Dr. John Norton, MD

I never saw this doctor, but I think it totally fair to rate his “practice” in Pueblo, Colorado called “Springs Medical Associates where he is listed as the primary doctor. I drove 3.5 hours to see this Practice on a consult from my PCP. I don’t believe I ever saw a licensed doctor there, just nurses and a couple of Nurse Practicioners. I arrived at the office early and then was kept waiting for 2.5 hours! I was the absolute last person In the waiting room. Then the NP kept me waiting in the exam room, another 30 minutes! I kept my cool, even tho it was very upsetting. The so-called “Health Care Professional” was angry (Maybe because of her workload) and blamed me for my records not being available on her computer even though I handed a bunch of labs, etc to the receptionist now 3 hours prior! She had absolutely NO bedside manor, was rude and spoke to me as though I were a 6 year old. I am at least twice this woman’s age. What happened to common respect for those of us that have managed to live this long! The whole fiasco was ridiculous, and I told them I would not be back. Most of their client “patients” appear to be homeless, or at least down-on-their-luck. It reminded me of one of those prescription “doctor mills” - businesses where drug addicts go to get a quick fix! Stay away from this practice. I say that without ever meeting Dr. Joseph (or any Dr.), but like I said ... it’s HIS practice!
