Layla is a true professional in every way. She goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and easy to talk with. Layla took the time to listen to me concerning personal family matters (death of my mother) and that meant the world to me. Layla Is genuine and a great care provider that I would recommend to anyone and Nortons should be proud to have her on their team.

Layla Al-Shami listens to me and treats me with respect and compassion. She makes me feel that we are a team, rather than her talking *at* me. I trust her knowledge and guidance. She is super friendly and pleasant, too. I feel lucky to have found her after my beloved PCP [...] retired.

Layla is the most sweetest provider I've ever had, I am very glad I found her years ago. She always makes sure I don't leave her office with unanswered questions, never makes me feel like a burden, or uncomfortable in any situation. She has ALWAYS made sure I didn't need anything else before I leave her office. [...]

Doctor AlShami is the best and is always concern about my wellness and my cover s. She spend the time to go over and explain my issues. She never rush through any of my visits. She even take the time to wheel me back to front desk or a Assistant. I have referred several friends to her.
