Dr. Sam M. Latif, DMD
Reviews
Been a while since I visited this Dentists. I moved out of state but I remember his work now that I'm searching for a new dentist. He did a lot of work on my teeth as a young teen and somehow at 30 my fillings still look great! He's also actually very well known amongst other DMDs in the city which says a lot about his accolades. How many dentists you know call you personally to check on you, or see you on the weekend??? -Monica & Paul (1 star rating) are fake accounts. If you click on them you'll see that both accounts were made around the same time and both have no other activity on the web other than this review. Also notice how in both posts the "i" is not capitalized. Same style of writing, means same person using fake names...If enough people flag, google will remove.
I came to Dr Latif with an almost impossible task of fixing the damage that had been done from an accident earlier in my life. Over the course of 15 years and multiple Dentist that just did not have the skill set to fix the issue, I was left with a smile that was embarrassing. I was losing bone from the previous work of dentist and missing a natural tooth, as is was never formed. What I LOVED about Dr Latif is that he wanted to include you in the thought process. He laid out options, choices, cost, and expectations. He didn't simply say he could do it, he took time to think through the process and gave his analysis...What you would expect from a professional. I knew after two visits he was talented and clearly takes his work seriously. Dentistry is both science and creativity, both of which Dr. Latif possesses. He is extremely intelligent and not your typical run of the mill Dentist. Dr Latif connected me with the best Oral Surgeon in the city, Dr. Oleko in Westerville, as he had to create bone and place two implants. After healing and successful placements, Dr Oleko handed the baton over to Dr Latif and he began his Magic. I cannot express how incredible his creativity and meticulous attention was. I am happy to report that my teeth are perfect and my smile is natural. Well Done! Over the course of treatment, I began to love his staff. They are INCREDIBLE. They are beyond friendly, kind and compassionate. If you are looking for a dentist that offers high caliber work, without the high caliber price do yourself a favor and call Dr Latif.
Dr Latif has a great technique of free pain shot, he was recommended to me by a friend, i could not believe it till i tried it myself. i have the biggest fear of needles but not with Dr Latif. Thank you Dr Latif and Staff Highly recommended
It might sound hard to love gum surgery, but not so with Dr. Sami Latif. Although I moved over an hour away, I still drive to Sami to have any dental work done because he's just THAT GOOD. I had the pinhole gum surgery to correct gum recession, and totally went into it expecting the worst pain. To my surprise, it was absolutely painless, during and after the procedure. I didn't take any of my prescription pain medications and had very minimal swelling. Everything healed perfectly and I couldn't be happier. It was truly an easy procedure and I highly recommend you get it, if needed. Don't be scared!
My family had to move several times, and we do not have the greatest teeth, so we have had to try many different dentists. Dr. Latif is definitely one of the best. All of the work he did on our teeth looks perfect and has held up to the test of time. His office is lovely and very up to date, and the front desk always works to make sure you get the most from your insurance. I firmly believe that the two negative reviews (both suspiciously left at the exact same time) are lies, especially since Dr. Latif gives completely pain free shots--he has an awesome technique that I have never seen before--and he is ALWAYS very scrupulous about asking if you are having any pain! My daughter had to have some tricky baby teeth pulled for braces, and Dr. Latif was wonderfully patient with her. I don't know why people would post lies about his practice, but they should be ashamed of themselves.
