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.

My aunt saw Dr. Latif once after her cancer diagnosis in May 2020. He referred her to hospice, but rather than discussing that with her, he simply told hospice to call her. In an apparent bout of forgetfulness and ignoring multiple phone calls to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, he has continued to send mail to her some 15 months after her death. Today, it was a notice that he was returning to private practice. I don't know. Maybe he's a decent doctor, but he has a hell of a bedside manner. I'd steer clear if I were you.

I have been a patient of Dr. Latif for four years and I am very satisfied with his level of care. I always leave the office knowing where my health stands and what I need to do in order to maintain my health. He listens and answers my questions in detail. Dr. Latif will take his time explaining procedures and medicines. He does not rush out and leave you wondering. Dr. Latif is one of the very few doctors that I have confidence in and I know he truly cares about his patients.

He has been with me all the way thru my cancer. He is very kind and can make you smile when you do not really feel like it. He always asks if I have any questions, I really think the wait time is a result of him taking time to read really read you records and answer all the questions. His staff has always worked with me on appt. an times best for me. I love this Doctor and his girls on always on the ball.

Cold, unemotional, as was his staff. His behavior was inappropriate for patients with life threatening illnesses. I had to ask him to stay and answer my questions as he continued to back out of the examining room. Did not get back to me in a timely fashion which eliminated an entire day that I might have received treatment.
