Dr Frank Lattarulo

Just found out that Dr. Lattarulo did not even remotely do a good job on my bunion repair. Friends kept telling me it didn’t look any better but I did not want to believe them despite having no change in my shoe size and still being unable to wear regular shoes. I had repair done around five years ago. Went to another podiatrist to try to get relief from pain from a hammer toe on my right foot. He informed me, that except for the screw visible on xray, there was very little repair done. So frustrating! So now I will be needing more surgery to correct what should have been repaired before!

Prior to making an appointment for my 9 year old son I asked the what the charge would be. After the receptionist informed me of the cost, I agreed to the amount and had an appointment with Dr. Lattarulo. During the appointment, the doctor tactlessly spoke to my son and gave him some upsetting information that caused my son to cry. Immediately the doctor, without speaking, walked out of the room… In the middle of the appointment and did not return! This doctor promotes himself as a pediatric podiatrist? A few weeks later I received a bill for twice the amount I had agreed to prior to making the appointment. I tried to amicably resolve this issue over the phone. I even asked to speak directly with Dr. Lattarulo but he refused to have a conversation. So, after calling several times and continuing to receive bills for the higher amount, I then decided to send a check for the amount I had agreed to with a letter explaination. The office responded to this attemted resolution by turning over the receivable to a collection agency. I want to also mention that since going to Dr. Lattarulo I had a consultation with another podiatrist who disagreed with Dr. Lattarulo’s diagnosis.
