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.

Ran in and out of room without answering my questions. Felt like I inconvenienced him. Terrible experience

After spending the time and money to get a new MRI, CAT Scan and EMG even though I had one that was only five months old I shown up for an office visit to review the new test. He stood in the doorway of the room I was in and asked me if thought about spinal fusion. Nothing was said about the test and the meeting only lasted about 7 or 8 minutes with him not offering to do anything for me. I left away feeling that I had been used to help the salaries of the people that performed the test and the hospital expenses. Although I have no proof I believe he got money put in his pocket as part of a kickback scam. My five month old MRI should have been sufficient for his purposes.

I am so grateful to have Dr. Katz as my orthopedic surgeon. He is an amazing Doctor, compassionate, caring and truly cares about his patients and giving them the best outcome regarding their care. I have been a patient of his for approximately 3 years and would recommend him to anyone needing a orthopedic surgeon. Also I would like to mention his staff who I adore. They are so professional and caring also and make you feel like family. So grateful for all of you. Thank you for being there.

Dr Katz has worked wonders on my husband for spinal stenosis. He wasn't able to walk more than a few feet before he had to sit down to relieve the pain. Now thanks to Dr. Katz my husband is able to enjoy life again. Thank you Dr. Katz
