Dr. Karen HortonMD, MSc, FRCSC

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 it has been many months and my lip is still dropping and numb. 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. I questioned the placement of the incisions on my cheek instead of behind my ears and under my chin so they would not be visible. I wish I would have never had any procedures done by Dr.Horton as this has caused me much stress and embarrassment due to how my face looks.

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 I'm a very careful person, and she always responded with clear answers almost immediately. It's 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.

I went to see Dr Horton for a breast reduction consultation. I asked her up front not to say anything negative about my body. During the examination, she provided unsolicited advice on a scar on my stomach, saying liposuction would flatten it out and that it was stretched. Having just had a baby, I was already aware of that. She was also 30 minutes late and then left for 15 mins part way through to see another patient. After the consultation, I emailed feedback. Dr Horton's assistant, Mary, apologized and Dr Horton accidentally cc'd me on her reply to her assistant saying "I think that's perfect, she was so weird" about me. This shows a deep lack of professionalism and real lack of compassion for the vulnerability it takes to walk through the door. I would strongly recommend finding a different surgeon.

Dr. Horton is amazing. I have seen her twice now, and she is not only knowledgeable and talented, but her bedside manner and compassion are the real reasons anyone would be remiss not to see her. Her staff is incredible, friendly and reassuring (waving at you Nurse Mary!), and Dr. Horton is a true artist. Thank you.

I would recommend Dr. Horton in a heart beat. If you have high expectations and need a caring hand to get you there, Dr. Horton is your person! I came to Dr. Horton about two years ago, after being the unfortunate victim of paradoxical hyperplasia from CoolSculpting (from another doctor). Dr. Horton was approachable, and took time to understand my concerns. I felt heard and she took great care of me, not only prior to my corrective procedure but also after. We had several follow-ups and it was easy to reach out to her whenever I had questions or simply needed some reassurance. After my corrective procedure, there were still some contour irregularities and Dr. Horton was kind enough to perform a touch-up free of cost! I am happy with my results now and how everything turned out. I feel lucky to have found her!
