Gregory J Latham, MD
Anesthesiology, Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiologists
On staff since September 2009
Children's Title: Director, Pediatric Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology Division
Academic Title: Professor, Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine
"I am passionate about optimizing the safe care of children with heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery, cardiac catheterization, and other non-cardiac surgical procedures. I enjoy managing the complex interplay of cardiac disease, anesthetic technique, and the child's response to surgery, ensuring safe outcomes and a rapid return to pain-free, baseline activity."

Dr. Latham is thorough, kind and gentle with kids. We've had Dr. Latham as our anesthesiologist for two consecutive surgeries and he's warm, friendly and easy to talk to. It's nice to see a face you recognize, that your child recognizes from heart surgery to oral surgery. He's been fabulous to work with and have as a member of my son's medical team. Bryton and I thank you Dr Latham!
