T Horton is a great provider she informed me and included me in decision making. I think she is the best dermatologist I have ever seen
She was very understanding and very easy to talk to.
My care provider is the best. She is very patient caring and concerned with my treatment. She is just a happy nice person that cares and smiles.
Takeia Horton is EXCELLENT!!!
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.
Tameka is wonderful. She explained options, gave her recommendation and let me decide on our course of action.
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.
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!
PA Horton was easy to understand and explained things as we progressed through the appointment. She listened to me and was gentle.

Takeia was great. Informative, patient and thorough . I am very pleased with my visit with her
Really helpful, clear, and thoughtful
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
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.
I left with a smile. Nice to be treated by a professional who cares.
Ms. Horton is very attentive, informative and friendly. She is a good listener and I will recommend her to anyone who needs dermatology care.
This is my second visit this year and I'm blown away by the empathy, care and kindness shown by Takeia
Great explanations of the process and what to expect
She was very caring and thorough during the whole visit. She listened to my concerns and explained what was going on in each step of the appointment.

I realized after I left, Takie had not looked in between my toes and wasn't as thorough on my scalp as previous PA. But she answered all my questions and asked several times if I had any other questions (I had made a note in my phone of all my questions).
She listened to my concerns and addressed them all.
Dr. Horton is easily the best dermatologist I've ever seen. Professional, thorough, and reassuring with tons of personality! A++++++++
Takeia addressed all my concerns and we developed a course of treatment together.
Personable; answered all questions; addressed concerns; knowledgeable; made sure I understood instructions; gave a personal example I could follow in my own care. I really appreciated her.
She gave recommendations for different things
Takei's exam was very thorough and she explained everything in an easy to understand manner. There was one area that she felt that the physician should look at, which I greatly appreciate. Takei advised me to notify her in a week if I have not been contacted to schedule an appointment with Dr. Blalock.
Extremely helpful, kind, and professional. I am so very appreciative! Thank you so much!
Dr. Even send more informations at night regarding certain problems.
Very good

Very pleased with involvement.
Good follow up on Mychart
I have worked at Emory University for 25 years. This was one of the BEST appointments that I've had. PA Horton had an ease about her that made me very comfortable. She answered my questions in a way that I understood. I felt no tension or anxiety during this visit. She was phenomenal!
Dr Horton checked all over, very thorough and explained exactly what needs attention. Highly recommend!
She was very knowledgeable and professional.
Excellent service from beginning to end
Very thorough and helpful when asking my many questions about general skin/derm health. Also went out of her way to examine and prescribe for a recent wound I'd gotten, not related to the skin check. I really appreciated that!
Screening for skin cancer and pre-cancer spots was the most thorough I have ever had in the 3 decades I have noticed these spots.
Certain to recommend PA Horton.
I have already recommended her to some of my friends
Very good
Excellent care
I am so pleased with my experience! Thank you for your kindness and thorough exam!
She took very good care of meThank you
Dr. Horton is so kind. She makes the visits light-hearted while addressing my concerns. I love that she ends each visit by asking "What questions do you have for me?" That makes me feel empowered to advocate for myself or to get clarity if I'm confused.
Out of all the treatment I have received at Emory since 2019, this PA was the best that I've had to address my condition. She was extremely attentive and knowledgeable in addressing my condition.
Amazing provider. When I scheduled my follow-up I was sure to clarify that I wanted my same provider again. She clearly explained everything and gave me options on removal vs waiting a few months to see if there are changes.
Takeia Horton is good!
She is Awesome!
She was very good.
Good
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.
She has been very helpful by Portal, too.
First time with this provider. She was great! Professional.
I felt heard and left feeling more knowledgeable about what was going on with my body :)
