After going to Dr. Scumpia for my hypothyroidism for more than a year and not feeling any better, I asked my OB/GYN for a recommendation and she recommended Dr. Horvit. Dr. Horvit changed the dose of my thyroid medicine, and I felt so much better. I also like that she has a very small practice and I have never waited more than 10 minutes in the waiting room (and that was usually because I arrived early). And unlike at Dr. Scumpia's office, you always see the actual doctor, not a nurse or physician's assistant. Yes, Dr. Horvit tells it like it is -- if you need to lose weight, she's not going to mince words. But after going to so many doctors who will just prescribe medicines and not tell me the weight is a problem, I prefer to hear the truth. Sometimes it is difficult to get an appointment when you want it because they are not growing the practice, but I prefer that to them hiring a bunch of physician's assistants and never seeing the actual doctor.
Pros: Great doctor, always on time, great office staff
Cons: She is honest and won't sugar-coat it if she tells you that you need to go on a diet, etc.
