Dr Latimer and his team made a necessary but quick decision to perform emergency surgery on my son, following a Septic Arthritis diagnosis on his hip. Although Dr Latimer didn’t perform the surgery himself, we have seen him a number of times in follow up appointments and he is always extremely helpful, reassuring and friendly with my son. He inspires great confidence and we are so grateful for the teams’ expertise, quick action and ongoing care.

I had a highly positive experience with Dr. Latimer. He took the time to thoroughly review my MRI diagnosis and clearly outlined the best treatment route, carefully explaining the reasons behind his recommendations. His attentive and comprehensive approach made me feel well-informed and reassured throughout the process.

I was very pleased to see you on April 17 2026. Thank you for letting me know that you have sent information about my total knee replacement to Lakeside Healthcare and also having the opportunity to see an anaesthatist. I would like to become a private patient. Regards Jean Townsin

Mr Latimer was very thorough in his review of my MRI and X-ray results on my right knee which had been causing problems for several months. He talked me through the issues and then made recommendations for recovery which I am now following.
