Andrew R. Hordes

I would like to thank Dr. Hordes for taking care of my husband this past weekend. His consultation was extremely helpful and his diagnosis was priceless. Everyone at Watauga Medical center displayed the utmost professionalism, combined with courtesy, kindness and a sense of humor.Ariel and Silvia Chudnovsky

Both of my elderly parents are patients of Dr. Hordes, and in all office encounters his interactions are top-notch. He is a compassionate and skilled physician who is patient and kind and an expert listener.

As a former nurse, I am very selective about the physicians treating my family. Dr Hordes gained my respect by first walking into the room and extending his hand to shake with first my husband, the patient, and then myself. He gained my trust through his calm demeanor, pensive consideration of the issues, realistic treatment plan and attention to detail. I cannot recommend him highly enough and have the highest confididence in his ability.

Dr. Hordes is an excellant cartiologist. I have a real bad case on white coat fear. Dr. Hordes was very patient and took his time in talking with me and calming me down. He was very thorough in checking checking me out, testing and explaining everything. When he was sure I was okay he there was no need for me to come back ti him uless I had other issues and to just keep seeing my regular doctor. I have heard so many nice things about Dr. Hordes. I highly recommend him.

He took his time and explained my condition very clearly

Dr. Hordes see my husband and me for A-Fib problems. He is so thorough and takes the time to really go over your chart and questions. We have been to three different big medical centers and prefer the care we get here in Boone. It is more personal, and after two years of several procedures for my husband, we feel that his care here is just as good...or better. We are grateful that Dr. Hordes landed in the pretty mountains of Boone.

I have called this office many times over several days. The triage nurse promises a return call but it never happens. Their medical records department does not answer calls. I am a Doctor myself and can not comprehend how any medical office can operate like this one. If I ran my office like that I would have to close for lack of patients.
