Dr. Katz removed a neuroendocrine tumor from my pancreas. It was successful, I am cancer free and he helped me improve my overall health. I think he is concerned with your overall health, not just your specific area of cancer. He communicated very well with me and my husband, he answered all of our questions made everything very clear.

Going in for a small bowel resection that Dr Katz will perform this week. I have been very impressed with his approach to my surgery. He has crossed all the t's and dotted the i's with the preparations. He has spent time with me to explain what he will be doing. He has involved other professionals and surgeons to make sure there is a great team surrounding me. He has my appreciation and admiration.

I came all the way from Tennessee to be treated for pancreatic cancer and not only was he a brilliant surgeon but a great bedside manner and always felt like I was his one and only patient and never felt like he was in a hurry and no question was dumb or stupid even if I asked the same question multiple times. Thanks Dr. Katz for saving my life.
