A dear friend received fiduciary paperwork from the VA. He did not request this. I've tried to get a hold of the doctor more than 15+ times and after promising to send someone to his home, no one ever came. She has not returned my call and this is confusing. She prepared paperwork for a fiduciary with a person that did not understand nor request it read more

Best doctor I ever had in my life. I loved her attention to detail and compassion. I am truly sorry she left Sutter Health and I no longer can go and see her. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Woiwode for about 10 years and truly cannot say enough about how wonderful she is. She's the best doctor I've ever had. She is compassionate, pragmatic, and thorough. I never felt rushed and she always took the time to discuss anything I had questions about. She caught some things early that most other doctors wouldn't have considered, and I'm so grateful. Not only is she a wonderful physician, but she's also so kind and thoughtful. On more than one occasion she recalled little things about me that I had mentioned in passing over a year prior, and she always cared how I was doing as a person--not just as a medical patient. I received the letter that she was leaving while I was pregnant and I actually cried (I can only partly blame the hormones), I was so sad to lose her. I am now seeing another doctor at PAMF that Dr. Woiwode referred me to and she is fine, but I do truly miss Dr. Woiwode. Every so often I google to see if she's decided to go back to practicing somewhere else that I can get an appointment at, just in case! I'd honestly consider paying out of pocket to see her if she went somewhere my insurance didn't cover. She's a gem. read more

I was her patient for 19 years. She is kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring. She has intuitive abilities that seem rare for her pragmatic field. She was edged out of her position by the DEI movement and I miss her very much. read more

Dr Nora Woiwode is NOT Retiring!!!! Dr. is the Best MD that I've ever had. I found her in 2011 while I was doing a Travel Nurse assignment in the area and needed a Primary Care MD for me. We started doing Telehealth prior to it being a thing. Plus of COVID was adding video to our phone calls, messaging and annual vs. twice per year in person visits. Dr Woiwode is an AMAZING diagnostician, besides "getting" her patients. She explains things in English. Takes her time during visit, responds quickly to patients phone calls, messages etc. is extremely empathetic as well. Sutter Health should clone her. She is totally worth - flying up from So. Cal to see, and / or paying cash to see for a year or two - when employers are fiddling with insurance coverage. RUMOR of her retirement is just that a Rumor - I just saw her today. read more

Dr Nora is a Doctor, 12 plus years of school alone. Dr's are gifted people they undersand all the complexities of anyone's wellbeing something you know without much effort. That's what a Doctor is they see beyond your ailments into the aggregate of the soul. I have only seen Dr Nora two different occasions I can trust her. read more

Dr. Woiwode is an excellent doctor. Very sad that she left. It is now June - and this is the first time I was able to get into another INTERNIST practice at PAMF and the first appointment is DECEMBER 11, 2024. I have called at least 15 internists in several locations but none were taking new patients. PAMF showed little regard to my medical history - cancer survivor, RA, immune compromised and over 60 before assigning me to a GP that encourages children to join her practice. Their solution - call the first of every month to see if anything opens up. PAMF gets a one star rating, read more

She cut me off from vitally important pain killers, COLD TURKEY. Violated the "Do No Harm" precept and gave no reason. In the last six weeks, the pain has been so bad I contemplated suicide on numerous occasions and only the help of emergency room doctors got me any painkiller. I have since found another sohurce and life is a little better. No thanks to Nora Frieda Woiwode. I will attempt to see if I can lose her her licence to practice. She does NOT deserve her medical license. read more

Dr. Woiwode has been my doctor for many years. I just received a letter that she will be leaving PAMF. I'm in a panic because she is the best doctor. read more

I miss Dr. Woidwode. There is nobody like her as caring and passionate to take care of her patients. She goes above and beyond to take care of me. Thank you for all the years you took care of me. Genuinely appreciate you for everything you are a wonderful soul Doctor read more

Dr. Woiwode has been my primary care doctor since 2013. I usually see her once or twice a year. She is the kindest doctor I have ever seen. Whenever I go for my appointments, I never feel rushed and I genuinely feel she listens and understands my concerns. She is usually quick to follow up on emails or if you have any lab results that you are waiting for. In my experience, she won't push prescriptions if she feels that there is a good OTC alternative to try before getting something prescribed. Appointments usually run on time. I've never experienced a very long wait time in the waiting room. I defiantly recommend her if you are looking for a new primary care doctor. read more

Dr. Woiwode is clueless most of the time and tends to dismiss your issues. Her standard response is -- "oh.. you are too young to develop such problems". She is very disinterested to provide proper treatment and also doesn't remember any details about the patient. I had told her that I eat 5 servings of vegetables and fruits and exercise regularly. She appreciated me for eating very healthy. In a subsequent visit, she forgot about this and asked me to eat 5 servings of veg and fruits..what?? Also, she is most of the time looking at the computer and doesn't seem to care. read more

Dr. Woiwode was my Doctor for 18 years until she was edged out of her position by the new world order. God bless her. she was an angel and I'll truly miss her. read more

Dear Doctor Woiwode, I heard you are retire soon. I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done for me. You are one of the best doctors I have ever had. Your knowledge & care have made a tremendous difference in my life. I am grateful for the care that you have given to me. Thank you and have a happy retirement. Sharon Chen read more

I have had the privilege of having Dr Woiwode as my doctor. She is very knowledgeable and takes time to listen and address your concerns. I received a letter informing me that she is leaving. I am going to really miss her. read more

Dr. Woiwode is a gem of person! She is the best doctor I have been to in US so far. She is very kind. During your visit, her focus in on you and your problems. She will not rush appointments and give patients complete attention. I feel very comfortable going to her & trust her diagnosis! She always responds to your messages without fail. I am always thankful to her! If you are looking for a physician/ internal medicine, she is my first preference. read more

I have seen Dr Woiwode only three times since 2019 and my experience has been nothing but the best. She does not rush you and answers all your questions. She is kind and compassionate. All emails to her are answered in a timely manner. I am sad that I will have to see another doctor from next year because of my insurance. I wish I could continue seeing her as she is the best. Thank you doctor Woiwode. read more

I have had terrible experiences with finding primary care physicians up until I found Dr. Woiwode. She is so quick with her email responses, even during weekends. She will prioritize seeing her patients and makes time in her schedule to see them if needed. The appointments aren't crazy far out since she will make room to see you when you're sick and/or need attention. I feel like this was so hard to find anywhere else in my experience. I also really appreciate her patient listening and her explanation of diagnosis. She cares to hear about follow-ups and tunes her treatment accordingly. I love Dr Woiwode and highly recommend her! read more

We were impressed by her care and compassion. When mom died, she took the time to call not only to express her condolences, but to check on how we were doing as well. She didn't have her staff send a pro forma card, she did it herself. And mom was a new patient and had only been seen twice by this doctor. That's an amazing standard of care. read more

Dr. Woiwode is fantastic, and I found myself nodding enthusiastically in agreement with the other 5-star reviews. She is thorough, accurate, gentle and kind. When she steps into the room her focus is entirely on you, the patient, and she takes her time without rushing. I have been to other physicians who make you feel like a number, not a person. Dr. Woiwode is not that way and is happy to address all of your concerns and questions. I feel like I've finally found a primary care physician who I trust completely, and even look forward to seeing (although not too often, hopefully!). She's also very responsive through the PAMF email system, and her follow-up is always faster than I expect. Love her! read more

I've been going to Dr. Woiwode for about 5 years now. She's super sweet and personal, but she tends to rush out of the visit fairly quickly though. So, I advise asking your questions before and during your appointment and not afterwards as she seems to be in a hurry. Dr. Woiwode is very detail orientated with her examination and instructions, she is also very prompt with replying back to her patients through email in the Sutter Health website as well. She is also very up to date, attentive and genuine cares while you're talking even if she's typing things up in the computer. P.S. They changed to the building behind, I came to her maybe once a year and was not informed that they had moved. It took me quite awhile to find the office during my last visit and caused me to be late. Although I came in late, I still had to wait quite a bit until I was called in though... All their staff are quite young and very sweet as well. read more

I'm male in my early thirties. Dr.Woiwode has been my primary physician since 2013. Doctor had always treated me with  a holistic approach, compassion and empathy. She  is a patient listener and I've never felt that I'm being rushed up during my appointments. She is very quick in responding to questions asked during non business hours via patient portal. I've always felt that I'm in safe hands with Dr.Woiwode being my primary physician. read more

I'm so glad I was able to find Dr. Nora via YELP! I have been going to her for about 3 years since the PAMF she is at is right down the street from my old job in Sunnyvale. She is really one of the best doctor's I've ever had. I feel that she really cares, is compassionate, and is genuinely concerned for me when need be. One thing I appreciate the most about her is that I have never felt rushed during our appointments like I have felt with other doctors I've met with in the past. Even though I no longer work in Sunnyvale, I just visited her the other week and had another pleasant visit. She's not only extremely knowledgeable but you can also tell she really enjoys her job! read more

Very responsive. Listens well. Is proactive to find a solution to the health problem. She is very kind and compassionate. A great internist. read more

Dr Nora Woiwode is one of the best internal medicine doctors I have ever known. She is very patient, knowledgable and very caring. She is helpful in answering any questions I have. She is very good in trouble shooting my health issues and also explains every step she suggests. She is also great at communicating via emails. I highly recommend her. read more

Very sweet doctor. She is very gentle and takes her time with you. I never feel rushed.I like that I can make an appointment the same day if I call early in the morning. Also I never have to wait long to be seen. I highly recommend!!!! read more

I have been seeing Dr Woiwode for just over a year now. She has been amazing! She takes the time to listen to any and all issues you have. She is very attentive and answers all of my questions and more! She is VERY good with responding to you on the online portal (MyHealth Online) which is important to me. I have a condition that requires sometimes urgent attention and she is very responsive and understanding. Can't recommend her enough! read more

Me & my husband are fortunate to have found Dr, Woiwode. She was our primary care at VHP & when she moved to PAMF we were sad since we had to look out for a new PCP.Finally last year our insurance started covering for PAMF & we jumped the gun & connected with her. She is a great listener, doesn't make you feel rushed & answers all your queries patiently. read more

Dr. Woiwode is fabulous! It had been many years since I had seen her due to not having health insurance during that time so when I went back to see her, it was right where we left off. She took the time to read my medical records before my physical and was fully updated and aware of my history. She is very kind, attentive and caring. She doesn't rush you through an appointment and takes her time to ensure you have the best care possible. She also follows up very quickly through e-mail (My Health Online). read more

It is my first time seeing Dr. Woiwode in December of 2012 and she is also my daughter primary doctor. Due to my stress at work I developed symptoms that I never had. When she diagnose me with diabetic and hypertension I was not shocked at all. She prescribed me medication for treatments and had bad side effects. She listened to the problem I was having with it and helped me with alternatives immediately. It's hit and miss in this trial stage of medications but she great on trying to resolve the side effect issue. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs an internal medicine doctor. read more

She is the kindest, most professional, and thorough doctor I've ever experienced. I had a complicated year medically with having birth complications, having unexpected heart surgery, etc., and she helped me through every step of the way. She remembers everything - It's very impressive. She's also just very sweet and very patient when you're with her. She responds to emails quickly, and she is flexible so I can see her last minute if something comes up. I highly recommend her. She's amazing. read more

Dr. Nora works professionally. I felt comfortable to be treated by her.

I have not found an internal medicine doctor to rave about for years, and I finally found Dr. Woiwode! She is thorough, kind and someone you can connect with. So far I have seen her twice. Both times she asked a lot of good questions, ordered necessary tests and was thorough. She wanted me to get medical records from my previous doctors to better understand my medical history. Instead of sending me on my own, she asked me for couple of signatures, and her staff will take care of the rest. Talk about taking care of her patients! read more

Dr. Woiwode was recommended to me, when I said I was looking for a positive, supportive doctor. She is proving to be all that. The description of her in the PAMF website also says she seeks to have a collaborative relationship with her patients, and based on my experience so far with her, I really feel she walks the talk. She, and other PAMF healthcare providers, can also be easily reached via the PAMF online patient tool. read more

Dr. Woiwode takes care of my mom. My husband and I can not say enough good things about her. She read my mother's chart on the weekend to be prepared for an initial appointment on Monday. She responds quickly to all my e-mails and is always willing to help. I have total confidence in her care of my mother. read more

Dr Woiwode is a nice person, but I suffered due to her over confidence and lack of interest to perform further tests while pursuing a health issue. I had been going to her since 2010 with various ailments including indigestion, bloating, stiffness in the right side of the shoulder and pain in the right elbow, lower back pain and irritation in the right eye. Most of the time she would mention that I was young to have anything serious or that I was a software engineer and needed to improve my posture. I also visited her just before moving out of CA due to a job change and she said everything was ok with me. After I moved to a different state a couple of weeks ago I had severe pain in my stomach and had to call 911 as I was alone. I was diagnosed with a severely inflamed gallbladder and had to undergo emergency surgery. My surgeon told me that all my symptoms were related to the gall bladder. I wish she had performed more tests like ultrasound apart from the regular blood tests which always turned out to be normal. read more

I moved my care to Palo Alto Medical Foundation a couple of years ago based upon recommendations of family and friends, and was fortunate to be assigned Dr Woiwode (pronounced Voy-vodie) when I told them I needed an appointment quickly. I really lucked out! I could not be happier with my care. I'm unfortunately a rather high-maintenance patient, but no matter the problem, Dr Woiwode handles everything with a warm professionalism. I always feel that she truly cares about my well-being and I LOVE her personal accessibility via email. She really has become my 'partner in wellness.' She gives me the medical facts, allows for plenty of time to discuss the situation, and welcomes my participation in deciding my care plan. She has also gone the extra mile in coordinating care with specialist referrals. I feel like I've only shared a small portion of the great aspects of being cared for by Dr Woiwode, but you get the idea! She's absolutely one of the best! read more
