Dr. John Norris and his staff are excellent. They really care about their patients, and take as much time as necessary to answer your questions. I just had an aortic valve replaced after five years of Dr. Norris monitoring my situation. He knew exactly when it was necessary to proceed. He helped me select a surgeon, Dr. Blaine Heric, who was terrific and took me through the open heart process. His care was also phenomenal. They worked as a team, and I was back to walking over 5 miles a day within 4 weeks of my surgery. I highly recommend Dr. John Norris as a Cardiologist, and I am so fortunate to having found him.

I would highly recommend Dr Norris he is very professional and thorough.
I am so thankful for Dr. Norris and his staff for taking care of me. The surgery I had has made me feel so good. I have no heart discomfort and my dizziness has disappeared which makes life so much more enjoyable. Dr. Norris is such a caring and kind person and I appreciate the prayers when I am stressed. His staff has been professional and kind also. They make you feel comfortable. I have and I will l continue to refer people to Dr. Norris whom I have complete confidence.

In July 2015 I saw Dr. Norris because my Heart was in AFib. Heart rate at rest was approximately 130BPM 24/7. Dr. Norris immediately put me on medications to stop the AFib (normalize my heart rate). After normalizing my heart rate and allowing my heart to regain strength (couple of months), Dr Norris suggested that I have heart ablation performed. I was very much in favor of this method of treatment since success of this heart ablation would allow me to resume a normal life with a minimum of medications. Dr Norris performed the heart ablation successfully. It has been approximately 5 years since this heart ablation with no indications of AFib. Neither periodic or constant AFib which I previously experienced. I HAVE BEEN AFIB FREE FOR 5 YEARS. When I first noticed AFIB, I was exercising at a very high intensity (exercising at 90% max heart rate). Since the heart ablation, I have continued to exercise at a high intensity and AFib free. I will soon be 79 years old. Dr Norris has allowed me to live a normal life,
Six years ago, I had to have a cardiac ablation as all other forms of treatment did not work. I was almost in a permanent condition of AFIB, but after a few hours of surgery, Dr. Norris put my back in rhythm. I haven't had an incident of AFIB since then. Dr. Norris came highly recommended by other physicians and I am very happy I found him. I would trust no one else when dealing with heart arrhythmias and the treatment to fix them. When someone tells you that you have heart issues, seek the best. And, the best is Dr. Norris. My sincere thanks to Dr. Norris and his wonderful staff.
I first met Dr John Norris when I was trying to control my afib around 2002. He continued to keep me functional until around 2008 when my afib could no longer be controlled by my meds. During that time he had to reset set my heart on several occasions successfully. In 2008, he successfully preformed an abalation. The abalation had my heart in rhythm until late 2021. In late 2021, I started to go out of rhythm. He successfully reset my heart on several occasion. The time that the reset worked continued to get shorter and shorter. In late 2022, he performed my second abalation and it appears to be working. I am almost 82 years old due to DR Norris's efforts. I recommend him as highly as I can.

I was referred to Dr Norris by a provider at an Urgent Care clinic where I had gone to have a physical for my driver's license. That provider gave Dr Norris a high recommendation and told me that Dr Norris specialized in treating the medical problem that I was having. After receiving care by Dr Norris for the past several months, I am now so grateful that I was directed to him. I feel that I have received excellent service by Dr Norris as well as his nurse practitioner and physician's assistant and all of the staff at Pinellas Arrhythmia Associates. When I learned that I would likely need to undergo a medical procedure on my heart to offer me the best chance of correcting the rhythm disturbance that I was having, Dr Norris was very helpful in explaining all the needful information and in allaying my fears. I had some fears about the procedure and concern over the possibility that it might not be successful, but Dr Norris was very sensitive and compassionate and during one office visit he prayed with me about my decision. There are not many doctors that will do that for their patients! The day of my procedure finally came and I arrived at Morton Plant Hospital early in the morning. I was very happy with the way I was treated there and I have no complaints but only praises. Often people who undergo a procedure like I did are able to go home the same day, but my blood pressure was running low (likely from the anesthesia) and the nurses recommended that I stay at the hospital over-night. At 5am the next morning which was a Saturday, I was overjoyed to see Dr Norris come into my room with the good news that the procedure went well and the prospects were favorable for a positive outcome. I know that there are not many doctors who visit with their patients so early on a Saturday morning, but I also know that Dr Norris is not your ordinary doctor. I was also delighted to be visited by his nurse practitioner at around 7am that same morning. Overall I can say from my heart that I am thankful to God for His leading me to receive my care from Dr Norris and his staff. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone with a broken heart like mine- they can mend it in more ways than one!
Worst doctor I’ve ever been to. Went in for routine tests to create a baseline due to an extensive family history of cardiac incidents. Office staff was great until I got to Dr. Norris. He didn’t talk about my heart, briefly read my family history. Knows nothing about my current weightloss program, current weight lost, medical history of illness increasing weightloss struggles, and proceeded to immediately tell me ‘clearly you’re eating enough out you wouldn’t be fat’. With 0 medical history of anything other than cardiac concerns, proceeds to tell me I should only be eating once a day. And then shifts directly into ‘can I pray over you’? Where he proceeded to part that Jesus would help be with my fat issues. This was the most offensive, inappropriate, inhumane, non doctor like care I’ve ever received. What was supposed to be a first time appointment about my heart, left me with 0 discussion about my heart and a strange morning of ridicule and odd religious practices. What I would love to know is had I been a man would he have ever said half of the fat comments to me? Probably not. This man is a Middle aged white chauvinist with a god complex. Additionally, I’d love to see him go into a Dr appointment where his medical processional happened to be any other religion - say Wiccan and pray over him and see his reaction. My guess is he would be appalled. This place needs to remove any sign that they’re Christian or act in a godlike manner. There was 0 reflection of godlike kindness, humility, compassion or doctor like care. This man is an embarrassment to the medical community and I hope an embarrassment to the ‘Christian community’.
