Dustin Latimer, PA-C

The only thing worse than a crony is a true believer. Dusty smiles with his eyes and sells the organization well, but he fails to succeed as a care provider. He's one of the people who wakes up thinking 'I am more than just a doctor' and when you think that way you can justify a lot of bad behavior. He comes into work thinking I am going to rebuild trust with all the people who have been dis-served by Mazzoni Center. And he'll spend your appointment talking about rebuilding trust and the improvements made by the new administration. And you feel comforted. But then he glowingly refers you to someone terrible, faxes your imaging order to the wrong number, records incorrect information in your medical profile that can never be redacted, and slows down other care providers with his miscommunications. Dusty still thinks the problem is the organization - he started there 13 years ago and he still doesn't accept that he's a part of, not an exception to, the failure that is Mazzoni.

Dusty is an amazing health provider. Not only is he well knowledgeable about how to best assist his patient's conditions but he follows up and takes time to ask about prior visits. I always look forward to my visits with him even when there are difficult medical issues to discuss. You won't find a better PA as far as I'm concerned.

The most dedicated, professional and friendly physician I ever encountered in my life. I’m really going to miss you Dr. Latimer...
