Patient Comments
I came to Dr Katz for a second opinion, and he was amazing.
Excellent
Very knowledgeable and caring
I don't know if I would recommend Dr. Katz, he's overwhelmed as it is with patients. Not because he isn't a good Dr. He's a magnificent Dr. But because I would see it as if I were being selfish knowing how many patients sit in the waiting room just to see him. I've been with him for about 14 yrs and I wouldn't trade him for anyone or anything.
Extremely knowledgeable ,helpful and professional
