John Horton, MD, grew up in Louisiana and completed his education at LSU, with advanced training at the University of Kentucky and Emory University. Dr. Horton cares for healthy pregnant patients seeking patient‑centered obstetric care, as well as individuals coming in for routine annual well‑person exams. He also works closely with pregnant patients who have complex medical histories, helping coordinate multidisciplinary care to ensure safe, comprehensive support throughout pregnancy. In addition to office‑based care, Dr. Horton performs gynecologic surgery, including procedures to evaluate and manage abnormal uterine bleeding. He emphasizes a balanced approach, offering both medical and surgical options so patients can choose care that best fits their needs and lives.
As Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs for the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Dr. Horton is committed to creating a cohesive experience across all practice sites. His goal is to ensure care is respectful, individualized, and seamlessly coordinated through a unified medical record and treatment system. Whether supporting a birth at one of our maternity centers or planning robotic surgery, Dr. Horton and the care team prioritize clear communication and compassionate, coordinated care.
Raised in a farming community of just 2,000 people, Dr. Horton values connection, community, and knowing his neighbors. That sense of community, combined with a love for city life, led him to Atlanta, where he lives in Midtown with his partner and enjoys the city’s parks, culture, and vibrant activities.
