Sprained MCL, he approached the injury and recovery with such diligence. He knew her goal was to get back on the soccer pitch as soon as she was physically able to do just that. Her plans to play in college have been realized, and we owe much of that to him. Also, her scar is so small compared to every other scar I've seen.... and I've seen a lot of scars in this sport! Praying we won't ever need him again; however, he's my Top Choice!

I saw Dr. Horning for pain in my right knee. He was very kind and took his time explaining the problem to me, as well as explaining the two treatment options. When I asked for his opinion on which was the best option, he gave me good advice that required a shot in my knee. I expected the shot to be painful, but one gentleman sprayed a cold substance on my knew and when Dr. Horning gave me the shot, I didn't feel it at all -- not even a pinch. I would highly recommend Dr. Horning to other people.rater8 Verified Patient

I have seen Dr. Munn several times for a wrist fracture. Each time he has been knowledgeable, kind, caring, and compassionate. He truly cares about his patients. Even on my first visit, he immediately recognized the signs of CRPS. His care of my fracture and early diagnosis of CRPS gave me the ability to contact pain management and work on my CRPS in the early stages.

June 25th will be total replacement of my right knee. I feel confident this surgery will turn out like my left knee total replacement which happened six years ago by Dr. Rodney Brenneman. Both knees had tremendous pain with days that couldn’t even walk before operation. After 1st operation I had zero pain and physical therapy was a breeze. I’m hoping for same results on my right knee.

We used your competitor Orthopedic Group 2 years ago for a hand injury. We were undecided whether to switch our knee surgery over to them. We decided to go ahead with Dr Casey, I felt he gave us a no nonsense advice to our options on removing old hardware. I was very pleased with the outcome of the surgery, I would use Dr Casey again if the need arises. Please give recognition to Eden and Scott Auchter at Northpointe. Because of their excellent service at the onset of this issue, we felt more relaxed to proceed with OAL.
