my visit was last minute; to have an ingrown toe nail looked at. I saw Dr. Katz after I'd been helped by his assistant Elizabeth (who normally is in the Ellenton office.) she trimmed the offending nail/ and the rest, did an excellent job. I was told that Medicare/ or my supplemental insurance didn't cover anything because I wasn't taking blood thinners, and did not have a fungus infection. (I was having difficulty reaching my toenails following a knee replacement surgery.) The main downside of the visit was the 45 minutes I needed to wait before Dr. Katz could check the work. It felt like the office overbooks, but in fairness I made this appointment very last minute and was glad he could take me...so a mixed blessing.

Very friendly staff. The check in process is modern using an ipad. But the most important thing was that the Doctor was very thorough in his examination and addressed all of my concerns. Highly recommend anyone needing a good foot doctor see Dr. Katz.

Dr Katz had a gentle, kind manner. He quickly diagnosed and recommended a course of treatment. His office was much further than I wanted to travel, but it was well worth the distance, the traffic and the travel time.
