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.

My experience with Dr Norem was he was my mom's surgeon. He removed 90 percent of her colon without using a bag and she lived 20 yrs and died of a heart attack. Great surgeon.. talks in details .. lets you ask questions.

At 67 years old, I had given up hope of ever getting my colon rejoined and the bag removed that had been installed over 6 years ago. But Dr. Norem didn't hesitate to try. And he succeeded! He confessed it was a very difficult procedure where he almost stopped, but tried again and managed it. Dr. Norem is a partner with the doctor owned hospital called Central Louisiana Surgical Hospital. That hospital is by far the most professional and well managed hospital in this state. All of their staff are hand picked angels that are dedicated, professional, empathetic and kind. They are like loving family. Best part is after surgery you will stay in a really nice private room that is so quiet clean and restful. I entered there a stranger, but left with dozen new friends. Thank you sincerely Dr. Norem!

Very good surgeon. Diagnosis’s my condition, preform the surgery and explained the findings. Explained everything to me before he made a cut. Waiting room was small. The reception he has should not be the first person you see. She does not have an inviting personality. Once you get past her everyone else is very pleasant. She will make people has a second opinion about seeing Dr Norem.
