    I like Doctor Katz care he gives. I was also seeing another eye surgeon in Lexington. Dr. Katz made me more comfortable about my eye condition. I am dropping the other eye surgeon.

    He's a great doc. That's why I've stuck with him even though he sometimes gets way behind. He spent a lot of time on me when I had a cornea melt.

      Dr. Katz, while being very busy and in high demand, is ALWAYS willing to spend the time in discussing any and every question we have. He also takes every precaution to administer the best care for me! Very thankful for him.

      Dr. Katz tends to speak low and was often hard for my wife and I to understand him fully. He seemed more speak fast also.

      I really like Dr Katz and appreciate his care. What really bothers me is sitting in the exam room for over an hour waiting on him, with no explanation nor apology for the delay. No one came in during this entire time to inform my that there was going to be a delay. Totally UNACCEPTABLE!!!
