I had an online appointment with Dr. Katz. His bedside manner is excellent. He diagnosed my issue quickly and I’m feeling much better now.

My time is important too. I had to wait over an hour to seen by Dr Katz. Which seems strange since I was told that
I had to wait in my car and they would call me. Well that did not happen, no one wrote down my cell which I gave them twice before the appointment.
So when it was my time they called my home, spoke to my wife, to get my cell number.
I saw several people walk in straight from their cars so they did not wait to be called, which created a large number in the small waiting room.
I was very uncomfortable to say the least.

1st appt I waited an hour before his receptionist called to reschedule. Then my second appt was so short I could barely get any insight. I got nothing accomplished. I don’t recommend seeing this doctor.

Bad experience in waiting ,however I have an appointment.the doctor doesn’t talk or explain to me ..just typing on his tablet ..no more visits to this terrible place
December 10, 2019Adel A.Verified patient
It was good
September 24, 2019Sarah S.Verified patient
Terribly long wait, first appointment was at 12:45 when I got there they were running 2 hours behind & didn’t call me to let me know I wasted an hour getting there & back. Second time I waited 50 minutes would have been longer until I expressed how annoyed I was.
Biggest issue I have with doctors who charge a 25. Penalty if you cancel within 24 hours is that they believe there time is worth more than yours. They charge you for cancelling but it’s ok to leave me in rooms for hours at a time.
June 19, 2019Michael L.Verified patient
Dr Katz have been my Gastroenterologist for at least 7 years he was professional, well read, straightforward and a good doctor . I highly recommend him.
May 14, 2019Hanna G.Verified patient
Dr Katz is very knowledgeable .
More than 1 year agoOleg M.Verified patient
Dr. Katz was very focused on my symptoms and eating habits. He readily took the information I had from other physicians to help him make a decision on how we should proceed. He made sure I understood about the procedure, and what I could expect as far as the issues he could investigate for me, and what would be better left to other specialists.
Overall it was a very pleasant visit, and I would recommend him to any of my family and friends.
April 10, 2019James T.Verified patient
He doesn’t bother to find our your individual symptoms or find an individualized treatment plan for you. He just hands everybody the same print-out instructing them to change their diet. I tried everything on that sheet and, unsurprisingly, it didn’t work. I will not be going back.

The wait was not long either!
January 15, 2019Binh V.Verified patient
Waited over a hour to see this doctor and doctor seemed very aggaited and I felt rushed .Office staff was unprofessional was gossiping about a patient after they left doctor tried to schedule 2 procedures in one day and in 2 days no asking if I was available and they rushed me to the waiting area where patient has no privacy to schedule exams everyone in waiting area over hearing your personal business .Dont recommend this doctor or office

It's not too often someone can say they enjoyed a doctor's visit. This was my first with Dr. Katz and he took the time to get to know me as well as my situation. He did not rush and asked questions. And the waiting time was about right to see a specialist, or any doctor for that matter.

Dr Latz is outstanding! He is knowledgeable understanding and vet easy to talk to. I waited longer because he gives his full attention to every patient so it was wel worth the wait riser him

It appeared as if he had forgotten what doctoring was about. It was my first meeting and it took all of 6 minutes. If you're interested in a doctor who will prescribe medications, he's probably fine. If you want a doctor who respects the patient, is inquisitive and parters with you in the healing process... a resounding NO. I will not go back.
June 28, 2016Seth R.Verified patient
At first meeting, I felt Dr. Katz rushing through the appointment with no chance of asking questions. I already had that kind of doctor.
As time went on, I was able to ask questions and Dr Katz gave detailed answers.
