Paul Norwood, MD

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.

Dr. Norwood is, in my opinion, the rudest most unprofessional doctor I have ever encountered. If it was up to me, Dr. Norwood would not be practicing medicine.

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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!

***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.

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.

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!
