Dr. Norwood is very rude. I took my mom for a visit and he gave me some free advice on my health, which was a little out of place. I'm glad my mom switched doctors. read more

I went to Dr.Norwood as a teenager for Diabetes care. He was by far, the most unprofessional healthcare professional I've ever seen. Even as a teenager I knew he was unprofessional. During one of my check ups, he commented on a previous patient's penis size and weight. And he was sort of like, trying to joke around with me about how fat his last patient was, and how small his penis was that it was barely visible. Again, even as a teenager I was thinking, "uhhhhh a doctor shouldn't be telling me this..." Also, at the end of a routine check up, I had mentioned that on the drive down, there was a police chase on the highway. Now, a normal doctor would be like "oh cool" or something and move on to the doctor-ing. Dr.Norwood proceeded to pull up a police shooting video on his computer, and I spent the next couple of minutes watching a video of a cop chasing a guy, and shooting through his window towards the dude. Granted, it was a cool video. Not gonna lie. But it goes without saying that a doctor should not be showcasing irrelevant internet videos during appointments, and ones that include shootings at that, lol. It was such a bizarre experience! It stuck with me vividly for years. Not in like, an "awful experience" kind of way, more like a "wtf was all that about I thought I was going to the doctor for a check up." When you're waiting in his office, he may be showing a patient a cool shooting video. Or, making fun of you after you leave. Who knows! Granted, it seems that he's treated ~most~ of his patients better than he did me, based on the reviews. So as much I would like to give him 1 star, he did ~okay~ by me, healthcare wise. But heads up, you or your child could absolutely be subject to his unprofessionalism. read more

Let me save you some time if you are experiencing what I was when I went to see Dr. Norwood. If you are wondering if your weight loss journey is being stunted by hormonal issues, it's not. The problem is you suck. That's what I was basically told. You can't lose the weight yourself, nobody has the willpower to diet and even if you do achieve some kind of weight loss, it will fail. So, have a life altering, expensive surgery because you suck. I saw this doctor about 6 months ago and I was so offended by his point of view that I became motivated to prove him wrong. So, without having gastric bypass I've lost 30 pounds. If, on the other hand, his plan was to employ some kind of twisted reverse psychology, congratulations it worked! read more

Dr Norwood had improved my life so much with his quality care. He listened to my questions, provided me excellent options. I'm so very thankful that I found this office and met Dr Norwood. I have referred friends to this office and they have been just as impressed as I was. read more

I have been meaning to write this review for a while! Last year one of my sons had a relapse of a health condition that left him severely incapacitated. For reasons too long to go into, we couldn't get care locally. We heard of Dr. Norwood through an online referral and were very grateful for the introduction. Dr. Norwood has tons of experience, takes the time to listen to you, and goes out of his way to help, even being available off hours and while on vacation. Dr. Norwood isn't your typical doctor, he doesn't rush you, is very outspoken and will even crack an occasional joke. I find it hard to speak highly enough of Dr. Norwood, he was such a help to our family; with his help, my son got the medication he needed that other doctors were slow to prescribe. We were so lucky to find Dr. Norwood and are extremely grateful for his professionalism, caring, help and advice. Thank you, Dr. Norwood! read more

I saw Dr. Norwood a few years ago to ask if a lack of sleep from a newborn baby would potentially affect my thyroid levels (I have hypothyroidism). When I went to Dr. Norwood, his assistant asked me the normal questions and filled out a chart. When the doctor came in, he ignored me and asked his assistant three questions, then turned to me and told me I had depression and should start medication right away. He made no attempt to even ask me anything or to talk to me. He said that I was tired and lethargic, and it was due to depression. He would not listen to the fact that my primary care physician had diagnosed me with hypothyroidism years earlier, or that I was tired because I had a newborn baby, and he kept calling me sweetheart. I was extremely uncomfortable and ended the consultation right away, which I had never done before. He was hands down the most unprofessional doctor I have ever met. I left a negative review on a different website at the time, but it was deleted. read more

***WARNING*** Profanity as said by Paul Norwood. So, here goes how Paul Norwood treated my husband. {Can't even call him a doctor} My husband has a cancerous thyroid tumor. When Paul Norwood went to aspirate it, my husband flinched; his response was "don't be such a p***y." My husband just kind of brushed it off. Norwood then asks if he has any grandchildren. My husband proudly said that we have a newborn grandson that has Down syndrome. (Our daughter was told she'd never have children.) Norwood's exact words were "why didn't she abort. those people don't contribute anything to society." We were/are shocked that a doctor would say that!!! Don't know why we were surprised, though, because he was caught in the middle of having sex with a pharmaceutical rep on one of his exam tables with his wife in the other room! eeewwww! He's still in practice and she lost her job. Sure will not be going back to see him with that kind of ethics and morals. read more

Dr. Norwood is awesome! I saw him today for the first time and he was unlike any doctor I've ever seen - he took his time, didn't make me feel like I was being rushed, took care of every single concern of mine, made jokes, he was understanding, and made me feel like I was in good hands and that everything would be taken care of. He's well known in the community for a reason. If you're having any endocrine issues, Dr. Norwood is the man to see. I've never been excited to see a doctor but I can't wait for our next appointment to see all the progress. Thank you Doc for being one of a kind!! read more

My wife has been seeing Dr. Norwood for approx 1 year. He is amazing at how he is helping her. He gets input from her on how to proceed with treatment and actually listens to us when we ask questions or recommend something we may heard about her condition. He really listens to the patients concerns. We are so grateful for his service in helping with my wife's condition. Will recommend him to anyone going through the same thing (or something else of course) so that they may get the right treatment. He came highly recommended from another doctor she was seeing. He was wrong at all! read more

Dr. Norwood is an absolute pleasure to work with. He takes the time to listen. Even in the middle of a pandemic, his staff does an amazing job. They are really good with working with your insurance company to get approvals even in the hardest situations. My wife and I have been going there for the last 10 years. Very clean and professional too!! read more

I truly appreciate Dr. Norwood, the true concern he has for my wife is refreshing. Outspoken, yes, but so it my wife. He speaks the truth and truly cares about my wife's health and welfare. Norwood is very proactive and is willing to go the distance to help you achieve your health care goals. Thank you again, my mom also speaks highly of you! read more

Dr. Norwood saved my life..I have Hashimoto's thyroid disease that I have been battling for 29 years. In that time I have seen many endocrinologist's, not one being able to help me. I was referred to Dr. Norwood by my doctor who told me, that he could not help me anymore. Dr. Norwood is a caring and compassionate man who took me on and really listened to my concerns. After taking his expert advice, I am feeling better than ever. I know I'm great hands with Dr. Norwood and his exceptional staff. read more

After reading some reviews online about how he likes to diagnose people with depression, and likes to dope them up on anti-depressants and Ritalin, I decided to give him a shot anyways. I should've listened. I told the np my issues with my thyroid. I know about my condition since I've dealt with it for over 20 years. Low and behold, the doc comes in and diagnoses me with depression. Prescribes 3 meds....one of which is Ritalin. Says the symptoms I have are not related to thyroid nodules. I guess the Mayo Clinic doesn't know what they are talking about. Neither do the thousands of people with thyroid cancer. He never once looked at my neck or felt my thyroid. Definitely getting a second opinion. The office staff, Lalita, was fantastic. read more

The wait time to see the NP NOT even the doctor is hidious!! I have almost 2 hours! This is a doctors office not a hospital. Train your schedules better!! People should not have wait this long. Especially when people bring their dogs in that are NOT working/certified dogs and others (me) are allergic!!! read more

1st time going here and NEVER GOING BACK!!...Nurse & Doctor didn't care..They did not look into my medical history....He just wants prescribe antidepression pills. After reading his reviews it's true...He just wants to push antidepression pills on people.. read more

Dr. Norwood correctly diagnosed and corrected my thyroid issue. I like that he is forthright about a patient's weight in a way that does motivate you to lose weight. I don't like that he is kind of creepy and doesn't understand or sympathize with people who are not financially well off. He seems to have a stereotypical conservative rich-guy attitude--he's a bit like the Monty Burns of endocrinology. read more

I was referred to Dr. Norwood by my primary care physician and saw him for my first appointment a couple weeks ago. I hesitated to post this review, because I almost never post negative reviews. Dr. Norwood was extremely condescending and insensitive when discussing my family's medical background and his recommendations for me. He actually had me in tears. I also felt that he was very pushy in his pharmaceutical recommendations. I will never return to his practice. read more

Zero stars more appropriate. He is a drug pusher. He just wants to put everyone on Anti-depressants. I've heard this from 10 people so far. My personal experience validates this. I went in for my endocrine system because that is what I was sent there to be evaluated for. I brought him positive labs for what was wrong with me. He said I was cured of a disease that has no cure. He offered me ritalin saying I just need to get out of bed and be productive and then wrote a prescription for 3 Anti-depressants. I wasn't there for depression and I wasn't depressed. He didn't even do my blood work to find out why I was having issues. 1 year later I'm being evaluated by a real doctor who actually does blood work instead of pushing drugs. He should lose his license. I actually have diabetes Insipidis whixh I could have addressed long ago if he had done his job. read more

I have been going to Dr. Norwood, for over 13 years. I have 32 Nodules on my thyroid....He is so good with putting the needle in my neck to take samples to make sure that their non-cancerous ,gives me something to calm me down .....he is the only one that I will ever trust to do this.... he is definitely an awesome doctor ..... read more

Amazing! The staff are really nice and actually listen and care about their patient's wellbeing. Lalita at the front desk was so helpful getting me started as a new patient, she rocks! After talking to the NP and then Dr.Norwood I just feel better about life. They both listened to me and helped me understand my situation. They were blunt and to the point, my kind of Doctor! read more

Dr. Norwood and his staff are extremely friendly and helpful! He helped answer all of my questions and ease my mind about my health issues. I've been to 5 doctors and now my face is as clear as can be and only Dr. Norwood has been able to treat this. Most doctors do not understand how serious an acne problem is and how it can really affect one's self confidence. Dr. Norwood has been the only doctor who listened to me and prescribed me medication that cleared my face, brought back my confidence, and I now feel like I do not need to cake on make up to cover up my acne. Thank you so much Dr. Norwood! read more

So frustrating. Scheduled an appointment for 2:30. I get a call early, asking me to come in for a 9:45 appointment because no on was showing up. I arrive at 9:40. It is 11:00am NOW and STILL haven't been seen. Ridiculous. Scheduling is horrendous. read more

Referred to this guy for my thyroid and within 2 min of taking to him he prescribed me two different antidepressants and one Ritalin telling me I was depressed. I stated nothing remotely near depressive behavior besides being tired hence the thyroid. His diagnosis wasn't implausible it was how quick he came to it and how adamant he was about it that drew red flags even though I didn't agree with the diagnosis. My guess is some pharmaceutical companies have him in their pocket. Be cautious people. read more

There is definitely something wrong with this Doctor. Everything from joking about shooting his wife in the head to diagnosing me with depression after being referred to him for a nodule on my thyroid. His diagnosis was based on my own admission of irritability, when suddenly he blamed my fathers smoking, for my depression. I explained to him my Father has been deceased for over 25 years and had not smoked for over 20 years prior to his death. I stated I did not agree with his diagnosis, his response was "there is nothing you can do about it" "one out of even ten people have depression" Once I became angry and explained to him that I had come to his office for my thyroid and nothing else he left the room explaining he would biopsy my nodule. I took the opportunity to leave the office and will never return. You decide!! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Norwood and his staff. They ladies at the front are always good about getting back to me, and are on top of their game, which unfortunately, is a rarity. Dr. Norwood has been so helpful and has worked tireless with me on my Thyroid and Migraine issues. He's always there to listen and never hesitates to find an answer or to help. I feel very blessed to have him on my side. Cheers to Dr. Norwood and staff!!!! read more

If I could, I would give this doctor zero stars. I went in for my first appointment suspecting thyroid issues. I was told that my labs were okay, but my bilirubin was high, but it's okay because I could possibly be French, his words. Apparently if you are French this is common, which I have no clue if I am French. He went on and was mocking me because I chose to wait until marriage. Then, to make matters worse, he continued to tell me that I had mild depression and I needed to be put on 3 different medications, Ritalin, Prozac, and Wellbutrin. After he had prescribed me these meds, I asked if it would interfere with other medications I am taking. Come to find out, the medications would have made my symptoms that I'm currently having worse, such as heart palpitations, which was in my chart. He spent about 20 minutes with me and lectured me on how I should "live a little" and stop being so serious about life. Not to mention, Dr. Norwood asked my mom, who isn't a patient of his, about her health issues and told her she was mildly depressed as well. I am now looking for a new doctor because I'm 100% sure I'm not anywhere on the spectrum of depressed, nor is my mother. Update: I had gone to a few more doctors and the problems that I were having were being caused by a medication that I was on for my hormones. The medication was mimicking a thyroid and a liver problem. I was nowhere on the spectrum of depressed and the medications Norwood was going to put me on was going to make my symptoms much worse. read more

I'm very happy with Dr Paul. He listens and understands where I'm coming from. He gets me scheduled quick. every visit has been a great experience. read more

Dr. Norwood really cares about his patients! I think he's the only remaining doctor who actually sits and listens to his patients.

Worst doctor I ever went to see if I could give him Less than one star I would he is extremely arrogant. I went in at 1230pm didnt see him till 3pm. Then all he did was make inappropriate remarks about my weight. And then criticized me for being poor. All this and no question about why I was there. When I snapped back he said I could leave any time he didnt care. So either you sit there and be humiliated, or defend yourself and get told to leave. If you have to see this dr. I suggest you find another one, unless you like and want to be degraded and put down. read more

Dr Norwood is a kind and compassionate man. He has helped me with managing my weight and other medical issues in a supportive and conscientious manner. He takes time to provide the necessary education in order to enhance compliance with the medication regimen. I am very grateful for the care received. read more

I have been seeing Dr.Norwood for 3 years now. He listens to all your concerns and answers any questions without making you feel rushed or like he doesn't have time. The staff up front are very courteous and fast at getting you in. I highly recommend! read more

I have been seeing Dr Norwood 4 more than 15 years. When I came down with adult onset diabetes I was given lots of medicines and solutions that never treated my problems from other doctors. I had no Health Care and I entered a study program through his office and learned a phenomenal amount of my disease through his office and his team. His work and his team have changed my life. I have been put on the right medications at just the right time and my hemoglobin A1c is like I am pre-diabetic all over again. Thank God. The creativity and ideas in this office are outside of the box. They are generous and when my healthcare does not cover my needs their office always steps up and helps me and many times for free. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Norwood and his team. They have changed my life and their generosity has made me a loyal and lifetime customer even when my Healthcare is cheap and ObamaCare ruined everything dr. Norwood kept me going. read more

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Norwood. His help and insight have provided me exactly what was needed to improve the quality of my life. It is evident that he and his staff sincerely care for their patients. Thank you for providing excellent care! read more

I wish I could give zero stars. I took my 19 year old daughter to see Dr Norwood for possible thyroid problems. I wish I had checked the reviews prior to making the appointment. We met with the NP and went over some of my daughters symptoms. Dr Norwood then came in and asked her some questions and then asked me questions about my own health. He never examined my daughter and told us that we both suffered from depression. He prescribed her Aderall, Prozac and Wellbutrin. My husband and I own a successful company and my daughter is skipping her sophomore year of college because she is so far ahead. No one in our family suffers from depression or any other mental illness. Depression also doesn't explain cysts on her ovaries, hormonal imbalance, chronic migraines, heart palpitations, always being cold, and extreme fatigue. We are in the process of finding a new doctor. read more

After running my diabetes into the ground and disregarding all of my wife and most importantly dr Norwood's professional work and care I was tethering on an 11.3 a1c and sure failure of my internal organs and a certain short lived life of arrogance when dealing with my diabetes. Long and short is this. Dr Norwood has given me a new lease on life thru a very easy prescription of shut up and listen. Follow the rules. Test five times a day at least. Use my Dexcom monitor. Exercise and stop eating toxic sugary foods and be amazed at what can happen. It is with this that once again I thank dr Paul Norwood for shaking me to the core and showing me that diabetes can be managed and with help and medicines life can still be fun and my love of food as a chef of 32 years can still keep me loving and learning daily. He and his staff are an amazingly great group of folks who care and damnit that is rare these days. Over ten years of disregarding and being angry about diabetes has turned in to a few solid months of drastic fun change of attitude and medical miracles. Thanks doc from the bottom of my strong heart lol. Always five star for me. Always. read more
