Dr Latta sets a fine example to his staff. I sent a message via MyChart on a Sunday. His staff responded to me by 0800 on Monday. They mived my appointment up by 24 hours without me having to request. My wife and I are blessed to have Dr Latta and his staff caring for us.

As stated before, he is fantastic at what he does. Very few doctors give you the impression that they actually care. I genuinely believe that Dr. Latta cares for my health every time I enter his office. I've referred him to my entire family. We live 50 minutes away, but he is well worth the drive.
