Dr. Laurie Katz is a GREAT Doctor! Since I been in her care, she has went above and beyond to help me and make me feel comfortable in my leg injury. She referred me to the best teams for psychical therapy, bone doctor and makes a commitment to check on my progress frequently. Whenever I have a question or concern she calls me after hours to listen and gives me the best feedback. I truly appreciate her because it can be hard to find a doctor who cares for you the way Dr. Laurie Katz does for her patients. I am glad to be in her care!

She always takes her time to make sure that I have all of my questions answered. She never makes me feel rushed. She wasn’t quick to push surgery, but let me know that it might be an option if I’m not getting better. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Dr. Katz is the best specialist that I've ever met. She listens to everything you have to say, answers all questions, asks excellent questions, gives it to you straight, explains all options and isn't pushing for surgical solutions where they are unwarranted..
