FemaleAbout Sarah Buckler Norman
Sarah Norman, PA-C, is a Physician Assistant with the Total Joint Orthopedics team at Prisma Health. Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, she completed her undergraduate degree at the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega before earning her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Brenau University in Gainesville, Georgia.
In her role on the Total Joint team, Sarah specializes in knee and hip replacements, dividing her time between the operating room and the clinic. Most patients seek her care for knee or hip joint replacements due to osteoarthritis, though she also treats a range of other joint related conditions. Her interest in orthopedics began early shaped by a childhood and collegiate career surrounded by sports, where understanding muscles, bones and movement became second nature. The opportunity to help restore function and mobility for patients who have struggled for years is what ultimately drew her to total joint surgery.
Sarah believes that the most effective way to inspire better health is through genuine listening. She sees her role as a partnership: patients bring expertise about their own bodies, and she brings expertise in orthopedics. Together, she works collaboratively with each patient to create a treatment plan that supports long term wellbeing and an improved quality of life.
Outside of work, Sarah enjoys running often along the Riverwalks in the Columbia area—as well as spending time with her husband and their dog.

Wait time , my appointment was 10:40 I was not seem until 11:50. I know there's going to be a wait, but this was even long for me , I just find that a bit unacceptable.

Waiting almost an hour after our designated appointment time. Had to remind staff about additional blood tests required. Nurse seemed confused about my medical history and current situation.

I can't think of anything. Your staff is awesome.

Energy speaks volumes when it comes to another person's comfort. People can read your energy versus the things you say and how you act. Your physical conversation can definitely be heard. Eye contact, the lack of eye contact, not wanting to really touch a person or come near a person. Yeah, those things speak volumes. And that is some of what I experienced.
