Your trust is our top concern.

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.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Exceptional physician
Visits are prompt and he educates as well as listens. I appreciate the attention to detail and follow through.

Informative and thorough
A very thorough exam, he explains what he is looking for so you can be vigilant at home as well. He has a scientific “bed side” manner. But makes you feel comfortable. Highly recommend.

always efficient and quick to answer concerns
i last had a need for a review of a spot on my hand. The appointment was made with dr, Norwood in between regularly scheduled body scan appointments. Dr Norwood never made me feel as if I was bothering him with my concrns or questions about suspicous spots. He always addressed my concern quickly and correctly offering a solution choice that made sense.
