Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Pituitary surgeries many years ago.
Very caring and thorough. Resection of pituitary tumor and a second time for a recurrence. Dr. Horgan made me feel safe going into those two major surgeries.

Great experience
I'm writing this three months after my disectomy. The results of the surgery are on the level of life changing. I have chronic back pain from work places injuries dating back 30 years. While the the MRI's and other imaging showed mild damage my pain level was off the charts and I no longer had the endurance to deal with it. Dr Horgan's visits were short and to the point (which I appreciate). The cause of my pain, the corrective actions and conduct of the procedure were explained, as well as the potential outcomes good and bad.I have had 7 previous surgeries and this was by far the best experience I have had. I was off prescription pain killers after 3 doses and all pain medicine after 2 days! I received a call from the Dr. approximately one week after the procedure prior to the start of PT.His office staff is fantastic and does a good job of getting you in and out. They are responsive and flexible in scheduling. Overall I am very pleased with the outcome and total experience.

Dr. Horgan, You cared for me in the Winter of 2004 at Fletcher Allen just 10 days before my wedding. I was sad to hear you left UVM; the last time I was there you were still on leave. As a NY resident, I was thrilled to find your new affiliation with Strong and am currently trying to schedule an appointment to see you for my checkup. Unfortunately, I'm finding that scheduling one is requiring me to jump through hoops. I'm unsure why I need a referral to see you but I'm trying:)

Dr.Horgan removed a meningioma and did a wonderful job. I couldn't even find the suture line. I found him compassionate and professional. He has a way of conveying confidence and I felt I was in good hands. Also he came highly recommended by the or staff he worked with

I had a partial discectomy a few months ago. I never talked to him after surgery and the follow up was with the PA in the office. The initial visit the PA evaluated you, second visit dr spent 10 minutes to talk about surgery. The last visit PA discharges you.I still have no sensation in my fingers and I do have pain where the disc was removed. Should of had a follow up actual MD. I am going to have to go get re-evaluated but not that PA again. Will find a doctor to follow up and a MRI.
