    Super bummed my imaging/case was not reviewed before I arrived. Dr. Horton is great but dismissing my recent high IOP reading as an error in light of my symptoms this year was frustrating.

    Dr. Horton expressed no interest in my condition, provided no instruction and gave no explanation of his concerns

    I'll bet Dr. Horton is an amazing surgeon, which is what you want when you need to eye surgery. In terms of bedside manner, personality, ability to convey to the patient that he cares for them and about them, he severely lacks in this area. He has difficulty with perspective taking and considering other possibilities than just the eyes that might be causing trouble with the eyes.
