Dr. Latif is so friendly and personable. All the staff are wonderful.

I was very happy with the doctor's care, with his patients, with the way he explained things. Office staff was very competent and I would certainly recommend them to other people.

Dr. Latif is very caring and takes time to answer all of our questions. He also gets us into office or procedure very quickly.

Dr. Latif was very professional, very courteous, and very warm.

I feel Dr. Latif is an excellent doctor. I am just so lucky that I had his care and his skill in the very detailed surgery he did robotically on my lung. I would highly recommend him. I love him to death. I think he is a blessing to humankind.
