Provider did not perform the main reason- annual mole check I was at appointment which is asked on the pre check in and at the time of appointment. Asked me to make another appointment for the medical service. I was not happy with this since appointments are far out and I live a distance from this facility.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/20/2026
Dr. Horton is so, so kind. She takes her time to listen. She ALWAYS asks "do you have more questions for me?" She never rushes the appointment. She lets me talk and explain my concerns. I wish all doctors were like her. It just made me feel empowered as a patient.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/17/2026
Even though the PA gave me fast explanations about my issues I presented with and treatment plans, I was unable to grasp it all! This was new to me, had lots of questions, to which I was being given answers that required major life changes, long term serious actions with lasting consequences! Definitely needed little more patience and detailed discussions of options so that I could make an informed decision about my care!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/14/2026
PA Horton was easy to understand and explained things as we progressed through the appointment. She listened to me and was gentle.

I appreciate her taking the time to coordinate my medical care with my travel plans. She also got a second opinion to determine the best treatment
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/22/2025
I liked her a lot. The last dermatologist MD I had, I did not like him at all. When I was concerned about an irregularity I had, she fixed right away. When I brought that irregularity up to the last Doctor, he suggested that I go to a doctor friend oh his outside of Emory to get it fixed instead of him doing it himself while I was right there!! It was a simple fix with a little liquid nitrogen. So she was a great breath of fresh air compared to the last doctor.

Takeia Norton provided a follow up to a scalp melanoma removal. She identified certain other abnormalities and took some skin samples for biopsy. She then contacted me with the results which will require further treatment. She is at the top of her PA game as well as her nurse assistant. I trust her with my skin issues and her diligence will probably catch further skin issues in the future. Takeia should be the template for other Emory PA's.
