Comment: Dr.Horton was the only doctor I had a consultation with who really listened to what I wanted to achieve and didn’t try to upsell me with more procedures or a complex surgery. She was warm and caring like talking with a friend. She was clear on what was possible with what routes we chose together. Dr. Horton is a great surgeon and her practice is a boutique experience so she is more expensive than others but I found that her and her staff made it worth it. She was also able to fix a big scar from my previous surgery which was the cherry on top of the whole experience. It’s been a year and I am so happy with the results.

Comment: Dr Horton is one of the kindest, talented, beautiful surgeons I have ever met in my entire life . I discovered her in 2019 with the intention of correcting my inverted nipples, I was only 19 at the time . Having this body function visually you know how insecure you are as a women and everyday showering changing and seeing them and how embarrassing it is to have them I thought there would never be a solution until I found her . I discovered after watching many procedures in India and doctors all around the world she was in the same city as me. I booked a consultation and when approaching the office being greeted by the two ladies at the front desk the pink chairs the offering of tea and water I knew I was at the right place. Dr Horton brought me to the back and took a look and what I thought was my life’s worst nightmare. she kindly calmed me in a way I’ve never experienced . She assured me that she was able to resolve it in a way that it would satisfy me . Since that day I’ve stopped crying and experiencing the horrible anxiety I was facing . My surgery was in October 11 2023 and I was very nervous . Her team is phenomenal there are no words to describe how well and comforting this women is . The pink robes, my bed was heated, I felt like a women for the first time in my life . The surgery itself was not nearly as painful as I expected and the aftercare was very minimal compared to what I thought it would be . Dr Horton and the team was very attentive making sure to always ask me of my needs before during and at every follow up appointment. She is better than every doctor than every surgeon and every medical provider that I have encountered . She allowed me to be annoying and particular gave me a direct contact to voice my issues and concerns and NEVER ONCE TOLD ME NO. Never once shut down my desires like the doctors I’ve previously visited some even being stationed at Kaiser. Even my doctors at Kaiser never told me there was a surgery to solve this. Following up after was very smooth I would come in be kindly greeted drink tea get food at the cafe the staff of the whole building now know me and I greet them when I enter I feel included in the process . This experience changed my life forever and I cannot thank her or her team enough for everything they have done for me. I feel more at home here than my actual house because they are accommodating and very responsive. 5/5 and I would come here in the future for other procedures because of how smooth this process was . Dr Horton is a very talented surgeons who deserve accolades in the work produced

Comment: Went here in 2016 for cosmetic surgery and regret it since . Not only did Dr Horton skimp over the procedure, she did a sloppy job and did not care about the results afterwards. In addition they used my pictures on their website without my permission. That alone should tell you about their morals. Definitely DONT recommend.

Comment: Very friendly and inviting. As soon as I walk through the door my comfort was priority for the staff. Dr Horton was amazing, very warm and relatable, more importantly her honesty is what stood out. The procedure I was seeking was more complex than I imagined, Dr Horton did a great job in explaining the different options and potential outcomes, I appreciated her candidness and left the office with an informative state of min. Highly recommend her for your surgical endeavors.

Comment: I dont even know where to begin. Dr. Horton is a magician! I have been wanting my implants out and reduction/lift for years. I struggled with an identity crisis, feeling like these breast where not me, did not fit me. Dr. Horton understood my wishes and desires, the outcome is even better than I imagined it. From the first consultation, I knew she was different from any other doctor I interviewed. She did not rush through the consultation; took her time to get to know me, my lifestyle, my family, who I am and what I want out of the procedure. From that moment on I knew Dr. Horton was my doctor. The procedure was flawless, and my recovery has been amazing. When I look in the mirror I finally resonate with my reflection, I finally feel like me. With tears in my eyes I write this, she truly changed my life!! Plus the whole staff is amazing, you feel like part of the family. Can not say enough good things. Best experience, best doctor!

Comment: I had been wanting a breast reduction for 5+ years but was also wildly picky because I didn’t want them to just look like they’d been cut off. I did my research and went to consultations with who I had narrowed down and believed to be the top 3 surgeons in CA that could give me the results I wanted. I knew almost immediately that Dr Horton is who I was going to choose. She explained everything start to finish, even pairing you with past patients similar to yourself that you can talk to before ever deciding to book it! Her before and after pictures speak for themselves, but it was so much more than that. Karen is not only super smart and knowledgeable in her profession but generally cares for your well being and what YOU want. The rest of her team was amazing too! Meilu and Mary guided me through the whole process. Nurse Emily explained everything and then some pre-opp, I never felt so confident going into a surgery in my life! I love these ladies and would recommend anyone and everyone go here for top notch care that looks amazing.

Comment: I chose Dr. Karen Horton for my procedure because after many consultations over years, with so many surgeons I just could never bring myself to go through with it as I did not have this innate trust from within just never felt right..Fast forward many years...I heard from various word of mouth clients/ stories of Karen Horton and how amazing she is, I decided to go check it out.What was most impressive was one of the stories that a patient shared who actually had a complication and insisted that I must see Dr. Horton due to how she handled every step of the complication. This story actually made me trust Karen even more, when we allow our bodies to go under such complex surgeries we need those surgeons who are not only great and amazing but what if something goes wrong who would we trust to get us out of it... This is more important to me.I have placed my trust in Karen and the staff she surrounds herself with from Emily RN, front desk staff, Mary, Pre-op and post-op RNs, Anesthesia Dr. Gordon etc...It takes a team but more importantly how the team performs under an amazing leader.My experience was the following I felt completely informed all the way through every aspect, I was given past patients to call and gain more references, It was very clear to me and my husband what we would expect day before, day of surgery, after and the subsequent weeks to follow.I am over a week post op and can already see, feel and tell how amazing the work Dr. Horton performed and although its a major surgery I feel confident that as time progresses I will be even more happier with results, outcomes and service.Thank you Dr. Horton and team!

Comment: First Class is the best description for Dr Horton. She treats you like her best friend, she is very professional and is an artist. She gave me a procedure that changed my life forever! I feel like a new person and would not have wanted anyone different to have done the surgery. Highly recommend!!!

Comment: I DEEPLY REGRET doing surgery with Dr Horton. She used the wrong materials during my surgery that led to permanent scar damage. This was not an isolated experience. She told me she repeated the same mistake across many surgeries over a full year and a half. Judging from my experience, choosing to be a patient of Dr Horton means risking your body.Dr Horton improperly used a jelly that was known to increase the likelihood of wounds not healing and increase scar sites. My scars are red, bleed everywhere years after surgery, and are significantly larger than they should have been had the surgery been done correctly.Aside from the obviously incredibly disappointing result, I have three concerns with Dr Horton’s character in handling this:1) She didn’t proactively contact me about this known issue or tell me about it during multiple visits I made to her office in the year following surgery. I found it myself once I was pregnant, and have had to live with terrible scarring without intervention for over a year now because I could not fix the issue while pregnant or breastfeeding. This has put me in an awful position during pregnancy. I could have fixed it if she had told me about it.2) When confronted with the damage she did, Dr Horton said, “well, maybe the baby won’t stick and we can fix it sooner”. I don’t need to say more about how disturbing this is.3) Dr. Horton didnt take responsibility for her mistake. At first she blamed the surgery center, but she was the surgeon who put the wrong thing into my body. Then in email and during multiple visits she said she would help fix the permanent damage she caused. She told me I just needed to wait to stop breastfeeding. Days after the window where I could sue her passed, she sent me a letter to renege on the commitment she made to help me.Dr Horton’s whole shtick is that she “increases confidence in women”. My experience was the opposite: she made me uncomfortable to show my skin because it is so deeply damaged with scarring. This has been an incredibly regrettable experience, and Dr Horton showed her true colors in a really dark time that she created in my life. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars with this woman only to feel tricked, wronged, and mistreated by her and her staff.Please don’t make the same mistake I did. If your experience is like mine, you’ll regret allowing Dr. Horton to touch your body.

Comment: Making major medical decisions can be utterly and completely overwhelming, terrifying, and challenging, but getting a breast reduction from Dr. Horton was the easiest decision I have ever made in my life. I was recommended by my fabulous esthetician, and the intial consultation was so incredibly validating. I thought I was being vain and selfish wanting this for myself but Dr. Horton made me feel heard and seen. I felt so cared for and my procedure was handled beautifully. I cried the first time I went to try on clothes post procedure; I finally felt like me. ♥️The entire office, from its beauty, to the office staff, makes you feel so truly comfortable. Its been almost two years since my reduction and Dr. Horton is going to do a few aesthetic revisions for me and I trust her so totally and completely.If youre reading this and curious, just do it, hun, go get a consultation! Going to that appointment was the best decision of my life and has improved it beyond measure. I will be forever grateful to Karen and the women in her office. ♥️♥️♥️

Comment: I believe in doing my research and I had read everything I could find about Dr Horton before calling to get a consultation appointment. All of the information, including ALL of the reviews, indicated that I would be in very good hands for my explant (removal of my breast implants) procedure. However, I also knew that an in person meet would help to fill in the other questions I had that maybe werent addressed via social media, internet searches and online reviews. I am not generally taken in by bells and whistles so I was prepared to discount the location (stunning views of the San Francisco skyline from the top of Webster St), the front office aesthetics (tastefully decorated waiting area with very comfortable seating) and the bright warmth of each examining/consultation room. But you cant fake caring, and that is what got me. From Niloo at the front desk, Emily as the pre-op nurse, Mary as patient coordinator and finally, Karen (Dr Horton) as the amazing person who formed this practice, I can honestly say that from each one of them I felt a genuine and heartfelt concern and caring...they were going to exceed my expectations. It was so palpably believable that I KNEW I was in very good hands.It has now been 8 days since my procedure and I am thrilled! The procedure (local anesthesia) was as described, the recovery was better than expected, the results make me so happy and everything Dr Horton counseled me on was true and accurate. I recommend her without reservation and with the highest degree of confidence that you will not be better served.Thank you Dr Horton for your wonderful talent in plastic surgery and your dedication to hiring an exemplary staff to complement your practice.Warm Regards,Joan

Comment: My breasts were never normal. Even when I was a teenager, when breasts should be as perky as they are ever gonna be, my nipples pointed at the ground. I just tried to pretend it didnt bother me because my breasts were not gonna be improved by simply adding implants.One day I had had enough and I started researching surgeons online. I came across Dr. Hortons gallery of before and after pictures and I was struck by two things: 1) she tackles hard cases and 2) she makes beautiful breasts.My surgery was a year ago, healing was a slow process, but I am so glad I found her and got brave enough to schedule a consultation. I am very happy with my outcome. DR. Horton is talented, down to earth, and supportive.

Comment: I have seen 5 plastic surgeons in order to correct a botched breast reduction. I cant say enough about this Doctor. Others could care less and rushed me out. I was a number to them. Karen took the time to ask me what I wanted and what was important to me. This women is not just an incredibly talented surgeon she is a human being who genuinely wants what is best for her patients. I have never been treated this way from any Plastic Surgeons I have seen. She is a breath of fresh air. I waited 3 months to see her and i can tell you she is worth it.

Comment: I saw Dr. Horton for a tummy tuck and from consult to 1 year post op she has been a supportive and comforting surgeon throughout the entire process. She truly cares about her patients and took as much as time as needed to address my concerns and offered genuine advice. I couldn’t be happier with the results, the procedure has done wonders for my confidence and as a personal trainer I have also seen improvements in my core functionality after surgery. I cannot recommend Dr. Horton enough! She is a world-class surgeon who puts her patients first.

Comment: I had an amazing experience with Dr. Horton. I had a bilateral breast reduction with liposuction. I first reached out to her when I was 17 and got a list of her previous patients in with similar procedures to contact and speak with. She also gave me her personal number prior to the surgery so I could ask any questions I had and send pictures or concerns afterwards. I had to reschedule multiple times due to an illness and resulting colectomy surgeries and they were very gracious and patient. Dr. Horton required approval from my colorectal surgeon to proceed with the reduction. Having had two (medically necessary) surgeries recently I was able to tell them what to expect in terms of anxiety and symptoms such as nausea and they prescribed all the meds I would need ahead of time. They also had no problem with my having an ostomy. Dr. Horton and all of the nurses were so lovely and friendly and its always fun to visit the clinic for follow up appts. I never felt pressured into any purchases or procedures and my vision was taken very much into consideration by Dr. Horton. I feel and look amazing!

Comment: Dr. Horton and her team are absolutely AMAZING!! From the consultation, Dr. Horton and her team were so warm and welcoming. They immediately put me at ease. I was nervous and had a lot of questions about liposuction, Dr. Horton gave me the full and most detailed run down. She explained how the procedure would work, how long the recovery time would be, any possible complications and what to expect. She was super through and did not spare any detail, in the best way possible. I felt throughly informed and felt very well taken care of with the team. Even with my nerves on the day of the surgery, Dr. Horton and her team ensured I was comfortable and had all the support needed. My one and only regret was not doing this procedure with Dr. Horton’s clinic earlier. I would 100 thousand percent recommend Dr. Horton and her incredible, amazing, superstar team!

Comment: Dr. Horton and her team have been nothing short of exceptional! I am so grateful to have found such a skilled surgeon. My post-op results are even better that my initial expectations. I honestly didnt think I would ever get to a place where I would be comfortable in my own skin, but Dr. Horton was able to get me there not only through her amazing surgical expertise, but also through her kindness and patience with me as I navigated this process.@Dr. Horton - THANK YOU so much for all of your efforts and for helping me get my life back!! ...and also, thanks for always giving the best hugs! :) Youre such a wonderful person!

Comment: Dr. Horton was absolutely amazing! She performed my DIEP Flap microsurgery right before Christmas in 2009. She was so kind to accommodate my school schedule and do the intricate surgery over the holidays. The surgery was very successful.Dr. Horton was very open and informative before the surgery. Even though it was a complicated and intricate surgery, I felt totally comfortable with her ability and experience since she performed that type of surgery often.Dr. Horton exudes confidence (I mean that in the best way possible) and is able to back that up with her work. She has awesome bedside manner, and she came to see me everyday that I was in the hospital for post-op.I would absolutely recommend Dr. Horton, she is one of my favorite doctors!

Comment: 5 stars so for Dr. Horton and staff. I had breast implants removed 3 years ago and was left with not a pretty picture. to say the least. I needed help to get back to a normal comfort level with my body. I did my research and chose Dr. Horton.Honest review? I waited for over an hour for my consult a year ago. She was running late. I dont like waiting, but good things come to those who are patient patients! She was late because she was spending time with another patient who needed a bit more of her time, and I appreciated this so much. She will give you the time to address every one of your concerns, no matter the time. She is truly devoted to every patient and it shows.As for the entire surgery, she and her staff were no less than amazing. Follow up for over a year--several check in visits to monitor healing and progress--she is there for the whole process and she is there with true dedication. Just had a final small fix surgery in her new on site surgery suite and will be back in 3 months for after pics.Totally thrilled with the results and Dr. Hortons skills as a surgeon and her staff. All stellar. All on point and all patient focused. Grateful.

Comment: I am writing this review to let others know my experience with Dr. Horton. In 2021, I had liposuction of the chin and lower abdomen. I woke up and my lower lip was dropping and numb, Dr.Horton assured me that this would only last a few weeks well my lip is still dropping and numb and it has been many months. My smile is crooked, and this has left me very insecure about talking with others and taking any pictures. My second issue is the placement of the “incisions” for the chin liposuction she put them on my cheeks in an obvious location. The incisions have left a divot in my cheek and a very visible scar that will need laser treatment. While I am not a doctor if you were to google placement of incisions for chin liposuction it never references incisions to be placed on the cheeks. The incisions are to be placed behind the ear and under the chin. I wish I would have never had any procedures done by Dr.Horton as this has cause me much stress and embarrassment due to how my face looks. I hope those who are looking to get plastic surgery really do their homework and pick a well-qualified doctor that will give them their best results.

Comment: I truly can’t say enough incredible things about Dr. Horton. I recently underwent a breast reduction surgery with her and to say it changed my life would be an understatement. I feel better and more confident, my clothes fit better, working out is easier, my back doesn’t hurt as much. It’s hard to put into words the impact this surgery and Dr. Horton especially had on my life. Dr. Horton is so kind, compassionate, and easy to work with - as is her entire staff. I had a lot of anxiety going into the surgery, and Dr. Horton listened to all my concerns and addressed each and every one. She is honest and doesn’t sugar coat the difficult aspects of the surgery. After the surgery, Dr. Horton made herself available almost 24/7, providing me (and all her patients) with her cell phone number so I could text her directly any time questions came up. There were numerous times I took her up on that offer as my scars healed post-surgery, and I sent her photos along the way to make sure she felt like things were progressing as expected. It’s five months post-op for me now and Dr. Horton continues to show care, compassion, and genuine interest in making sure I’m happy with the results of the surgery. I had been contemplating getting this surgery done for at least six or seven years before I met Dr. Horton, and not one person made me feel nearly as comfortable as she did. Dr. Horton, thank you thank you thank you!! I honestly can’t thank you enough.

Comment: EPIC Surgeon and Team!Having a history of family breast cancer for many years, I’ve had my share and experiences with doctors and surgeons. Six surgeries and 4 surgeons later, I was exhausted, ready to give up and accept the botched results following a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. Faith have it, I was referred from a friend of a friend to Dr. Horton after moving to the Bay Area. From the minute I met Dr. Karen Horton, I immediately felt the connection. Her knowledge as a surgeon really was impressive and her compassion was heartwarming. She has helped many hundreds of women feel beautiful and her portfolio and gallery showcase a glimpse of her talent. Lucky for me, I chose Dr. Karen Horton for my breast reconstruction DIEP Flap procedure journey. WoW! Just WoW! I could write a book, but I’ll try and summarize this. . . Dr. Horton is blessed with “Golden Hands”. Preop, we met several times, she strategically put a plan in place, post op she visited every day in the hospital making sure I had everything I needed and answered any questions, we communicated via text messages and phone calls (over the holidays at that) and she made sure I felt supported every step, every day & every minute. Partner and mentor, Microsurgeon Dr. Rudolf Buntic assisted with the DIEP Flap procedure. He too is a superior surgeon with great off menu smoothie recommendations during my hospital stay. 😊 In my opinion, these two surgeons as a team are truly the top elite list of surgeons for breast reconstruction in the country. I literally hit the lotto with the Horton team, not limited to, Nurse Mari for pre-op, post op care, taking hours to make sure I was well informed. Office Director, Mary Pasache ensured all the administrative work, scheduling, hospital admin, post care, insurance protocols were seamless and never had one issue or discrepancy. Front desk team always answer the phone with a direct number which is huge these days. Receptionist Niloo, always a breath of fresh air, welcoming, familiar your case, offering water, tea, cookies while in waiting and seeing me off to my favorite Gaga tunes making me feel like a million $$ on my worst days. It’s been a two-year journey and one of the most impactful relationship of my life. I am forever grateful. If you have a vision and want to make it a reality, I highly recommend you see Dr. Horton.

Comment: I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Karen Horton. I chose her because of her reputation as an excellent surgeon. She and her team were professional and efficient at every step of the process and prepared me well for surgery. During my healing I texted Dr. Horton personally whenever I had any questions. I happened to have many just because Im a very careful person, and she always responded with clear answers almost immediately. Its been almost five years since the procedure, and I am happy as ever about the results. Deciding to do this procedure and choosing Dr. Horton as my surgeon was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Comment: I recently had a breast reduction/lift with Dr. Horton. To say that she is calming, low-key, compassionate and does excellent work is an understatement. With all the experience she has with Breast Reconstruction Surgery and the amazing work she does for her cancer patients I knew that putting my body into her hands was a fabulous decision and I was right! 4 weeks post-op and I am feeling good, gaining my strength and all looks fabulous. I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a doctor who will do what is best for your body and make you look and feel glamorous.

Comment: I chose Dr Horton for my Mommy Makeover because she had all the accolades that told me she absolutely knew what she was doing and was great at her job. However, what really sold me was who she is. She made me feel very comfortable and like she really cared. My results are amazing I am completly happy with my decision. Doc Horton, was with me every step of the way. My post care was just as amazing.

Comment: Dr. Karen Horton is amazing. She was my reconstructive plastic surgeon and worked in conjunction with my breast surgeon during my mastectomy. I feel whole again! It was such a blessing to wake up from surgery with a beautiful breast rather than an empty space. I was petrified of being disfigured and feeling lopsided when I learned about my cancer and that I would have to lose my right breast. Dr. Horton helped me feel beautiful and complete! I highly recommend her, she is well worth the wait!!!!!

Comment: Review by a physician: I had a wonderful experience with Dr Horton and her staff. I had a mastectomy and reconstruction due to breast cancer. I wish I had known about Dr Horton then! My reconstruction was terribly done, disfiguring and uncomfortable. I was getting numbness in my fingers. None of the plastic surgeons in my area felt competent to repair it, so I lived with it for far too long.I found Dr Horton, and she “gets it.” I actually cried at my first visit because she told me what was wrong without me even having to tell her. She understands the aesthetics and the function. Not only that, but she has the surgical skill to repair it.The front office is great with appointments and check-in. Mary helps you with prices, payments, and figuring out surgery schedules. Mari did an amazing job with pre-op teaching so that I knew what to expect. Hope I didn’t leave anyone out.I am now 5 months after surgery, and thrilled with my results!There are 2 stages to cancer. First, you just want to survive. Second is survivorship- wanting quality to your life. Dr Horton and her staff fully cater to this second half.After seeing what she was able to do for me, imagine what she can do for someone who did not have a botched first surgery. As an Ob-Gyn, I encourage people to come to her first!

Comment: I had liposuction of the abdomen with Dr. Horton, this is my very first surgery, so I was quite nervous! Dr. Horton helped ease my anxiety, made me feel comfortable, and was very transparent with me. Her whole Team was incredible, from the front desk [Niloo] - to Mary & the people at the Hayes surgery center. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. Welcomed all questions, at various hours [She provides you with her number to text]. Beyond that, I am two weeks post OP and very happy with my results so far! I Still have some time until I am fully recovered, but am happy, as she walked me through the healing process and what to expect. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic surgeon who does their job with compassion.

Comment: After extensive research in the bay area for liposuction specialists I had finally decided on Dr. Karen Horton. She was the most detailed, informative, passionate Dr. I had interviewed. Although more expensive than the others, I felt that it was worth the extra money when having this type of procedure so I was happy to pay the premium. Im 2 weeks post op and I cannot believe the results I got. She went way above and beyond not just a suck out of this area and that area but a completely comprehensive contour that gave me an entirely new body that I couldnt be happier with. The before and after is dramatic. Not only that, but her attentiveness is shocking! She gives you her personal phone number so you can text with any questions or concerns. The after care is extraordinary and am confident that she has to be one of the top specialists in the area. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Comment: If I could give Dr. Karen Horton 100 stars I would. I recently got liposuction to the neck and wasnt sure what to expect. The communication her team has with their patients is amazing, and the kindness in the office is so enlightening. When I was getting the procedure done, the nurse held my hand and calmed me down so much. Her and the Doctor were nothing but kind, patient, and understanding when it came to me getting nervous or asking questions. I am very nervous about needles and the idea of surgery definitely makes me anxious, but with Dr. Horton, and her nurse, my stress immediately left the room. Even when sitting in the waiting room before surgery and overhearing the receptionists answering the phone, it was so nice to listen to them having real conversations and laughing. A good reminder that it costs nothing to be nice! Besides all of this, I wouldnt recommend a surgeon higher than doctor Horton and her team.

Comment: Dr. Horton and her staff are incredible. I knew at our first meeting that I had found the right doctor. My Abdominoplasty Surgery was about a month ago and went extremely well. It was an excellent experience. Dr. Horton is one of the most compassionate, caring and interesting people I have met in recent years. I am so truly thankful for the work Dr. Horton was able to do for me. She is a talented surgeon that I would highly recommend.

Comment: If I could give Dr. Horton 10 stars I would!! I went to see her after a poor result with another surgeon. Dr. Horton made me instantly comfortable and at ease. This was important as my previous results were so terrible. Immediately after surgery I knew I would look better and almost one year later I am beyond thrilled with how I look. Even more importantly, her care post-surgery and responsiveness is amazing and so appreciated!!

I am only 7 days post -op, and cant believe how happy I am with her work. She is honest, and truly cares about her patients. She gives you her cell #, and encourages you to text her anytime with any questions or concerns. Ive had plastic surgery years ago, but decided to go with Dr. Horton this time and I couldnt be happier. My friends are taking her # and getting in line!

Comment: Dr. Horton is a dream come true. Not only was she able to work within the confines of insurance requirements, she performed a beautiful surgery that truly is a work of art. Dr. Horton answered every single question I had, followed up with me when I needed it, and gave me all of the information and tools I needed to feel confident in my procedure. I felt entirely supported and cared for by her and her staff every step of the way. Not only has Dr. Horton changed my life with her craft, shes changed my perception on how extraordinary a doctor-patient relationship can be.

Comment: My Husband and I met with Dr. Karen Horton on 1-27-20 for a consultation in regard to a Breast Flap Revision caused by breast cancer. I have had 13 surgeries with other Plastic Surgeons with unsatisfactory results. It has been very disheartening thinking this is the surgery that will be the one.... to be disappointed once again. I searched and found Dr. Hortons website and was extremely impressed by her photo gallery. I have been reluctant to have more surgery but after coming this far it is hard to quit now. Dr. Horton was very kind, gracious, understanding, positive and understood the results I am hoping for. Dr. Horton had suggestions on what to do to help me achieve my goal. She is intelligent sure of herself and listened to my story. I really appreciated that she was so informative on what she would do and what to expect. Dr. Horton is a beautiful and vibrant woman on the outside and my Husband and I could see right away that she has integrity and class. I scheduled surgery with Dr. Horton for 3-26-20 and I am very appreciative and excited for her to perform it. Dr. Hortons office staff are very polite, friendly and very efficient in regard to scheduling and taking care of the necessary paper work. Sincerely, Joanna Moore

She is very detail oriented and cares deeply about her patients and her work. Her support staff are wonderful. Nurse Mary is pratical, down to earth with a fantastic beside manner. Mary will go above and beyond to take care of billing and insurance. I just wish there were more doctors out there with Dr. Hortons care for her clients. Highly recommend.

Comment: Dr. Horton is professional and a thorough surgeon. She actually listens to you and is honest with her answers. She explains step by step what she feels is best for your situation. After my bi-lateral mastectomy, I had implants placed. However, my body rejected one of the implants. My next option was to see if I was a candidate for a flap. My husband and I saw two different surgeons and Dr. Horton was the surgeon we chose. I am thankful we met her, as she did an amazing job on the flap and touch up one year later. She quickly answers your texts or phone calls. Not only is she an amazing surgeon, she is personable too. You are in great hands with Dr. Karen Horton.

Comment: Today I am 6 weeks post op from a Tummy Tuck. Today I am ready to share my story.Hi, I am a 38year old mother of 2. I had 2 gigantic babies via C-section, that turned my stomach into a very sad place. I work out, I eat well, but no matter what I did there it was. The crumpled-up skin and shelf I knew as my body. I hid it well. REAL well. Nobody knew, but I was dying inside. Finally, in Jan I scheduled my surgery. Dr. Horton was first on my list. Why? Because she gets it. She is a mom, a businesswoman and a person that I knew when I spoke of my struggles, she got it. We spent hours chatting about expectations, what was going to happen and the recovery.June 20th I went in. 6 am I arrived... checked in, get in a robe, lay down, IV in, pass out - wake up 4.5 hours later.. to a new BOD… that’s when the FUN STARTED.Did it hurt? Not at first. I stayed overnight and was pretty drugged up the first 48 hours. After about 72 hours you start coming back to life and it feels a little weird. You can’t stand up straight and things like moving are a challenge. I was lucky enough to have my mother here to take care of me for a week. Mostly the first 10 days I slept, and rested. Pain scale overall harder than a C-section, but not something you can’t handle. It is about 10 days of difficult then just sore.Week 2-3 were healing time lots of naps and resting. By week 4 you round the corner and now 6 weeks out I feel like a million bucks.The feeling of difference is immediate. The results are exactly as Dr. Horton described. She told me what would hurt where and how long this would take to heal etc.Dr. Horton as a woman is amazing. As a surgeon she is brilliant. I went to sleep with her holding my hand, I woke up with her smiling at me. I went to sleep night one with her coming to visit and when I awoke the next day, she was there checking in on me.Would I do it again. YES. Would I recommend Dr. Horton 1000x YES!!! She is a real woman who understands our bodies and sets real expectations. My journey has been a long and hard one. I am so proud to say I am on the other side now. If you are thinking about this surgery, my only advice is to really select the right doctor that actually hears what you want, and take a month off.. you will need it!

Comment: My wife is a breast cancer survivor and had a nipple and skin sparing mastectomy about 11 years ago. Over the last 3-4 years her implants have really been causing a lot of pain, discomfort and possibly even some health issues. We had our initial consult with Dr. Horton about 2-3 months ago and she was so professional and positive that it almost did not seem real. Prior to visiting Dr. Horton, we had seen a number of other plastic surgeons (in our home town) that were insensitive and down right arrogant. Dr. Horton is the complete opposite. She is confident but not cocky!My wife just completed her DIEP Flap Reconstructive surgery and even though it has only been a week since her surgery we are very, very please with the results. It is absolutely incredible what Dr. Horton was able to do to create new breast for my wife and all out of her existing belly fat. Truly AMAZING procedure and Dr.!We are hopeful that by removing the implants she will also start to see some significant health improvements over the next 12 months as many other women have reported.Thank you Dr. Horton

Comment: Dr Horton is amazing caring and incredibly knowledgeable physician. She’s is methodical and able to understand the issue, and mine was complicated, and give you the her best recommendations for correction, which is exactly what she did for me. She was able to correct a medical problem that no other dr was able to do. Throughout the entire process she kept me well informed, which is so good because I’m not a doctor and I didn’t want another physician glossing over my problem. She actually pointed out what was really wrong and she actually fixed it. I’ve been needing this for more than two decades and she was the one to do it. I cannot thank her enough for giving me the confidence that I needed/wanted. Here’s a tip, I interviewed multiple physicians first and after our one conversation I knew she would be the smartest doctor around. Kudos Dr. Horton, you don’t just put a bunch of fluff in your brochures- you delivered!

Comment: Ive had a mastectomy, reconstruction, and the loss of the other breast as a result of infection and complications from a surgery to replace implants. I came to Karen Horton broken and discouraged. Words are insufficient to express my gratitude to her for her compassion, talent and expertise in reconstruction that is, in my case, natural and, I think, beautiful. I lived for 30 years with breasts and disfigurement that caused me to avoid intimacy. That has all changed thanks to the work of Karen Horton.

Comment: The short: Dr Horton and her team of professions are amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.The longer version: I met Dr Horton and her staff in late summer of 2018 when I decided to go in for an initial consultation. The office was professional, but warm and inviting. All the staff were friendly and helpful.What struck me when I first met Dr Horton is how sincere she is about your health and your goals. She does an honest assessment and is straight with you about what will help you achieve them. She doesn’t try to oversell you, or push you in any direction. She is warm, kind and thoughtful. I had met other Dr’s before deciding, and none of the others had that same factor.Once I decided to move forward with my surgery, the office was sure I had all the information I needed. The pre-op appointment with Nurse Mary (who is also amazing) was very helpful to both me and my husband who would take care of me the next few weeks. And, at this point Dr Horton gives her patients her private cell number to call or text if you have any questions or concerns. We did use it 2 times, and both times she answered addressing our concerns and letting us know what to do next. I have felt cared for, understood and empowered through this entire processes, and I am SO HAPPY with my results.I had read the reviews that say sometimes the office runs late, so I was prepared for that. And I can say honestly, the office was often a little behind schedule when I had appointments, but no longer than you might wait anywhere else.Overall I am pleased with my results, all the staff, and Dr Horton. She and her staff are some of the best. I almost never leave reviews, but I highly recommend her and her team.

Comment: Dr. Horton and her staff were fantastic! I had my bilateral mastectomy reconstruction redone after 10 years as I was embarrassed at how I looked and she gave me my breasts back, tattoos during surgery and all! I gave her 5 stars out of 5, she really earned 10 stars out of 5. Amazing compassion, professionalism, artistry and medical expertise! The pre-surgery education and post surgery education kept you informed making the process easier. Thank you Dr. Horton for helping me and caring for me. The 4 hour drive to SF for appointments was so worth it!

Comment: If youre just THINKING about scheduling a consultation with Karen, dont wait! DO IT NOW!I was a young and desperate breast cancer patient when I found Karen. All the plastic surgeons I had seen for my breast reconstruction didnt seem to understand the particular needs of a young cancer patient. From the moment I spoke with Mary -- Karens right hand lady -- I knew this would be the team for me. Mary was so compassionate and able to schedule me right away. When I met Karen, I KNEW she was the one, and suddenly there seemed to be some hope in my cancer treatment.Karen claims she is not a fairy godmother, but dont believe her! Almost by magic, she helped me put my life back together post cancer. What I love most about Karen is her mastery of her craft, and the skills she brings to her work.So dont hesitate -- call her now and schedule an appointment!

Comment: After extensive research I chose Dr. Horton to be my daughters surgeon. The entire staff was knowledgeable and friendly and so respectful of my daughter and her needs. The procedure is done in a hospital, we chose to have her stay overnight to be absolutely safe on pain control and it being her first surgery. The hospital staff was equally amazing, I personally have never seen a kinder night staff in a hospital . She is thrilled with the result, as am I. Dr. Horton is such a skilled surgeon the scarring is healing beautifully and minimally . I trusted her with my child and she did an amazing job keeping her safe and healthy. She changed my childs life!

Comment: I had a breast lift on my right side only and augmentation with Dr. Karen Horton 6 weeks ago. 10 years total of nursing left me with very deflated uneven breasts. My confident and self esteem suffered a lot because of this to the point where I couldn’t wear a tight shirt without an insert on one side to even them out. I Initiallu chose Karen because she has amazing before and after and because I appreciated her views on implants and being placed over the muscle. I was looking for a natural look and something that wouldn’t interfere with fitness. I live in lodi which is an hour and a half away, usually two or more because of traffic. Her prices were more but.. I wanted the very best surgeon! Travel, inconvenience and money did not matter to me because Karen is that good. She is responsive very friendly and seems to genuinely care. She puts her heart into her work, and I believe being passionate about a job like this is essential. During my pre op her nurse spent over an hour with me making sure I was comfortable and all my questions had been answered. Karen went over my “wish pics” in detail taking note of every aspect of each that I wanted to achieve and making me explain why I wanted certain attributes. She was tuned in with me and understanding of everything I desired. Made me feel very comfortable with something that can be embarrassing and intimate. On the day of my surgery she came and talked to me and was alert and friendly and smiling. Surgery day was one of the best days of my life! Go to sleep wake up and felt amazing! Minimal pain, her staff cared if I was prone to nausea or anxiety and addressed all my needs. Karen gives you her personal cell number and you can text or call her anytime and she always answers! Even small seemingly silly questions she answers quickly! So comforting to have that and I know lots of ladies who do not have that relationship with their surgeon. She had warned me I might look a little strange on my one side that had a lift compared to my other for the first 6 weeks or so and I was so pleasantly surprised that I loved them from day 1. Absolutely gorgoes cleavage right away! I look thinner and feel much more confident. It’s honestly amazing what having beautiful breasts can do for you! Also.. Karen did free lipo on my armpits! Love them now! My sister wants to travel all the the way from Seattle to see Karen because they are that beautiful! From the bottom of my heart karen thank you for giving me back my body! 💗

Comment: I watch the show Botched (Where screwed up plastic surgery is fixed) like crazy, so when I was looking for my own surgeon, I had a list of qualifications. Dr. Horton hit all of them and MORE. She is kind, caring, compassionate. She is HONEST about what to expect, what you need to deal with, what results you will get. She does not push you to book right away, she gives you time to think it over.I spoke to her other aitents and they all had nothing but nice things to say about her and her service, and I totally see why. I LOVE my results, I look great, but also natural. I appreciate that her staff also do scar management therapy. I just started doing it and I am already seeing results.Post surgery, she has been super kind, given me lots of great advice and encouragement. I appreciate I could text her with questions and get a reply same day. I am so happy I found her.

Comment: Dr. Karen Horton is a talented surgeon with an excellent bedside manner to match. She performed a breast implant exchange to downsize my old implants that were too large for my petite frame. I was anxious going into this procedure because Id had a bad experience with my previous surgeon who didnt listen to my desires and left me with awkwardly large breasts that looked and felt disproportionate.Dr. Horton performed a thorough review of my case, patiently answered all of my questions, and worked together with me to choose the perfect size. When I removed my surgical bandages for the first time, I actually cried I was so happy. She nailed it. My results far exceed any expectations I had going into this. My new breasts are soft, look very natural and are perfectly proportioned. I seriously couldnt be happier and would recommend this surgeon to anyone seeking a natural-looking breast augmentation. Dr. Horton is a true artist!

Comment: I can only say Dr Horton completely changed my life. I had numerous unsuccessful surgeries before finally meeting Dr Horton. I was a 2 time cancer survivor and the radiation from my initial diagnosis had caused substantial damage and made reconstruction very difficult. I had unsuccessful breast reconstruction after my bilateral mastectomy at UCSF. She patiently talked to me about options and gave me the bad news that my body would need to heal for a year from the ongoing infection I had from my surgeries with my prior doctor. She told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. I had numerous stages to my reconstruction. Dr Horton and I talked about how there would be a number of steps needed, for my initial surgery with her I underwent a free flap surgery. She was with me every step of the way. She gave me her cell phone number and called me immediately if I texted or left a message. She was always there to assure me when I was concerned. I am sad to see the negative comments. I am confident that Dr Horton never told anyone that all they would need is one surgery. No doctor can guarantee results nor outcomes. Every person is different and their bodies respond differently. I had to have additional surgeries due to healing issues which had nothing to do with Dr Horton, it was my body responding and it was still struggling with the radiation after effects. I also had implants put in under the flaps in a secondary surgery due to issues with my breast bone. ( again my body issue, not Dr Horton) She gave me a makeover and I am so happy with the outcome. I look and feel better than I have in 20 years! I sent one of my best friends to Dr Horton when she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She loved Dr Horton and had the same amazing experience that I did. The preponderance of comments are positive and reflect who Dr Horton really is. I have, and will continue, to recommend her. She is truly the best.

They let me contact them any time of day post surgery to get any worries handled. I was also referred by them to Nurse Hope to pick me up and take me to my hotel room and care for me the day of surgery, and she was so kind and fantastic!All in all I would do it again. And would go to them for any other surgeries or needs!!

She was compassionate and understanding and truly wanted to do the best for me. Which she did. I would highly recommend her and her spa to anyone knowing only best services will be received. FYI - in my experience every woman needs a female plastic surgeon - they know the body, contours and can produce the best aesthetic results. Thank you so much!!

Comment: I went in to see Dr.Horton regarding my axillary area due to a long time insecurity regarding my baby fat in the crease of my arm pit. After having a child it only got worse. First meeting with Karen, she really took the time and energy into getting to know me and my body image issue. She was so genuine and showed legitimate interest in empowering me to love my body and having the freedom to elect modern ways to help reach my goals. I am almost 1 month healed from having liposuction on my axillary area and wow what a difference! I shop for clothes differently, I feel more confident in the things I wear and I really do feel different. I feel beautiful. I knew I was before going in for the procedure but now I feel unstoppable. Thank you Dr. Horton. For helping me change my life.

Comment: I believe Dr. Horton has created a masterpiece from the ruins of my breast post 2 lumpectomies, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The pain from the surgical operations was intense and Im just in my 4th week post operation recovery, but realistically I am looking forward to the finished product and full recovery by next year this time. Dr. Horton is a classy lady and has a disarming bedside manner. She can be yanking out drains or stitches and speaking in a very chipper voice about what to look forward to next week; therefore, I wasnt as anxious while she was doing these things. I fought hard to get approval for Dr. Horton to do my surgery since she was out-of-network. I am glad that I did and feel I was in the very best hands for this very complicated surgery.

Comment: As an older woman who is still dealing with the aftermath of a reconstructed breast after a mastectomy 12 years ago, it was so very, very comforting and empowering to meet a female doctor who is so totally pro- patient. I had a terrific experience with Dr. Horton and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone for any reason that is related to cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. Her team is amazing. The entire experience of meeting her, discussing my wish list and then experiencing it and it coming to fruition is beyond my expectations. This was a great experience and I am very thankful and grateful to have met such a supportive, creative, happy, team of professional medical providers. If you have any doubts, dont think twice. Just go for it!! You will be elated!

Comment: I experienced severe complications from treatments from my 2006 breast cancer. By 2013, my mammogram showed changes from the year prior. In working with a different medical center, there were four surgeries over the course of 2013-2014 . The damaged tissue resulted in squamous cell carcinoma on my chest wall which was removed, but the damaged tissue was still in place. I decided it was time for a second opinion. A friend told me about California Pacific Medical Center and I was fortunate to meet with Dr. Horton. From that first meeting I knew Id found the right doctor. Dr. Horton is extraordinary, caring, compassionate, and an extremely skilled surgeon. Dr. Horton and her team performed had a chest wall excision and reconstruction with a diep flap in June 2014. Dr. Horton was there for me in many ways at a very difficult time in my life. I feel like a new person and cant thank Dr. Horton enough.

Comment: Dr. Karen Horten is a great surgeon. She performed breast reconstruction DIEP flap. When I was recovering from surgery, the nurses all said that I had an amazing dream team and if they were ever in need of the same surgery they would definitely be using the same team. She is always cheerful and patient and tells you exactly what you need to know in order for you to make the most educated decision.

Comment: Dr. Karen Horton is absolutely amazing. She was able repair and fix a very painful and unsightly breast reconstruction preformed by another surgeon using a DIEP Flap. My results are amazing and her and her office staff have been available every step of the way, including a cell phone number I was able to use if needed during off hours. Her bedside manner has to be the best I have encountered and she always makes you feel wonderful. I can not say enough about her surgical abilities, her office staff. The wait has always been very minimal. If you are in need of an amazing surgeon to preform a breast reconstruction, I personally have met and visited with dozens along the way. My recommendation is to use Dr. Karen Horton. A refreshing change from the typical surgeon! Thank you Dr. Horton. I love my results!

Comment: Dr. Horton is so fantastic, as well as her whole office staff! I interviewed several surgeons and she was by far the best in her field! Dr.Horton has always made this experience a positive one and I appreciate that after a long year of breast cancer. She recently performed the DIEP flap surgery on me after I finished chemo, so this was the end for me. So many people keep telling me how amazing my breasts look. Dr. Horton is a gifted surgeon with such a warm-heart and fantastic bedside manner. I strongly recommend her to anyone!

Comment: After much research I chose Dr. Horton for my mastoplasty. I had met with and reference checked several Doctors, and not only did she come out on top, but the experience with her and her team was so warm and comforting right from the start and has continued through my post op. I am now 3 weeks post op, healing beautifully and delighted with my results. I could not recommend her more highly!
