The young woman who scheduled our appointment was very patient and helpful. We weren't sure exactly what kind of doctor was right for us-she listed and directed us to Dr Latifi. We didn't have to wait long for the appointment either.

Dr Latifi spent more time than I ever would have imagined with me. He reassured me there was hope for recovery. I was able to understand what the problem is - he drew me pictures and made sure I knew what was the root of my problem and how to treat it. He explained why my medications weren't working and informed me of all the benefits and potential risks of new medications. I felt better that first night and was able to sleep the entire night without coughing for the first time in months. Dr Latifi called me twice to follow up and make sure I was feeling better.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Latifi. I feel I could not be in better hands under any circumstances. He went way beyond what he had to do to explain my problems to me and what he felt was the best way to go about treating me.

All of my experiences dealing with the Cleveland Clinic were positive ones. Everyone was helpful and pleasant and I could not have found a better doctor than Dr. Latifi. He took a lot of time to explain everything to me and take my health history and I feel I could not be in better hands. I look forward to dealing with him in the future and feel confident he has my best interest at heart. I know I have found the best doctor for me and my health.

I could not say enough good things about Dr. Latifi. I have never had a doctor take so much time to make sure that I understood what asthma is, what causes it and how best to treat it for me personally. I first noticed breathing problems when I was 13 years old and it was diagnosed as asthma. I am now 70 and Dr. Latifi literally went through every incident I could remember through all of those years to better understand just what we were dealing with. I feel sure that I am in the best possible hands.
