We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Excellent results from my hip replacement!
VERY quick in and out for follow up appointments. Very good bedside manner. Friendly and efficient office staff. Very close proximity to my home for appointments. NEVER feel rushed or that my questions or concerns are silly.

Full Right Hip Replacement - January 2023

Upon the recommendation from several people I checked out Dr. Norwood. I am very happy I took their advice. I was in need of a hip reconstruction , the third procedure on the same hip. The cup was split in two and there were metal shavings and residue in the socket. The operation was rather intensive and needed bone grafting. I was unable to walk on that leg for over a month which was very aggravating because I need a shoulder replacement also. Dr. Norwood was very thorough, patient and understanding. I felt very safe under his care and highly recommend him to anyone in need of any hip procedures. It is one year since the procedure and I am very happy to have had the pleasure of his excellent services.

Totally Unprofessional
After being called in early I had to wait over 40 min for the doctor. I was understandably upset and the way the doctor handled it was totally unprofessional! He walked in and was upset also! He should have been more calm and deal with the situation. Apparently he was having a bad day and I suffered! After the second time he said I could leave, I went to and fell on the floor because my feet had fallen asleep. He just stood there staring at me on the floor and did not show any concern and did not offer to help me up. I finally got up and left after one of the worst contacts with a "professional"

Hip replacement
Dr Norwood did a full hip replacement for me. He and his team were great to work with. The recovery was quicker than a previous replacement of my other hip. I experienced almost no pain and am now able to comfortably walk, hike, work in the yard. For anyone who needs a hip replacement, I highly recommend Dr Norwood.

Dr. Norwood was on call when our family had the worst day of our lives. Our 6 year old had been in an ATV accident and was flown via helicopter to The Flagstaff Medical Center. His femur had been broken and one of the sharp ends of his bone had sliced open the back of his leg. Dr. Norwood was very empathetic and helped to put us at ease. We were updated during our son’s surgery. He called us when he was done and gave us the details of the surgery. He made himself available if we had questions once we were sent home. We live in the Phoenix area but we continued to make the long drive to Flagstaff to continue our care with Dr. Norwood. He took great care of our son and made us feel as if he was treating one of his own family members. We would recommend Dr. Norwood to anyone seeking a good orthopedic surgeon. We trust him. Our son is all healed up now, one year later. We feel like we hit the jackpot having had Dr. Norwood be the doctor who came in that day.

I'm overweight and was in constant chronic pain. I was using a walker or wheelchair and my life was so limiting. He took one look at my xrays and agreed to do my hip replacement. It was the best experience from my first visit with him thru my one year checkup. He was one of my biggest cheerleaders and provided professional and helpful guidance. I had a custom tshirt made with "Norwood's Bionic Hip Club" emblazoned in purple glitter that I where all the time. The minute he gave me the clearance to travel, I took off to make up for the years I was so limited! I went on two to four trips a month for an entire year. I was on a "Round-The-World Bionic Hip Tour" and I wore my tshirt all around the world. I went to Alaska (2x), Hawaii (4x), Mexico, Japan, South Korea, China, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria, London, Canada and more! My tightest turn-around was 16 hours. I was able to walk distances and do stairs. He's the BEST and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

From first listening to him at an informational seminar, through my total hip replacement surgery, and well into recovery, I have been immensely impressed with Dr. Norwood. His knowledge, skill and professionalism are outstanding. His caring, thorough and honest approach to patient care gave me the confidence needed to undergo this major surgery and makes me look forward to each post-op visit. I am extremely pleased with my new hip and very highly recommend Dr. Adam Norwood as an exceptional surgeon and wonderful human being.

To break my hip at 18 is no treat. Finding a doctor to treat an 18 year old with a broken hip is harder than you’d think. Dr. Norwood saw me and the next day had me in surgery to pin my hip. I was walking one month earlier than expected and 2 months post surgery I was running. I wasn’t able to sit comfortably or barley walk before this surgery. He was an amazing doctor! He made the process not scary at all and had amazing follow up care. I could not recommend him enough! Thank you so much for allowing me to get back to normal life!

Total hip replacement Jun 2019, so Adam Norwood gets another 5-star review. Like he needs any more. Top of the profession; I'd recommend him for anyone needing hip replacement surgery. From beginning to end he was (is) the consummate professional, explaining the procedure, emphasizing both pre-op and post-op work (And limitations - he was somewhat stern a couple of times during post-op visits, strongly advising me to throttle back, let the healing complete before pushing my limits too much). Total confidence going into surgery, total confidence coming out of surgery, and total joy in gaining back so much of what I lost over the years. My quality of life is light-years ahead of what it was over the previous decade, due largely to Dr. Norwood's competence, skill, caring approach, and holistic approach to treating me. Thanks, man. Anterior approach and epidural for the win!

Total Hip Replacement Surgery in Nov 2019. Dr. Norwood and the Orthopedic Center at Harrison gets high marks from me for having an excellent surgical program. My surgery experience shows these serious procedures are well planned, thorough in the every step of the process, and gave me clear and thoughtful communications. This surgical team have taken a client-centered approach and I know that their knowledge, experience, professionalism, and most importantly their upbeat positive and friendly approach made all the difference in the world. Of course how a patient sees such a huge surgical experience will probably always depend on the ultimate outcome and what the patient expected the outcome to be, I believe at this point in my recovery the ultimate outcome will be everything I was hoping for. Dr. Norwood & his team are as good as I've ever experienced in my life time!!!

He was conscientious, caring, concerned, professional and I felt he treated me like I was his only patient. I had total hip replacement. I am so pleased with the results! From the start to finish, he showed great caring. I went from a 9 or 10 pain level to a pain level of 0. I would recommend him to anyone needing surgery. He was so positive, I felt I was in excellent hands at all times!

Dr. Norwood is an excellent and inspiring physician. From my first visit with him, he planned my treatment plan with the future and my individual circumstances in mind. I'm 60 and a daily exerciser, and he took that seriously, helping me to effectively return to most of my usual exercise routine. I feel very confident putting my healthcare in his hands.

Dr. Norwood did a total hip replacement on my right hip in December of 2017. I felt totally confident in him throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation through the surgery and follow up visits. He was very thorough in explaining everything and the surgery was a huge success. I am fully active and hardly notice that my right hip is not the one I was born with. I recommend Dr. Norwood without hesitation.
