Pierre-Jean Lattanzio, MD

Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

When I was young, I use to go running with my father. I ended up developing Osgood-Schlatter disease and was in the care of an orthopedic surgeon. I was inspired by the orthopedic surgeon I saw, and I decided right then, at the age of 12 that I would pursue a career in medicine.

What I want my patients to know about me:

My patients are my priority, and I always put their interests above all else. Every patient who makes the choice to see me and put their trust in my clinical and surgical skills I envision as one of my own family members. I am highly trained and qualified, and make it my priority to ensure every patient is as inspired and satisfied as I was as a young boy. Seeking medical care is never easy or fun, so I want to make the process as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. It's my hope that my patients come in as new consults and leave as friends who are 100 percent happy with the care I give.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

Family is extremely important to me, and all my time away from work is spent making memories with them. My family and I love to travel, golf, musicals, and spending time with friends. The home we just bought has a small section vineyard, so I look forward to taking up a new hobby of wine making.
