Dr. Elizabeth Picinic Norheim, MD

Dr Norheim is a very great doctor. She listens and is very helpful in every way. I had two surgeries from her and she was very professional and I could tell she cared and was very determined to make sure everything went well. I recommend her to everyone. Kaiser is very to have you on their team.

Dr. Norheim is wonderful. I saw her for a consult after a very bad experience at Keck at SC. She was so thorough and her bedside manner was wonderful. She spent over an hour with me examining me and reviewing the x-rays and MRIs. She explained everything and gave her opinion and recommendations. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her She decided that I should have surgery and I have complete confidence in her abilities.

I feel very lucky that I found Dr. Norheim. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, caring and an excellent practitioner. She treats her patients like she would treat her own family. In these times, it is unusual to find a doctor that will spend more than 10-15 minutes with you - Dr Norheim did not rush through my appointment and really listened to my concerns. After my surgery, she spoke directly to my family to keep them informed. The next day, she personally called to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. As I said, I am very lucky that she took care of me and my issues. I wish more doctors were like this special one.

She strikes me as a very competent physician who is good at explaining one's questions and the procedures she would perform. I am happy to place my spine in her capable hands

Dr. Norheim needs to improve her bedside manner. When I told her about the pain I was experiencing, she practically rolled her eyes. I really do not understand the positive reviews. My experience was vastly different. I hope she is able to read this and improve her bed side manner. I will not be going back.

consultation was very informative and thorough.

I’m so impressed with Dr. Norheim’s caring and professionalism on top of her excellent surgical skills/ credentials.

My husband had a dislocated disc. She performed back surgery, which lasted about 3 hours. She was kind and kept us informed at all times. She was simply excellent!

Dr Norheim is exceptional, she is a consummate professional and without her expertise I wouldn’t be walking. My spine issue was particularly complex but she took care of everything and now my standard of living is the best it’s ever been. Magnificent surgeon who I couldn’t recommend highly enough

Dr. Norheim performed an extensive and lengthy spine procedure on me lasting over 8 hours. After a rather short convalescence, my severe back pain and problems were remedied. She is a fantastic surgeon. I highly recommend her.
