Dr Lateef an his staff are so kind. This was my first visit and I'm looking forward to the next. He takes the time to answer and explain whatever it is you need. I was recommended by a friend. Wait time was less than 10-15 from checkin to being called to the back. Very professional

It was my first time back to Dr. Lateef in three years, and his office staff is still top notch. Fast, friendly, and efficient.

Lazy physician. Freezing spray is this Dr’s best tool from what I could see. I didn’t feel that I received an adequate level of treatment.
It was my first time back to Dr. Lateef in three years, and his office staff is still top notch. Fast, friendly, and efficient.

I was skeptical to book an appointment with Dr. Lateef due to the lack of reviews, but let me tell you that he's an excellent doctor. He took the time to explain my skin condition and answer my questions. Astrid was also amazing, she went above and beyond to ensure that I understood my treatment plan before leaving the office. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend this doctor and his practice!

Very professional. Took the time to explain everything to me. Had a lot of one on one time with the Dr. Lateef instead of his assistant like other Dr's in Florida often subject you to.

Excellent!

Dr. Lateef also treats my husband, son, some neighbors and several friends. My son saw multiple doctors about a skin infection and Dr. Lateef diagnosed and cured it when others could not. Also great office staff and P.A.
I had an issue with my insurance so that was not the staffs fault, but then when I wanted to pay for the visit after I was seen, I had to pay up front and then if there were any additional charges, the office mgr wanted me to pay again when I was leaving. I felt like they didn't trust me to pay when I was leaving after several years of being a patient there and self paying at times. I was in tears due to the insurance issue, so I thought they would have been a little more accommodating with the payment situation and only have me pay once at the end. They did not. Not good customer service on the mgr's part.
