Dr. Horta is best doctor I have ever encountered. She listens well and definitely has a comprehensive understanding of my medical history. She explains things very well. She never seems rushed. She answers any questions I may have well. She is kind and compassionate and calls me by name, which no doctor has ever done. I am so thankful I recently moved my care to Dr. Horta!

Dr. Horta is wonderful. I did not feel rushed and she carefully explained various medications for me to understand. She answered my questions and allowed a safe space to ask questions when I was unsure of what was communicated. She is also familiar w/ my medical history and asks great questions when deciding care & next steps. Grateful!
