Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Diagnosed An Issue Other Doctors Had Missed
He zeroed in on a health issue that other doctors had never even thought to check for. Very personable.

Great physician
I've been seeing Dr Lataif for many years. He has treated my Crohns Disease with customized care and treatment options. He's always professional and thorough; a good listener. Rarely do I have to wait after my appointment time. His office staff and lab technician are incredible, too. If you're looking for a physician and group that cares about you as a person, not just a patient, I highly recommend!

Dr Lataif is a wonderful physician! He's been my Crohn's doctor for many years. He is professional and kind, and always up to date on the latest medications and procedures. His willingness to listen and work with me to find just the right medication is what sets him apart. In my 30 year journey with Crohn's, Dr Lataif has been amazing and helped me learn to live with Crohn's and not allow the disease to take over my life. If you're looking for the best, he is it!

I started seeing Dr. Lataif 7 years ago when I was first diagnosed with Crohns and he has been an amazing doctor. He has worked with me to find the right medication and get my disease into remission. Dr. Lataif listens and is very attentive to any concerns that I have. There’s been many times where I feel like Dr. Lataif has gone above and beyond by helping me find supplental vitamins and various other things to even further improve my health. Very grateful to be under his care!

He is very rude and does NOT listen to anything you have to say. He interrupts you and proceeds to tell you how you feel. I cannot explain how rude he was. I came to him for help but since I smoke he pretty much refused and acted like I was something to be thrown away. Absolutely just rudely told me to take tums.

Doesn't listen up front to patients needs. His own office refuses to run tests for self pay patients and treats anyone that is trying to work with them on payments as looking for handout. Basically what the office administrator told me anyway. I never asked for anything free. Dr. knows I have a history of pre-cancerous polyps but doesn't want to help.

Dr. Lataif sat down and talked to me concerning my chronic condition. Listened to my situation and gave me his opinions. Straight forward answers. Very compassionate concerning my condition. Him and his office were very helpful with all aspects of my care. Because of insurance changes, I had to use the hospital instead of the office, The difference in compassion and care was very much noted, which is a testimony to Lataif's office.
