I have been going to Dr. Jordan Horowitz since 1985. I used to work at Children's Hospital, now called CPMC. I asked the nurses on the OB floor which obstetrician/gynecologist they liked the best and his name came up repeatedly. That is why I chose him. He is very easy to talk to and as the previous reviewer said, loves to bring out pictures and diagrams to explain things, which I appreciate very much. He has a lot of patience and is happy to answer questions. I have had some surgery done by him also, and found him very gentle and caring. I have referred many friends to him over the past 23 years and everyone has been very happy with his care. Most recently my sister saw him, she has a very complicated medical history, and he has been so understanding with not only her physical problems, but the emotional issues she has from dealing with a terminal illness. He is the best and nicest physician I have ever had. read more

I came to Dr. Horowitz after my previous "female doctor" (Reuben Clay) retired. A bit scared about a new doc, Dr. Horowitz immediately put me at ease with the most comprehensive initial examination of my life and an easy-going yet professional demeanor. Not knowing if this was a one-time only occurrence, I held back on writing this review until I'd seen him more. Four visits later (including two yearlies) I still feel like I am in capable hands and am less afraid of going to the "female doctor." Thanks Dr. H.!!! read more

I love this doctor , he makes the consultation very easy and ansewer all questions and explain everything with lots of detail !

Dr. Jordan Horowitz is the most amazing doctor ever! He is patient, genuine, funny, and caring. He is my OB/GYN but he may as well be my GP because I always ask his opinion on any medical issues and also referrals for specialist. He took the best care of me me during my three pregnancies and delivered all three of my children. He is a true professional under pressure and you can tell he has the respect and trust of everyone who works with him, nurses and doctors. All three births were amazing experiences that both my husband and I feel we owe all the credit to him and his staff. We were prepared and well cared for. Following the births I continue to receive amazing care. You would be lucky to have him as your doctor! read more

I can honestly say that Dr. Horowitz is by far the best GYN/physician I've ever had. He truly cares about his patients and spends the time to talk through any health concerns. I've never had a doctor that actually cares enough to spend the time to explain things very clearly (especially for those not in the medical field to understand). He's an awesome teacher! In my past experiences, most doctors don't have time and I've felt rushed out of my appointments; that hasn't been the case with my visits with Dr. Horowitz. He's kind, caring, extremely personable and has a great sense of humor! Not only does Dr. Horowitz address women's health, he has been very helpful and open to discussing other health concerns. I feel lucky to have found such a great doctor! Without any hesitations, I highly recommend Dr. Horowitz if you are in search of an amazing doctor. read more

I am devastated by Dr Horowitz's retirement. I have seen him for the last 25 years. I'm trying to find a new gynecologist but no one will be as good as Jordan. read more

I have been going to Dr. Horowitz for over 35 years. He delivered both of my sons and I have to say he is the BEST doctor I've ever had. He keeps current with the latest treatments and medications, takes his time during your exam to explain what is happening to your body at every stage (pregnancy, perio menapause, and menopause) and explains all of your options thoroughly. He has an amazing bedside manner, is patient and understanding, and even during my deliveries was encouraging, respectful of my wishes and utterly there for me. I'm sorry to say I can no longer continue to see him as Sutter Health didn't renew their contract with Anthem Blue Cross this year, and now I have to find a new OBGYN. Thank you Dr. Horowitz. As soon as I can come back to your practice, I will! read more

Love this doctor - he is smart, listens and is funny. Nonjudgmental practice that cares about its patients. I have been going there for over 26 years and drive from San Mateo to SF. Says something about my confidence and trust in all the doctors and staff. Communication is great by phone or on line. read more

Dr. Horowitz (and he says you can call him Jordan), has delivered my 3 babies (and about to deliver my twins, which he specializes in), and my sisters' 4 babies. We both have absolutely loved having him as our Dr. I am living in the East Bay, and my sister in Marin, and we both still come to the City so that we can have him for our child's births and ongoing Gyn stuff. From the beginning, he has always been extremely patient and thorough (lots of diagrams!) when answering any questions I've had about first, birth control, then, what I needed to know about pregnancy and birth. He is quick witted and ready to make you feel at ease, but if anything may be going sideways, he gets his 'game face' on to tackle any potential issues. He was also Chief of Staff of CPMC for 3 years, and while there, made some significant changes, like implementing a process for a virtually pain-free circumcision for boys. He is also somewhat available - you don't need to wait a month to get an appt, and he is typically on time. He has started focusing more on the gynecological side now (not as much OB), and has a great staff around him, like John Fassett who is a Nurse/Midwife. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Dr. Horowitz is by far the best physician I've ever had and unfortunately I've had a few. I saw him on an emergency visit as a new patient where he carefully listened to my concerns and took the time to thoroughly explain my condition. He then advised on the best course of action, performed the procedure and checked on me the next day to make sure I was recovering nicely. I appreciate that there are still doctors out there who truly care about the quality of their work and their patients. read more

Dr. Horowitz is a stellar doctor. I recently relocated from Los Angeles to SF, and I was looking for a new GYN. He is thorough, he explains his rational for his approach with each thing he is doing, and he is patient. I tried a few birth control pills and a few methods for solving PMS symptoms. He has continued to work with me throughout the journey to find a solution that works. I have had several GYNs from Southern California to Northern California, and Dr. Horowitz is by far the best that I have had so far. I would recommend him without hesitation for anyone looking. read more

When I had originally seen Dr. Horowitz, he was incredibly friendly. He explained different hormonal options with incredible detail...it was almost too detailed since it seemed that he assumed I had no knowledge prior to going to him (even though I had already been using topical hormones). He literally must have spent a half hour talking about different options. He pushed me to use a higher dose of hormone than I'd been using and claimed it isn't absorbed systemically. He actually told me the 4mcg isn't effective and told me to use the 10mcg - and a cream - even though I had been having no problems with the 4 mcg. This seemed odd to me since prior ob/gyns told me to use the minimal amount possible. I knew better but listened to him. Well, I had my hormone levels checked recently (after over a year and not through Sutter) and my hormone levels were too high, which creates a higher risk of a number of cancers. I find it odd that doctors at Sutter assert that topical hormones don't substantially impact systemic hormones...and in the same breath tell you they never check hormone levels. If they never check hormone levels, how do they know it doesn't negatively impact hormone levels systemically? Clearly, they can. This seems like a dangerous practice on the part of Sutter Health...I hope they educate their ob/gyns so that they understand the impact of their decisions. What they may perceive as a low level and ineffective (possibly for some) may be effective for others. This doctor's assertions also seemed out of date because at the time, I had read scientific articles that showed that the topical hormones do impact systemic hormonal levels. I really hope that Sutter reads this feedback and does something to make sure that doctors are current and have the same knowledge - particularly with something that can increase a woman's risk of developing cancer. Even if an amount seems low in comparison to other available (eg, oral) options (as Dr. Horowitz emphasizes), this doesn't mean that they can't substantially impact a woman's health. read more

I've been a patient for years. Dr. Horowitz spends time answering questions, and explaining with a level of detail that makes me comfortable. His positive attitude and professional demeanor are why he's my favorite MD. Yes, he does draw helpful pictures, sometimes medical concepts are best expressed on paper! Office staff and nurses are good. Their professionalism, knowledge, and kindness are appreciated. This place is the best. read more

Jordan Horowitz delivered my daughter 24 years ago. He was my first gynecologist. I can not ever imagine ever leaving him. Not only is he a great physician, he is a fabulous teacher to his patients, using diagrams and metaphors to help explain things. Jordan also takes genuine interest in his patient's lives, and is very supportive of whatever life is bringing them. I never thought I could be comfortable with a male gynecologist, but he makes it so easy. What sets Jordan apart from other physicians is just that....he refers to himself as Jordan, not Dr. Horowitz. He treats you more like a friend rather than a patients. He offers his cell number and home number to his patients and actually answers your calls personally! What doctor does that nowadays??? In one word, Jordan Horowitz is what I call "unorthodox" in his field. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, yet at the same time, personal, silly, and willing to TAKE THE TIME to make sure that his patients completely understand their options. He is the true epitome of what a doctor should offer. If you are fortunate enough to receive Jordan as your doctor, consider yourself lucky! Thank you, Jordan Horowitz, for making all these years so comfortable and helpful! You are the best!l Lorene Wilk read more

Dr H is the best! I was extremely hesitant to see a male OB, but he gained my respect and trust instantly. 10 years and 2 kids later, I can't imagine seeing anyone else. read more

Dr. Horowitz is the most patient, enthusiastic, informative, and caring physician I have ever seen. When you're dealing with the topics you would see him for, that means everything in the world. What I appreciate most about Dr. H. is his ability to grasp immediately what it is you need to know about any questions you have and his delivery of information is impeccable. read more

Outstanding attentiveness! He spent an inordinate amount of time, inquiring in detail about my medical history, and then explaining in detail, drawing pictures and all, about medical conditions and how to evaluate and treat them. Don't look any further! This is the Dr. to you've been looking for! read more

Best dr. ever. On time, funny, caring, always refers great drs. wish the city was chalkful of his kind.

Dr. Horowitz has been my doctor for over 10 years. I should say "my families" doctor because he embraces not only you, but your friends and family. I believe he is the BEST of the BEST. Dr. Horowitz has the most amazing bedside manner, remembers everything and always takes the time to talk and walk you through your examination. Dr. Horowitz was there for my son's delivery. And, nine years later, when I needed "female issue" related surgery, Dr. Horowitz referred me to a the BEST surgeon. And, not only did he refer me .. but, he also assisted in the procedure. That was very comforting! Dr. Horowitz is truly an amazing doctor!! I am so lucky to be one of his patients. In fact, all my friends are his patients!! Everyone loves him!!! read more

Dr. Horowitz is amazing! I was visiting SF for a few months and needed a follow up pap smear. He spent as much time with me as my regular doctors when this was only a one time visit. He was beyond thorough and totally put me at ease, fully educating me on the situation. He personally called to go over the results, again spending a lot of time with me so that I had no questions. I would highly, highly recommend him. The office was also quite polite and helpful. I give him 5 stars without a doubt! read more

Dr. Horowitz (and John Fassett) provide the best possible OB experience one can have in San Francisco. I first saw Dr. Horowitz when I became pregnant with my first child. Having gotten pregnant more quickly than expected (to say the least), I had not done any research on OB's, but knew I wanted someone who was comfortable working with pregnant athletes. Turns out Dr. H delivers all the runner babies in town, and he was great! I had two healthy, full-term pregnancies, ran all the way through both of them, delivered healthy baby boys with no complications, and recovered quickly. I enjoyed my appointments tremendously - sure, we talked pregnancy, but also baseball, politics, Marin County, etc. Dr. H also did a great job of making my husband comfortable, and answered his questions with just as much concern and thoroughness as my questions. The only bad thing is we're done having babies so I only get to see Jordan once a year! read more
