Dr Lye is amazing. He's very knowledgeable and respects his patients. He answers all questions with concern. I'm so thankful I have a Dr that truly cares about me. Above all, he has faith in me and my treatment. He's not a Dr that will give up on you. That means everything to me. Everyone wants a good Dr, but overall, one that has faith in them n their treatment. I trust him with my life. I thank GOD he sent him to me in the hospital. I wouldn't be here today without him and his medication referral. He awesome.

Have always received the best care possible from Dr Lye and his staff. Treated for Stage III lung cancer for past six years. Relationship with Dr and staff has helped make this ordeal a pleasant experience. Of course a good outcome is paramount but the end result was a tribute to Norton's and Dr Lyes effort and experienced care from entire staff. For that I am greatfull.
