Very thorough for my first physical with her. I felt very comfortable the whole time. She provided great tips to take home in written and verbal form. The whole office was welcoming!

Dr. Lama is simply amazing. She took her time listening to all of my medical issues and even translated everything to my mom in Arabic. She has extensive knowledge on other health matters such as mental disorders. I would recommend her to anyone I know that's looking for a primary care doctor.

Verified patient
Very clear, no surprises, very accurate and professional. clinic staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and provided ton's of useful information. only thing i would improve is the gap / delay between the nurse finish test prep and actually seeing the doctor, Can't justify these lost 15 minutes of wait.
Verified patient
Dr. Alsamara and staff were great. Everyone was helpful and really listened to what I had to say. For both of my appointments, I was brought back by my appointment time if not earlier. Tests I had done were clearly explained to me beforehand, and reasons for prescribed medication were clearly explained. I have not found a primary care doctor since moving to the DC area, but after visiting Dr. Alsamara I will continue seeing her and her staff for medical care.
