About

Philosophy of Care

My training and my philosophy focus on helping people maintain and improve their function. This often requires taking into consideration physical, mental, emotional, vocational, and social factors while treating an underlying condition or mitigating its effects. I believe, in all the conditions I treat, that it is extremely important for people to take ownership of their health and work as partners with their treatment team to maximize the benefit they receive. It is a privilege to be a physician and help people improve their quality of life.

Mane the Dr needed some more coffee as I was his first appointment but unfortunately, I felt he did not explain in detail what’s going on with my back. He just said he reviewed my lumbar scan. He did ask if I had any questions at the end of the exam but by then I kind of felt like he just did not care so I just left. I’m so sorry to be honest but that’s how I felt

10/02/2024

takes time to explain everything, listened to my concerns. I was allowed to participate in the treatment plan.

10/01/2024

My only complaint is that Dr. Lattin did not follow up with me as he said he would. I had to initiate the follow up

07/10/2024

He really took his time to understand my symptoms and evaluate me. He answered all my questions. He explained all my options clearly and finished with a clear course of action. I felt like he truly listened and that seems rare with doctors. He was very patient and knowledgeable. I feel confident trusting him with my care plan.

10/18/2023

He was not able to help me with my issues and was referring me to one of his partners for injections and I have not heard from anyone in over a week. I have had a headache for almost 4 months with no relief. Right now I feel like no one even cares.

10/13/2023

More to come after I am further along in my treatment

Good bedside manner

07/07/2023

So far it's going very well.

07/05/2023

When I left my husband made the comment that he felt the doctor did not seem to believe that I am having that much pain. Or he said he diminished it because of our age. I said yes that is the way I felt as well. I told him that is what is hard when you see someone that doesn’t know you well they don’t know that I don’t go to the doctor until after I have already tried everything in my power to help myself first. He doesn’t know that I am the kind of person who goes to work hurting on Monday after being rolled by a cow on Saturday. I worked with two compression fox in my back and several very large hematomas and while at work one of the doctors asked why I was at work and I said it doesn’t hurt any less at home and I have to keep moving or I am going to hurt worse. I am not doing anything hard I am just [profession] I felt a little dismissed and as an older person am just supposed to accept aches and pains but when the pain is so bad I can’t get a decent nights sleep for weeks on end I need some help. I wish I could go back on this and proof read what I wrote so hope you understand what I am trying to say.

05/27/2023

I found the provider listened to everything I mentioned and explained the proposed treatment very well

04/24/2023

Keep it up i laughed most every time i was being tested aka shocked with varies devices and i hope it solves my medical issues or at least sends me in the next direction to do so thank you and bless all of you and yours kiss kiss big hugs

04/22/2023

#1-You need a new facility! Hospital floor/walking distance/dark/empty rooms….I felt like I was walking into a tomb!

03/21/2023

He is pretty Good

03/17/2023

It takes too much time to have to get a reference to the Dr first. Staff and Dr were great.

03/11/2023

He is very good, he spent plenty of time with me and addressed all my concerns

03/10/2023

The appointment with Dr. Lattin provided constructive helpful information and options moving forward.

02/23/2023

Good service

01/29/2023

Very caring and gentle.

01/15/2023

Thank you for such amazing care. St. Alphonsus is top-notch.

11/08/2022

Dr. Lattin was very helpful and I look forward to continuing my care with him.

08/09/2022

Sincere, caring doctor. Body posture during discussion could be more upright, rather than leaning into head with hand on face and arm on counter --I think this change would convey that what was being said was meant for me. Posture communicates focus and professionalism.

07/23/2022

*Dr. Lattin conducted a thorough exam and ordered an MRI which I got right away as well as physical therapy - also got in right away.

07/22/2022

*Dr. Lattin was very sensitive to my questions he answered every question I had and showed GREAT concern!! I appreciate his time and knowledge to my health concerns!!

06/22/2022

He understood my concerns and did not dismiss me

06/03/2022

Very good and eye contact when talking and support when needed

04/29/2022

NA

04/27/2022

*Dr. Lattin treated me with genuine concern for my pain. He provided immediate referral for PT & scheduled follow up treatment which did not help & now I'm waiting for another procedure he's recommended.

04/27/2022

Excellent.

04/11/2022

Good.

04/04/2022

Very impressed w/provider and MA's compassionate care. I am frustrated with the lack of timely follow-up on my MRI results (two weeks later I have no results and my call/message last week to the clinic has gone unanswered). No MRI result, haven't heard re: PT referral. Still having pain/stiffness.

03/25/2022

Would recommend to anyone in pain.

03/09/2022

Everyone was very professional and courteous which is not always the case with St. Alphonsus.

02/09/2022

The place was clean & neat/organized. *Dr. Lattin was polite, looked me in my eyes while speaking/explaining with/to me. Very informative.

01/14/2022

Should be between the patient and physician.

10/26/2021

He was very calming.

10/16/2021

Dr Lattin is an outstanding physician. He's knowledgeable and translates medical jargon so that it's useful to the patient. He's always positive, even when the situation appears challenging. Wish he were available to be my primary physician.

09/30/2021

*Dr. Lattin was attentive and compassionate.

09/28/2021

My first time seeing *Dr. Lattin. I like him. He listened & comprehended what I was informing him of w/my condition.

09/27/2021

The sciatica lasted approx. 6 wks. I was almost well so didn't need the clinic like I did a 6 wks. previous. An MRI showed a bulging disk, so I went to see the *Dr. Latin. The MRI showed a mass on my sacram, so he said deal with that first.

09/22/2021

It was what I expected it to be.

09/03/2021

Very good.
