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.

I have been seeing Dr. Lattimer for just about his whole career. As an amputee with pain, he has been the best to solve my issues everytime something starts hurting me. Multiple rotator cuff surgeries, bone spur removals, etc. When my youngest daughter required an Orthopedic surgery, she of course had ir performed by Dr. Latimer. He's the greatest!

I had rotator cuff repair in Feb. 2018 on right shoulder. 4 months the left shoulder started showing pain. Talked with Dr. Latimer and he suggested that I have it repaired. Got two other opinions in which I was told I needed a shoulder replacement. Went with shoulder replacement and made the right decision. He does not spend a lot of time with patient .He was going to put a bandage on it so I would have to have another surgery down the road. Worst surgeon I have had an experience with.

After xrays and a brief physical exam, Dr. Latimer diagnosed arthritis and a loss of knee cartilage. But since my BMI was too high for his office's standards, told me to lose some weight, take some Tylenol and make a follow-up appt. I sought a second opinion from Dr. Furr, who immediately ordered an MRI. The MRI showed a torn meniscus and a torn ligament. Within 2 weeks, I have a surgery scheduled so I can stop living in terrible pain and get on with my life.

The practice is very well run. No long waits like most ortho offices. I've seen him twice and he is professional and to the point. He will be doing my surgery on my elbow and I feel great about him doing my surgery.

After injuring my knee, I called Dr. Latimer's office for an appt. and I was given an appt. for nearly 2 WEEKS LATER, which was ridiculous considering I had an injury! Over the next few months of coming into his office to be seen, Dr. Latimer spent very little time with me. I felt my concerns of my injury were not addressed properly, and he acted as if I were wasting his time! Not being satisfied with the care I received, I changed to another Ortho group, my injuries were found and addressed!
