Dr Katz, as usual, greeted me warmly. He always makes me feel comfortable during our visits. Today he reassured me that everything is ok post-operatively per assessment. He was kind enough to read sections of my operative reports. No orders were made but he will communicate with my pulmonologist for additional work up (sleep study). That’s what I like about Dr Katz, he works with my doctors for collaborative & continuity of care.

My visit with Dr. Katz was quick (no wait time) and thorough. He is caring, respectful, knowledgeable and the best internist I have seen. All my questions were answered and concerns addressed.
