“Dr. Katz has excellent bedside manners. He listens intently as well as he explains procedures and courses of action. He's old-school in his ways but modern in his approach. The best of both worlds. ”

“Dr. Katz was very interesting and informative with my vein consultation. He explained in great detail how everything is to work and what happens if it does not. He would stop and ask me if I had any questions (several times). He genuinely listened and understood my concerns as well. ”

Dr. Katz was very nice. He was patient with me given that we had the baby with us, who was very vocal. He took the time to explain in depth what is going on and why. He made sure I understood what I need to do whilst waiting for the surgery. He was just really good, sometimes doctors can be dismissive, but he listened and was comforting. A very knowledgeable man!

The office staff was very friendly and helpful although I was 15 minutes late. They were aware, helpful and very understanding because I got lost. The Dr. explained everything in detail. I didn’t tell him what I thought, but he hit the nail on the head. It lets me know that he knows what he is talking about because he mentioned something that I forgot to tell him.
