All staff were very friendly. Office was very punctual. I was taken to a room at exactly my appointment time and was triaged immediately. I was then taken for X-rays and within minutes of returning from X-ray, I was seen by Dr. Katz. He examined me after reviewing my X-rays, gave me his thoughts on my condition and provided me with treatment options, including surgery, should the MRI he ordered confirm his initial diagnosis. So far, so good :)

I had laparoscopic knee surgery. Entire staff is super and Dr. showed my husband and me pictures of inside of knee problems. (arthritis and tears in meniscus on both sides). Took as much time as we needed to ask questions and never made us feel rushed, even though we were the last ones and broke into their lunch hour by 30 minutes. I would have confidence to see him again, if more surgery was needed.

I didn't experience any great bedside manner. Nor did he explain or discuss my MRI findings. He somewhat inferred I was lying about the weakness in my right arm when he pressed on it. The pressing on my arm caused extreme pain to develop in my arm and shoulder blade. I was very displeased with his remarks. He did not meet my expectation of a doctor who educates his patients, addresses their concerns, and allows a rapport to occur. His staff was super! ***** I would give him 2 stars.

Dr. Katz is a down to earth surgeon that performed a SLAP repair on my shoulder. Did an excellent job and I am so glad that he was the surgeon I was referred to.

My mom fell and broke her hip. Dr. Katz did surgery. My mom then went to rehab center. 2 weeks later, had a follow-up appt with Katz. Paid $76 to have a med van pick my mom up and deliver her to Katz' office. While waiting the hour in his waiting room, she had an 'accident' in her Depend. Katz said he would not see her because they didn't have the 'capability there of cleaning her up'. I told them I would but that wasn't good enough. There was no mess and I'm not even sure it was enough to even be concerned about but he would NOT see her. Therefore, I am done with him. My mom was in extreme agony and after the transportation there and getting her into the office for the appt, he was not going to budge. He would NOT see her. BUT he wanted to see her in another 4 weeks!!! LOL. I just took care of that. Cancelled appt and he won't see us again. BUT, THE OFFICE MANAGER, NICOLE? SHE IS WICKED. HOW KATZ CAN PUT UP WITH HER, SAYS ALOT ABOUT HIS CHARACTER. SHE IS A HORRIBLE 'HUMAN' BEING. AND I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE to see that. Please look at the numerous reviews for Katz about his office manager, Nicole. Don't just take my word for it. She is very lucky to have her job. Not many good doctors would allow an office manager like that! My recommendation to you would be to look around and find another surgeon. They picked the wrong one to think I was like the rest that would allow them to talk down to me. These people don't care about me or you. It's really as simple as that! Katz and Nicole...What a great pair!

My daughter broke her wrist and everyone in the office was amazing! Brittany is her new favorite person! Nicole was so nice to work with and figure out the billing!! Dr. Katz always had a smile and kind words. Hopefully not too many more broken bones to go, but we know where to go if it happens!! Thank you, thank you!! Could not recommend them enough!
