OUR PROVIDERS

Dr. Horton received a Doctor of Osteopathy degree and started his career in 1995 with an internship at Genesys Regional Medical Center in Flint, Michigan. His residency followed in 1997, gaining experience and skills at Millcreek Community Hospital in Erie, Pennsylvania. Then, in 2001, Dr. Horton brought his expertise to Hastings, Michigan, and began performing surgery at Hastings Orthopedic Clinic, where he continued to treat patients until joining forces with his colleague, Dr. Heeringa.

Dr. Horton decided to return to private practice because it allowed him to be more patient-focused and more efficient at helping his patients return to healthy, active lives.

He always puts his patients first, and finds it extremely gratifying to treat musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, then witness patients’ satisfaction with outcomes as they get back to doing the things they love.

His devotion to his patients and career is embodied by his affiliations, serving as Staff Physician at Pennock Hospital in Hastings, as well as  Courtesy Staff Physician at both Allegan General Hospital in Allegan, Michigan, and Ionia County Memorial Hospital in Ionia, Michigan.

Dr. Horton is also board-certified and an active member of the American Osteopathic Association, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, and Michigan Orthopedic Society.

Experienced in a wide array of general orthopedics, he treats such conditions as rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, achilles injuries, trigger fingers, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

His specialties include arthroscopic shoulder and knee procedures, chronic tendon care, and total knee replacements utilizing TRUMATCH DePuy technology.

Dr. Rentfrow began his career as a licensed physical therapist after graduating from Grand Valley State in 1996. Dr. Rentfrow spent 4 years learning the McKenzie mechanical methods for treating back pain after physical therapy school. He still employs these principles when guiding patients today. After becoming a hospital rehab department manager as well as treating a full-time caseload of patients, he felt his autonomy over his patients was lacking and returned to medical school.

Dr. Rentfrow attended The Kansas City University of Medicine and graduated in 2006. He was accepted for an internship and orthopedic residency at Mt Clemens General Hospital (now McLaren Macomb). He completed an ACGME spine fellowship at St Joseph Medical Center Ann Arbor in 2012. He began his career at Detroit Medical Center (Detroit Receiving) in 2012. Preferring the autonomy of private practice, he joined The Center for Orthopedic Surgery and again began working out of McLaren Macomb.

After a personal illness forced him to close his private practice, he joined Carilion Clinic in southwest Virginia in 2019. Again, the lure of private practice was strong for Dr. Rentfrow, and he began looking for another private group where hear grew up in West Michigan. Dr. Heeringa and Dr. Rentfrow were resident classmates and the idea of joining Dr. Heeringa and Dr. Horton eventually materialized.

Dr. Rentfrow completed over 500 procedures during 330 cases at St Joseph Mercy Hospital Ann Arbor as a Spine fellow with an emphasis on minimally invasive, trauma, and deformity. Dr. Rentfrow can safely instrument hardware from C3 to the pelvis. Given his physical therapy background, surgery only occurs as the last option for his patients.

Dr. Rentfrow has served as faculty at Wayne State School of Medicine, Michigan State University, the Virginia Tech Medical School at Carilion in Roanoke, VA, and the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine in Blacksburg, VA.
