Patient Comments
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
The doctor explain the treatment options clearly. But I feel the interaction could have been more engaging and thorough. It would be great to have more open and empathetic communication during the visit. Overall, the service was good, but these changes would make a big difference in the patient experience
He was exceptional. He explained everything. He put me at ease from the beginning.
Could not be treated any better!
