Anna van der Horst, MD

Specialty

Surgical Treatment Specializing in Trauma

I have always gravitated towards science and helping people. Orthopedics became a natural “no-brainer” in medical school to combine my interests. I love working with my hands and helping people live a better life.

As an active member of the Orthopaedic Trauma Association, the Ruth Jackson Orthopedic Society, and Pride Ortho, I like being there for people as their physician when they are at their lowest moments, and help them overcome their injuries and enjoy life again.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outside with my family mountain biking, trail running, surfing, snowboarding, and skate skiing.
