Dr Tennant was great and I'm glad we decided to come to him. He was very thorough and went over care with us as well as surgery and what to expect . Nothing felt rushed even though he's a busy Provider . We both left feeling very confident in his abilities and glad we made the choice to drive to Louisville from Clarkson Ky to see him

Dr. Tennant is an extraordinary provider. He made every effort to get my mother (patient) the care that she needed and brought in another physician during her appointment. I know that both docs were very busy but insisted to spend as much time with us as needed.
I was very pleased with my first experience with Norton's Cancer Institute, Staff and Dr. Paul Tennett. I will look forward to Dr. Tennett taking care of me in the future. I will highly recommend him in the future whenever I have the opportunity.

I think the wait was due to the time the doctor spent with patients. He took his time with me to make sure my questions were answered.

All of my Drs at Nortons during my recent cancer treatments have been excellent. I could not have asked for a better qualified level of Drs. All the staff was confident and knowledgeable during it all.

He worked me in and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. It was obvious he understood the problem and made plans to fix it! He brought speech people with him as well as an assistant. An OR stood waiting and I was personally escorted there. The OR area was expecting me and I went straight to pre-op, then to the OR.

Dr Tennant is an incredible Doctor who cares for his patients
Dr. Tennant is always thoughtful, helpful, and unhurried. I realize he is very busy and can easily run into situations that delay him - I don't have a problem with that. I'd rather deal with late meetings with him given how competent and thoughtful he is than switch to anyone else.
Best head and neck oncology team in the buisness
