Awesome App!!!
I am a nurse and this app is incredible. It answers every question a patient could have. All the information is easy to understand and presented in a well organized manner!! I loved it!!!
Amazing App!!
This was the most helpful and intuitive app I have ever come across. Loved all the humor within as well - definitely eased my anxiety before my procedure!
Great Experience
This was the easiest surgery I have ever had. Kudos to my surgeon, Dr. Mitchel
Parathyroid Begone
The Norman Parathyroid Center is first rate. Their App is full of great information and resources. Highly recommend reading before surgery and using as a reference guide post surgery.
Great App!
This app is a great tool for navigating the Parathyroid surgery process from consultation to post surgery! This app answered all the questions I had but also those of my family! I wish all medical procedures had an app like this for patients! I’m sure it lessens the number of questions via phone calls to the physicians also.
Only thing to be mindful of is that regardless of what the app says, follow your surgeons’ written instructions first and foremost.

The most helpful app I have used
The creation of this app was truly brilliant. It answered all my questions and gave me all the information I needed as well as my family to know what was going to go on with my surgery !
Wonderful app
This app helped me so much knowing what to expect and then after surgery!
Recommend this app for everyone
Whether you have hyperparathyroidism or not, likely you will know someone who does (and may not know) this app and the associated website parathyroid.com provide valuable education.
The app covers everything you need to know about parathyroid surgery and demystifies it - even if you go somewhere else than Norman’s Parathyroid Center (but that is where you should go if you can).

Extremely useful app!
If you’re having parathyroid issues this app is an excellent tool. I cannot tell you how many times I referred to it, both before and after my surgery. Even if you’re unsure that you need surgery, it gives excellent information.
Very thorough guide
Answers ALL the questions the patient and family will have.
Comprehensive
I found the app to be comprehensive, easy to use and informative. It helps you navigate your way through the health care you will receive at the clinic, who your doctors are. It answers questions you have about your stay in the area if you are from out of town, the medications to use or avoid before surgery, what to expect day of and after care. And I won’t forget it was done with some humor. I found it most useful.

Wonderful app
This app was essential throughout my parathyroid surgery. Pre and post op instructions were clear and concise (and also funny - sometimes humor is the best medicine 🤣). Didn’t need to call the doctor once as all of my questions and concerns were addressed in the app.
Excellent site
This site is so informative and helpful after surgery. The surgeons are all excellent communicators but nice to have resources to review care!
Excellent Guide
Easily navigates step by step exactly what you need to know .
Perfect App
As a patient. I easily found everything I was looking for.
Best App Ever
This is the most well done, most informative app that I have ever come across. My hat off to whoever designed it because they included a wonderful sense of humor in doing so! Navigation was the easiest of any app I’ve ever used.
Great app
This app is great in explaining all the steps you will be going through in your parathyroid surgery. I can’t even tell you how many times I read all the information before surgery and then after having my surgery. They did an amazing job on this app.
Norman Parathyroid Center- a Medical Oasis
Every medical center in the country should copy Norman Parathyroid Center’s treatment of their patients.The facility in Tampa Florida is new, clean and pleasant and the staff is kind and skilled. I live in Michigan but the procedure there required 4 separate visits for consultations, tests and surgery. Norman Parathyroid Center in Tampa does everything in one visit. I went on line and clicked “Become a Patient” and the next week I had a telephone video conference with my great surgeon Dr. Lucas Watkins an expert in endocrine surgery to discuss my situation. The next month I flew to Tampa Florida and had my parathyroid surgery. They found a large tumor that my previous endocrinologist did not find. I arrived at the center at 8:30 and was back in my hotel at 5:30. They treated me and my family to first class treatment. They provided free shuttle service from a local hotel to the center. Communication was superb. Highly recommend if you need endocrine surgery. That is their specialty.

Norman parathyroid center
The Norman center is incredible what an amazing journey I went through. It all started with my pcp doing my annual blood work I haven’t been feeling up to par for the past 6 months or more. She did the blood work then called me back to the office because of high calcium levels she then redid the calcium and added a PTH screen. Both came back very high she was unavailable when I got the results so I did my own internet search and came across the Norman Parathyroid Center and filled out the calcium and parathyroid app which diagnosed me with parathyroid disease, I called the center and talked to Rhonda who got the ball rolling for me, from there filled out paper work they checked my insurance coverage very helpful staff. Next I received a call for doctor Luke Watkins what a great person he is. Then it went to scheduling. They scheduled my surgery date (again extremely helpful) at this point I was also consulting with my pcp. We also used one of the 4 hotels recommended on the parathyroid.com web site for the Norman center, the hotel staff was great very friendly and helpful they set up the airport shuttles and hospital shuttles. The staff at the hospital where incredible from sign in to registering to preop, the scan person, the anesthesiologist, the operating room to post op, theses folks are incredible they answer all your questions and treat you and in my case my wife like family. Dr, Watkins operated on me and he is a pretty straight forward told us what was going to happen, he did an amazing job and got a 1/2 tumor that was causing all my problems, I can’t thank him enough. The evening of the operation my wife and I walked to a restaurant near are hotel after dinner we were walking back and it hit me like a brick, I had zero bone or joint pain, and 2 days out of surgery I have not had any joint pain or bone pain. My physical health and mental health are so much better I can’t believe it. If you need the parathyroid surgery go to the Norman center Dr. Watkins and the staff are an amazing bunch of professionals and I’m sure the other 6 surgeons are the same. What a great experience and really when you think about it how could I say that about having surgery lol.
