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.

Always late
The PMA office is always late (15-30 minutes) calling you back to your appt and then the dr is always late to come into the room. Appt today was for 10am. Nurse called us back at 10:15 and spent 5 minutes with us. Dr Horak came in at 10:45 and talked until 11:05. On a previously schedule appt at 10am, I was not called back by nurse by 10:30. I left. The nurse called at 10:50 to find out where I was. I did not answer. Awesome knowledgeable dr but no respect for the patients time.

NOT TRUSTWORTHY
1st visit he wouldn't stop talking about himself, his background & people who graduated at the same University he went to. At this 1st visit, which was my well visit I asked for blood work which is included & should NOT be charged, he CHARGED ME for the blood work as regular bloodwork. BETH the office mgr. said they couldn't change it, and that I had to pay for it! I went for a follow up to get results of my bloodwork, I asked the doctor if I had to pay for the visit, HE SAID NO, to my surprise my husband who is in another state for the time being received the bill. I called & spoke to billing to ask why they sent the bill to my husband & why they were charging me for this. Next day office mgr. called and left a message saying that the insurance said I HAVE TO PAY for the visit, she lied because I spoke to my insurance and they said she NEVER CALLED !~ SHE LIED! I do NOT RECOMMEND this doctor nor his practice. NOT TRUSTWORTHY!
