Patient Comments
Not sure of the exact cause of my condition. Dr. Katz ordered another EMG that he is scheduling personally with his preferred doctor. Waiting to hear date.
It was my second visit with this doctor and all he does is type on the computer about my situation without really asking about my situation or explaining in details so I can understand properly. The only thing he does is prescribe me medication and tells me to come back in six months.
Dr Katz very good in all respects, professional, friendly, concerned
We can't say enough positive things about Dr. Paul Katz. He is so patient, kind, and understanding of our situation.
Dr Katz and Staff very professional. Dr Katz and Staff able to answer our questions and give suggestions for future care,
