Karen M. Horton, MD

I am so thankful to have found Dr. Karen Horton and her team. An excellent surgeon, her compassion along with her lovely and lively spirit, shine as soon as she walks in. She immediately puts you at ease, answering all questions and explaining everything in great detail. Dr. Horton is a beautiful soul inside and out and she gave me hope when I thought I had none. I am beyond pleased with her work! My breasts are beautiful and my experience was awesome!

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! 💗

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.

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 I'd had a bad experience with my previous surgeon who didn't 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 couldn't be happier and would recommend this surgeon to anyone seeking a natural-looking breast augmentation. Dr. Horton is a true artist!

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.
