Dr. South and the whole team at Norwood Endoscopy Center are the best. Even though this was my 3rd colonoscopy (last being 10 yrs ago,) I was very apprehensive. Dr. South and his team helped to ease my apprehension. The anesthesia they use now is so much better to recover from than what was used in the past. Dr. South explained everything to my husband and even gave him a detailed report regarding my procedure. I will be referring Dr. South to family and friends.

I was Dr. South's patient at OSU. Was very upset to find he was leaving years ago. I have recently scheduled an app. to see him, even though, I will have quite the drive. I believe it will be well worth it. Dr. South is a very friendly, personable, and intelligent doctor that cares. I have always thought of him and Dr. Thomas as saving my life in 2008. I have never taken the time to review a doc. but, Dr. South deserve's a 10! I anticipate my upcoming app, been having lots a gi issue's and I know he'll take the time to get me well.

Dr.South is very thorough and professional yet easy to talk to. The nurses were also very efficient and friendly. Due to some genetic issues, I will be back in two years, and I appreciate the proactive approach.

Positive experience this week at the Norwood Endoscopy Center. I am an RN & cannot say anything negative about the Dr & entire staff. I was happy to meet Dr South BEFORE my procedure. I was a little anxious, but everyone who touched me reassured me totally. I was called today by Dr South with path results..HIGHLY recommend the NEC for care. Thanks to all.

I'm very impressed with how much he cares for each of his patients. He's incredibly intelligent and is wonderful at explaining what exactly is going on with my medical condition. It's nice to find a doctor as compassionate as him.
