NORCAL Group 2015 Annual Report

Mother and Daughter Share the Journey of Being Physicians
Pediatrician Dr. Shahida Mohammad has trusted her practice to NORCAL Mutual for 21 years. When her
daughter Dr. Sophia Mohammad joined Evergreen Family Practice in 2013, the mother-daughter team chose
to stay with NORCAL for the coverage and reliable services. Shahida says she always knew NORCAL was on
her side and was happy to recommend the company to her daughter. For Sophia, the choice was clear from
the start. “NORCAL really focuses on its physicians, and I know they will keep me as a first priority.”
The practice also enjoys NORCAL’s risk management offerings. Sophia uses the monthly Claims Rx to teach
residents about current malpractice cases and to stay up to date in her practice. She says the company’s
resources and customer accessibility make running a practice easier. “I have always received a quick
response, and I never feel like I am taking a number with NORCAL. It’s very individualized and I think
that approach makes a difference whether it’s a policyholder or a patient.”
Shahida continues to offer pediatric services, while Sophia focuses on family medicine. Even though they
have different specialties, Shahida and Sophia often collaborate on cases to strengthen the quality of care
provided to patients.
