Patient Reviews

What Patients Are Saying...

• Dr. Latteier was recommended by one of his partners and two physical therapists for my total knee replacement. They described him as meticulous, thorough, highly skilled and caring deeply about patient outcomes. I found all of that to be true. Although my surgery was only yesterday, my physical therapist just gave me A+++ for mobility and range of motion. I feel very optimistic about a great outcome.

• Dr. Latteier recently performed a total right knee revision after 14 years with my first TKR. It has been two weeks and I am walking without any assistance and I am able to participate in physical therapy with excellent flexion and bend. I have been so impressed with the care I have been given prior to my surgery and after. Dr. Latteier is thorough and has always done what is in my best interest for my knee. It has been a fantastic experience and I am thrilled that I found Dr. Latteier and will continue to see him for any orthopedic needs.

  Janice – Aug 13, 2019

• My experience with Dr. Latteier was very positive. From the initial consultation to surgery to post surgery follow up visits, Dr. Latteier was professional, compassionate, and informative. He is obviously a very skilled surgeon. I had hip replacement using the anterior approach, and my recovery time has been shorter than I had anticipated. When it comes time to have my other hip done, Dr. Latteier will be my first choice. I recommend him highly!!

  Jerri - 2019

• Dr. Latteier, was the only Dr out of several that took the time to speak to me personally about my care! he never had his assistant speak to me about my Hip. He took his time explaining to me the risk and he gave me instruction to lose weight and he kept his word and is now going to operate on me and for that I am truly grateful and thankful!!

• Although surgery is never something you want to have sometimes, it is a necessity for living a more active life. My knee surgery by Dr Lattiere was a very positive surgery. Dr Lattiere has a very caring nature that puts you at easy to ask questions and voice concerns. He takes time to answer your questions and put your concerns to rest. He has surrounded himself in his office and on his hospital surgery team with very professional, caring staff. Everyone was so ready to help your every need. I truly appreciate Dr Lattiere and his staff both in his office and in the hospital.

  Jane -2019

• I recently had hip replacement surgery with Dr. Latteier. From my first appointment on, I have been totally pleased with Dr. Latteier and his staff. All questions were completely answered, and I never felt like I was just another time slot on the schedule. I was contacted almost weekly by his staff to keep up on my progress and to address any concerns on my part. The most important part is "How did the surgery go"? At three weeks, no walker, no cane, and no pain medication. What more can be said! I would highly recommend Dr Latteier.

  Wayne -May 2019

• Unlike others in the office he required more detailed xrays on my knee. When I met with him he took a great deal of time explaining the issues with my knee. He also used charts to show. He gave me some exercises to do which has allowed me to delay my surgery. I was very impressed. My internist sent me to him based on positive surgeries on his patients

  Mar 22, 2019

• Extremely positive experience. Dr. Latteier was very positive and was detailed regarding the hip replacement surgery I was going to have. I am pain free after 6 week from my surgery, and I am looking forward to enjoying life again.

• I cannot say enough positive remarks about this man. He gave me my life back. Six weeks out, I have to pause to remember which hip he replaced, it feels completely back to what I remember as being normal. Not only did he do the most excellent job, he has always given of his time generously about any concerns I may have had. He is a very humble, intelligent man who made me feel totally comfortable in all settings. I can't praise him and his expertise enough.

  Linda in Olathe, KS – Feb 07, 2019

• Couldn't have asked for a better experience ..Had TKR on 7/30/18 and the other one done on 11/5/18. Had speedy recovery and minimal pain with both. I was so thankful that I found Dr Latteier. I was not referred to him by anyone, so I believe that the Lord just led me to the perfect surgeon. He was informative, patient and caring. The care that I received at Menorah Medical Center was also top notch. I have recommended Dr Latteier to everyone who may need the surgery in future.

  Janice -February 2019

• Absolutely the very best. Personally referred to me by a highly trusted friend Dr. Latteier had helped. My procedure was an anterior hip replacement. From our first meeting until my 6-week post-op meeting this week, the experience could not have been any better. I was totally off all pain meds in 2 1/2 weeks. I used my walker the first week and a cane for about 10 days after that. My only struggle is to not overdue it. And that's a good thing. Thank you Dr. Latteier.

  Jim in Leavenworth , KS – Nov 30, 2018

• Dr Latteier has replaced both my right and left knee. I would recommend him to anyone who is experiencing joint pains. He is kind and caring and listened to all my concerns and worked to resolve all issues. I have no pain in my knees and I am able to go up and down stairs and walking is pain is pain free.

  Sally in Overland Park , KS – Nov 14, 2018

• This was my 2nd total hip replacement. My left was done using posterior approach. My right was done by Dr Latteier using anterior approach. Huge difference between my procedures. After the posterior, I vowed never to do another joint procedure. Recovery & pain was horrible. Anterior approach was way better. If your surgeon only does posterior approach, you should find another surgeon.

  Olathe, KS – Nov 10, 2018

• Hip replacement surgery was my first major surgery and thanks to Dr. Latteier it was like a walk in the park. My sister and niece who came from Germany to take care of me were astounded at my quick recovery. After 2 weeks I could walk and work in the yard without pain. My hip had been in very bad shape and even required bone graft procedure. Dr. Latteier's friendly manner immediately instilled total trust in him and I can't thank him enough to give me back my active lifestyle.

  Ria in Kansas City, MO – Oct 24, 2018

  Elizabeth in KS – Oct 07, 2018

• Dr. Latteier performed total hip replacement on my right hip on April 2, 2018. The surgery was performed in the morning and I was released to go home the next afternoon. I am extremely happy with my experience. The anterior procedure for hip replacement was thoroughly explained prior to surgery. I was walking right away and have never experienced pain. At two weeks out, I can walk steps easily and do not need the assistance of a walker or cane. Feeling blessed that this experience has been nothing but positive. The staff at Menorah Hospital was caring, friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommended Dr. Latteier to friends and family. Should I ever need orthopedic surgery again, I will seek the wisdom and expertise of Dr. Latteier.

• Dr. Latteier preformed a total knee replacement on my right knee in February 2018. I just returned for my 6 weeks post op check up. I could not be more please with the result of my surgery, the doctor and his bedside manor. Dr. Latteier is not only professional but a gifted surgeon .

  John in Olathe, Kansas – Apr 09, 2018

• Having never had surgery, I was apprehensive about a total hip replacement. From the initial office visit, he explained the procedure clearly and set my mind at ease. He was reassuring the morning of surgery and during my hospital stay. I am six weeks post-op today. I no longer need a cane, can walk without any pain or limp and am ready to get back to swimming. As a military family, we appreciate his service as an Air Force surgeon. Kansas City is fortunate to have this skilled physician.

• I just left Dr Latteier's office where I had my 6 week check after my knee replacement. I wanted to take a moment to share my experience. Dr Latteier doesn't have much feed back in the Kansas City area but if you'll check Phoenix area You'll learn more about him. My experience is that he is a skilled surgeon with a great personality. He is attentive and caring and takes all the time you need to explain the procedure and follow up care.

  David – Jun 28, 2017

• I am thankful as an aging Baby Boomer that there is a doctor such as Dr. Latteier who clearly has a calling for his specialty. Dr. Latteier is brilliant, talented, kind, caring and good at educating his patients. Dr. Latteier made sure hospital staff were taking good care of me and checked on me every morning after he replaced/built up my hip. My life and future is better thanks to Dr. Latteier, I will never forget how blessed I was to be operated on by him before he left Arizona.
