Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

IMHO a Repellant Lack of Ethics
In my opinion, Dr. Katz's lack of ethics is repellant. Read on to learn why.I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Katz for a routine preventative skin cancer treatment that I've been getting at other locations for @10 years called PDT. The first step involves cleaning the skin with acetone. So, Katz tells me we're going to use liquid nitrogen instead. Then he tells me it's too late in the day to do the rest of the treatment. The treatment involves waiting for 90 minutes for a medication to be absorbed by your skin. So, Katz would have known this in advance. This treatment also makes your skin very sensitive to sunlight, so it's almost always done late in the day in Dec-Jan so you can go home after sunset. Maybe he had tickets to the opera? I can only conclude that the liquid nitrogen treatment was to give him something to bill Medicare for. Net result, an afternoon wasted, necessary treatment not provided, unnecessary treatment -- as I said, repellant.

Dr.katz is extremely efficient and knowlegable in his field. My first visit was such an amazing experience. He resolved 5 diffrerent issues within 20 minutes. Issues that for 15 years I have been bounced around from specialist to specialist for with no resolution. I reccomend him to all friend and family members with enthusiasm. I am grateful to have found someone who is as experienced as he is. Above and beyond service with a very polite and friendly demeanor. 10 out of 10 stars to this experience.
