Student Review
This is an incredible site and I am so glad to have chosen North Coast. I feel like my opinion is respected, and that I am a colleague to the other doctors. I love how independent Dr. Dave and Dr. lattouf allow me to be in my exams. The staff and doctors are incredibly nice and welcoming and they went out of their way to make me feel at home.I see many different kinds of cases from ocular disease to GP lenses, from children to geriatric patients and I feel that every day I learn something new. I can't say enough positive things about this site and highly recommend anyone interested in private practice to have a rotation at this site.
