Overview

Philosophy of care | I encourage my patients to say what is on their mind without having them feel uncomfortable. I am a good listener, which is a valuable attribute. I always listen to my patients and include them (and their families) in decisions about their health care. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to care for people. I have been interested in medicine since I was in high school. I originally became a pharmacist, but soon I decided to become a doctor, feeling I could have a greater impact on patient care. The most enjoyable part of being a doctor is seeing someone get better and knowing he or she appreciates your care.

Dr. Lakata is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Cirrhosis, Melorheostosis with Osteopoikilosis, Melorheostosis, and Osteopenia.
