Dr. Lakatua is exceptional for knowledge and understanding of nephrology. He cares about his patients and tailors his treatment to each patient. I have seen many doctors in my 81+ years for a variety of serious issues. I've seen him for over 20 years. He combines many important qualities that are a rare find. He is without a doubt the best specialist and all round doctor in all my years of medical care. He has a huge bank of knowledge, caring, consistency and even adds a sense of humor. Outstanding!

I have been seeing Dr. Lakatua for over 20 yrs. He has given me excellent care the entire time. He is an outstanding doctor. I'm a bit tired of filling out the same forms and saying the same things every 6 weeks!
