He is direct and to the point. Some might be put off by that, but I appreciate it. He takes the time to listen, and isn't afraid to recommend non-traditional approaches when it makes sense to do so.

I am an asthmatic and now have graduated to copd. I have been to Dr.'s off and on all of my 55 years of life, but I have never been to a better, more precise Dr. than Dr. Latella....he is AWESOME!!!! I can take to the bank his initial diagnosis, he is ALWAYS right on the money with me. I see Dr. Latella on the average once a month for the past 2 years. But whenever I need him, he is always available......I call him, he can hear over the phone how I am breathing, he tells me "get to the hospital now" and by the time I get there, he has the staff already waiting for me with all the initial treatments I need as well as being there himself. His staff is as wonderful as he is.....Candy, the receptionist, Sarah the nurse and the two ladies in the back for the billing and such are the kindest, most attentive Dr's staff I have ever seen. If they don't have an answer for you, they will find someone who does you can guarantee that!!! They are honest, caring and kind...Over all.....you are… not getting the treatment you deserve if you are not going to this practice!!!!!
