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.

Knowledgeable and Thorough Physician
Dr. Norris is a knowledgeable and thorough physician, and he has excellent bedside manner. He takes time to answer questions and listen to your concerns. I’ve struggled with gastrointestinal problems for years, and Dr. Norris has helped me to find relief and quickly get my issues under control. I first saw Dr. Norris for my routine colonoscopy and then scheduled an appointment to get his advice on my digestive issues. He gave me instructions for a regimen that I should follow, and I’ve had success in just a few months. I feel much better, and I’m glad that I sought his expertise.

Awesome Physician and Experience
Dr. Norris is a very caring and kind doctor. He took time to really listen to my concerns and seemed very knowledgeable about my particular GI issues. I felt like he really cares about his patients. He went out of his way to get me scheduled for my procedure as soon as possible. After my procedure, he took time to talk to me and explained everything in a way that I could understand. I've finally found a great GI doc!

Great doctor!
I started seeing Dr. Norris in 2021 when I started having bad stomach problems. He ran all kinds of tests on me and figured out that I had a stomach ulcer and I’m also lactose intolerant and I have IBS. He helped me figure out what medicine would manage my symptoms. I see him every couple months to make sure that I am still doing good.

Poor experience
Office is disorganized. Understaffed. Overbooked. Between waiting room and exam room, I waited 92 minutes … and still the NP never showed up. I had to finally leave without treatment. A first is my 60 plus years of life. Would not recommend.

Wow! He saw and came and crushed it. I had been all over the Atlanta area. And an issue I’ve been dealing with for a couple of years and no one had an answer until Dr. Norris. His pleasant nature and and sure fire knowledge led to an improvement in a short two weeks. Go to this doctor!!!
