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.

Be careful with this young doctor not recommended. His cures are worse than the disease. Ive had nothing but terrible pain after he operated on me. I’m worse off now than before surgery. Learn from my mistake and choose a more experience doctor

There are no words to describe how my husband and I thank Dr. Latzko for the surgery he performed on my husband. He is kind, easy to speak with and a very gifted surgeon. My husband owes his life to this man. The staff is also to be commended for the professional and caring help they provided us through this difficult journey.

Dr. Michael Latzko performed a 6-8 hour operation on me. He removed a third of my stomach while another surgeon removed half of the esophagus. His work was very precise and I enjoys a good quality of life because of his exacting work.

How would you feel post cancer, feeling like you are dying, and a man who has a so called doctorate suggests your issue may be psychological. Well, I did grow out my beard to show numerous other real doctors what Radiation had done to my facial hair, it does not grow from the cone of radiation, I explained multiple throat surgery's and how I felt like I was always choking to death. After just meeting me and leaving the room for just a few moments, I am offered a condescending prescription for ANXIETY. The cure all pill quick fix. I also explained I am a vegetarian, work out, jog and hate medication after Chemotherapy (not cancer) almost killed me. 1 Star only because I have to. It took the dedication of 2 ARNP's who knew me, listened and helped me get into Hyperbaric's which a real Doctor named Dr. Marx (U of Miami)suggested. VCD, Laryngospasm's, Stridor's. I learned how to pressure point my way through them until this day to save my own life. Thanks for not listening Latsko.
