"My first impression of my Dr was that he was very skilled and knowledgable and knew how to convey that. He also made sure that he imparted his patients, my sister and I, with enough information to make us feel very comfortable with our choice to use him as our surgeon. After my surgery he impressed me even more. He called me several times at home to make sure I was okay. Scolded me (very nicely) when had a common complication and I hesitated to call him because it was too early on a Sunday morning. When I did call around 9am he had just left the hospital but jumped right into action. Was always familiar with my condition and where I was at. When my sister had her surgery a few months after mine, she had a far less common complication but he was very diligent in finding out what was going on a took prompt and proper care of her. When we again had to call him at an odd hour you could hear faintly in the background that he was probably having family time (kids giggling). He beat us to the hospital. He also consulted on a patient that was next to my sister in the ER on his off day. He was always EXTREMELY caring, kind, and just WOW on the bedside manner....AWESOME!!!!!!!!I have nothing negative to say about him or his staff...they were amazing. His surgical competence and bedside manner were both remarkable. My sisters' and I are grateful for the care we received and all I can say is he is EXCELLENT as for the Center of Excellence that he is part of. St John Health System, Oakland Hospital. Where they exemplify having \"A Passion for Healing.\""
"There aren't enough adjectives to describe the warm wonderful feeling I had while there. The staff was awesome and I even more comforted with all the positive reviews the staff gave regarding my surgeon, Dr. Katz. They also gave me a wealth of knowledge without it being too much."
