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.

Dr Lakatua explained all of my options and has always been personable and caring.

Dr. Lakatura saw me much more quickly than I expected. It is important to me to have all my questions answered and everything explained thoroughly. He was excellent at doing these two things during the appointment.

Dr. Lakatua is the best provider I've ever had. I have a rather complicated medical history. He has an excellent approach and understanding. Certainly appreciate all his insight and thorough, caring help. The "best" in every way.

Dr. Lakatua is a very good man, which makes him a great Dr. With family and ethical values, I feel he respects as a person as well as a patient, and is why, for my kidney transplant health care, is why I have remained in Missoula. That is important to me, I don't want care from someone who does not respect me, for my strengths and weaknesses as a patient that has had A LOT of sickness in my life and doesn't respect my wishes. Dr Lakatua remembers my hardships and respects them. I hope to remain in his care for many more years to come
