Dr. Anna Beth Katz, MD

Dr. Katz makes you feel as if you are her only patient. She is extremely warm and caring. She'll spend as much time with you as you need. Her knowledge of research and the way she explains to you what and why of your disease assures you that you are getting the best treatment. She also refers you to any other doctor you will need. She even gives you her cell phone number. She offers such comfort in these stressful situations and you know you will be okay under her care. I can't stress enough what a fantastic doctor she is.

Dr. Katz was so warm and friendly you felt she had a personal interest in you. You also felt assured that she would take good care of you. Highly recommend.

One of the things I look for in a doctor is a connection and the relationship I have built with Dr. Katz is one that I not only appreciate as a patient but more importantly, one that I value as a woman. Roughly ten months ago I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer; hearing those words turned my world completely off kilter -- I have always been the "strong" one, the one that held it together, took care of the "troops" and kept things moving forward, but this? This grabbed hold of me and shook me to my core - what do I do now? Who is the best oncologist? What are my options? Who coordinates chemo? Radiation? Death? Life? Statistics? Endless, endless, endless questions -- each one being patiently answered by Dr. Katz. Being part of the Dr. Katz family now (at least that is how I think about it) I am treated with respect, compassion and encouragement. Dr. Katz understands the fears, she understands being a "woman" and how information processes differently for each… of us... she is the advocate a patient needs to navigate the unyielding layers of being that "cancer patient". You will not find a more tender spirit, more knowledgeable team or a bigger advocate for your arsenal. My oncologist had told me early on in my treatment that I had been part of "tumor talk" that week and that he had specifically talked with Dr. Katz about me that morning -- I liked that I was part of some "tumor talk" - it means I have a team working on getting me healthy. I also like the fact that for Dr. Katz I am not just a "tumor" -- she knows me by name and for that, I am honored to be one of her patients. I highly recommend and have recommended her to others.

Dr. Katz is absolutely stellar in her care and treatment with every patient. She takes her time to address each and every concern, listens with genuine compassion, offers the best possible outcome for your unique situation and is a phenomenal surgeon. I had an extremely complicated case, I was told by another highly esteemed physician that Dr. Katz is the best in her field, and he was absolutely right. Besides being a skilled surgeon, she has the most fantastic bedside manner and makes you feel at ease. Her confidence and ability to skillfully map out your treatment and recovery is top notch and she is truly a pioneer in her field and specialty. I am truly blessed I was referred to her. I have referred my closest friends and family to her and they all agree, she is dynamic and one of the best Doctors you will ever meet.
