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.

Life Saver
Dr Katz truly saved my life. On August 6, 2018. Dr. Katz, during a 8 hour surgery, removed a very large tumor “myxoma” from my left atrium. During my initial consultation, he was able to deliver some very scary information regarding my diagnosis and treatment in a way that made me feel calm and well educated about what I was about to undergo. I immediately knew he was the surgeon for me. I was literally trusting him with my life. His care before, during and after surgery was exceptional. I hope I never need his services again but if I do, I pray that he is still here in the area and operating. He is my miracle worker.

Dr. Katz Saved My Life!
I had an alergic reaction to the anesthesia and was in Palm Beach Gardens ICU almost a month after a quadruple heart by-pass. When I got off intubation, I remember Dr. Katz coming into the ICU at around 5:00 every morning. Everyone got a chest Xray and reluctantly was moved to an upright chair. Of course this was to prevent pneumonia. I was a bad patient and gave everyone a hard time. When I finally had my last consult with him in his office, I apologized. He said 'You were just scared' And forgave me by giving me a heart shaped little stone to remember him by. BYW, My 'ZIPPER' is almost completly gone. Sugery was done in 2019. MG, Jupiter

Best Physician Ever
I am a registered nurse who has worked with many physicians over the last 40 years … I have never met a Physician quite like Dr Katz …. Apart from being an amazing Thoracic surgeon who truly cares about his patients , his bedside manner is the best I’ve ever experienced. My husband recently underwent CABG x2 and from the moment of admission to the post op follow up visit in his office,Dr Katz was incredible along with his cardiac team . Thank you for all that you do and the wonderful experience that we encountered

Unparalleled in today's world of medicine
Dr. Katz saw me on short notice. Stayed at office to see me at 7:30 pm. Spent an unrushed hour with me explaining all aspects of care until I was satisfied I had the complete picture. All of that and my condition was not even an emergency or exigent situation. Complete opposite of today's assembly line health care. I am honestly floored to find this kind of complete, compassionate and dedicated medical care in today's world.

The Katz Meow!
Dr Katz performed a quintuple bypass surgery (off pump CABG) for me in 2014. The entire process was handled exquisitely by Dr Katz, who demonstrated his consummate surgical skills and exemplary patient rapport. Almost eight years later, I have had no complications and am currently a healthy senior and long distance runner. I was very fortunate to be Dr Katz’s patient and highly recommend him.

I was BLESSED by drs. and nurses who cared enough about me to recommend Dr. Arthur Katz in 2019. I had a poorly functioning heart caused by a faltering mitrol valve causing my heart to be enlarged. Dr. Katz and his wonderful nurse, Laurie, have the ultimate bedside manners. Dr. Katz is humble, kind, and, extremely skilled at his craft. I am truly fortunate. I cannot say enough good about this dynamic duo. Dr. Katz will forever be my heart surgeon!!!!! I cannot thank them enough. ???

Dr Katz performed one valve replacement and another valve rebuild. Additionally, he completed two coronary artery bypasses. The surgical scar has healed so well that it can hardly be detected. Dr Katz’s bedside manner is extraordinary and he has tremendous respect and admiration from the hospital staff.

Dr Katz is by far the best surgeon I’ve ever had . Dedication like none other as well as his office manager and wife. He literally came to see me every day sometimes twice a day while I was in intensive care . I am so fortunate to have him as my surgeon and as a physician I recommend him to all who are in need of open heart surgery. Dr Lee Funk

I’m so proud to say that I worked in the OR with Dr Katz as an RN when he was at BRRH. Without a doubt, he is one of the finest surgeons that I’ve been in a case with. This man just doesn’t give up on any of his patients no matter how grim it looks. Rest assured, if he’s your surgeon...you have a warrior by your side.

Dr. Katz saved my husbands life. My family and I will forever remember him. He is the most dedicated , trustworthy Doctor we have ever encountered. There is no other better for heart surgery than Dr. Katz. He explained everything about the procedure, kept us informed and Even checked with us at home. Very dedicated and you can see that every patient means something to him.

Dr. Katz performed open heart surgery on my Dad and I highly recommend him to any one seeking top notch cardiac surgery. His office staff Laurie is also top notch. She got us in the next day to see the doctor, kind of unheard of these days. A hands on old school operation. No recordings to listen to and no PAs to see instead of the doctor. Just the way it should be. A very caring and excellent team. This world could use a lot more people like Dr. Katz and his family. Excellent human beings!!!

In 2012, Dr. Katz performed a double bypass operation, which probably saved my life. The surgery went well and he followed up daily during my stay in the hospital. When l mentioned during a post-operation visit at his office that I was having some shortness of breath, he immediately had me go to the hospital for a diagnostic test. The test showed a build-up of fluid around my heart and Dr. Katz operated that evening to remove the fluid. I highly recommend Dr. Katz.
