“Great doctor. Very smart and really got what I was saying. Took my concerns seriously. Never felt rushed and all of the staff/nurses were so friendly and helpful. ”
Rhianna P.April 2, 2026
“I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Josh Katz. I came to him in extreme pain affecting my lower back, pain that was impacting every part of my daily life. From the very first visit, Dr. Katz was thorough, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. He took the time to truly listen, explained my condition in a clear and reassuring way, and made sure I understood every step of the treatment plan.
What sets Dr. Katz apart is not just his expertise in sports medicine, but his commitment to treating the whole patient, not just the symptoms. His approach was thoughtful, precise, and effective.
If you are dealing with severe pain and want a physician who is knowledgeable, patient-centered, and exceptionally skilled, I highly recommend Dr. Josh Katz.”

Dr. Katz is absolutely wonderful. After years of shoddy care I feel like I'm finally getting to the root of my issue. He is an excellent listener and takes the full appointment time. He messaged me right away to let me know about my x-ray results prior to the follow-up appointment. It's clear he really cares about his patients.

Dr. Katz provided exceptional care. He was thorough, attentive, and proactive in helping me navigate a major medical issue. He checked in on my progress, helped me develop a clear plan moving forward, and made sure all my concerns were addressed. His commitment to patient care truly sets him apart. I would recommend him without hesitation. He is one of a kind.
February 2, 2026Amy F.Verified patient
Doctor Katz is phenomenal. He cared enough that he stayed after his work hours to give me an urgent treatment rather than having me reschedule for later. He's professional, competent, friendly, and good at explaining medical issues in lay terms.
January 21, 2026Sharon B.Verified patient
Great all around. The Dr was very knowledgeable and made sure I understood all the treatment options. Very nice and friendly, already made another appointment to see him again.
January 19, 2026Stav R.Verified patient
Quick and efficient appointment. I went in for shoulder pain and to request a referral for physical therapy. The front desk staff and nurse were friendly. I wasn’t in the exam room long before the doctor came in. After telling him about my shoulder issues and my past experience with physical therapy, he conducted a number of strength assessments. After he was able to tell me what the source of my pain might be using a shoulder image for reference.
He provided me with my referral and stated after 6 weeks of therapy if the pain continues I should make a follow up appointment and discuss possible next steps. In the meantime he has instructed me to get an x-ray of the problem shoulder.

Great listener who took his time to explain and didn’t seem in a rush to get me out of the office. In addition, he called me back to explain the results of my x-ray and took his time to explain everything as well (everything was fine). Great experience overall.
November 5, 2025Rafael V.Verified patient
Dr. Katz was terrific. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his evaluation of both my knee and shoulder. He set me on course of treatment which I am optimistic about and look forward to continuing my treatment with him.
