    Dr. Latham is always attentive to my child and his needs. He explains things in age appropriate ways based on his growth and development.

    Patient Review

    -
    Dr. Latham was quick to assume our child was not getting services he needed just because we were not going about it the one way he suggested. He, also, was very rude in the way he talked about concerns for our child's development and was judging his entire diagnosis on a day that our child missed nap/just started school a day before.

      Dr. Latham is a great pediatrician and does a fantastic job relaying information and talking to mothers. However, there seems to be a large bias toward fathers. This seems archaic in the 21st century with several single or divorced fathers trying to care for their children. Dr. Latham never acknowledged the father in the room as a critical member of the child's development which is of great concern. Please realize that in today's world fathers are equally as caring and influential on their child's health as mothers. Therefore the implicit bias toward fathers is unacceptable and needs to be addressed. As a father I was literally a ghost in my own child's appointment.

      Dr. Latham addressed our concerns and gave direct information about next steps with a concerning issue especially regarding our referral, possible diagnosis and took steps to reduce our anxieties until we know more. Grateful for his expertise and bedside manner.

      So wonderful to see a physician use soap and water and wash their hands instead of just putting on gloves! Super impressed by Dr. Lathams bedside manner and his patience while listening to my 6 year old explain how he was feeling.

      Dr. Latham is good for well child visits but not if something is wrong with your child. We are facing a health crisis with our child and are scared and need medical guidance. He has been dismissive of our concerns and gave us nothing we could do while we wait 6 weeks to get into a specialist.

      We've seen Dr. Latham before--he's fantastic! Actually, we love ALL the people we've seen in pediatrics. But Dr. Latham was wonderful getting patient to engage and checking him over. He listened to all my parental concerns and addressed each one, even the ones that were probably overkill. He was just the right mix of patient, thorough, and efficient. And very obviously concerned for patient's health, even as he alleviated my concerns.
