Dr. Zafar Latif, MD

I feel that a doctor specializing in treating cancer would be more compassionate and helpful. Dr Latif has to be the boss! He is not open to discussing options or looking into new medical treatments. If you decide to do that for yourself and try to have a conversation with him about it, he will become extremely abrupt, rude and unprofessional. Then, he will refuse to administer appropriate treatment, just because he can! Be careful when choosing an oncologist. Apparently, there are some who have such major control issues that they don’t really care about their patients.

Many years ago, I had colon cancer. This man saved my life. I am eternally grateful for the gift he gave me.

A superb physician. Always interested in the patient, listens carefully and converses in a manner that sets the patient at ease. His knowledge is impressive and his way of dealing with patients shows he cares.

One of the kindest, people I’ve ever met. Always takes time to review my scans frame by frame with me, is also hands on in his exams. Hated the cancer, but after surgery, it led me to Dr. Latif & for that I’m thankful.

I'm so blessed and thankfully whit Dr Latif very professional and always answer all the questions very highly recommended....

He's AWESOME

Arrogant, condescending, patronizing attitude—this doctor only wants patients that will do what he wants them to do without regard to their personal beliefs. His opinion is the only one that matters. I didn’t choose him. The hospital assigned him to my case and I did not like him from day one due to his condescending tone. Educate yourself and make your healthcare decisions based on what is best for you, not this unprofessional doctor.

The negative reviews must be for the other dr latif. Dr latif has great connections with his staff and patientzs. We would not have changed a minute. He was on top of watch..health of his patients and always listened.if we could have done anything earlier dhould of went to him early. We love dr zafar latif. Thank you sandy and omar

Husband is very happy with this doctor, he is our 4th Oncologist since 2001..

Yes I would recommend Dr. Latif to my friends and family as well. Having been his patient for almost five years I feel that I qualify for commenting on His kindness, thoroughness, and excellent knowledge of my disease and treatment.

I've never left a review. Recently diagnosed with cancer and suffering with doctor phobia, I can't say enough about my experience. Truly compassionate doctor and staff that took "time" with me.

does not listen. Does not help patients, not caring about the patients.

This doctor is a horrible doctor. Tries to cover up mistakes by lying through his teeth. Screwed up the methotrexate dosage and now trying to pass patient off. Says he makes calls when he doesn't. He got ahold of patient relations in which they called me. Patient relations stated Dr Latiff said his wife and daughter were too aggressive. Aggressive? Asking questions is apparently to aggressive. What a joke of a doctor.

He is a very kind man and very reassuring. My cancer has gone into remission as a result of his timely treatment. He and the Radiation team at Halifax were excellent. I cannot say enough positive things about them

Looking forward to treatment with Dr. Latif. All professional and private referrals to me have been excellent.

My dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer back in February. Dr. Latif has been an amazing physician, giving my parents hope and being available for all of our questions, concerns, and complaints. His staff is remarkable and the hospital itself has helped my dad through this extremely arduous process both medically, mentally, and financially through Halifax's patient assistance programs. I can not recommend him enough.

Dr Latif is awesome. He is so thoughtful and comprehensive in his care. He truly makes you feel comfortable. When I see him I feel like he treats me like family. I couldn’t ask for someone better.

I was diagnosed with stage 3B lung cancer and sent to Dr Latif. At my first appointment he spent an hour explaining what the disease was, what my treatment options were and answered all my questions. When he was interrupted with an emergency call he apologized profusely for it intruding on my appointment. Through out my treatment he has always acted like I was the only patient he had which is very comforting when you are faced with a terminal illness. I highly recommend Dr Latif!

We are currently patients of Dr. Latif, and he has need amazing with my husband's treatment. He treats you like a person. He goes out of his way to search for doctors who will best suit your needs. I would let him treat my children anytime. Excellent doctor!!!

Quite literally Doctor Latif saved my husbands life. He and a gifted radiologist devised a program to stop a bleeding mass which enabled him to have surgery later. While in another hospital the blood count decreasing due to the bleed, measures taken to build his blood but nothing done to stop the bleed (they said it wasn't possible) discharged him for hospice at home. We left and went to ER where Dr. Latif works...he began building the blood up/ low level radiation mentioned above. So grateful!
