I was very happy with Dr Katirji after my first appointment with him. He was supposed to follow up in setting an appointment for an MRI. Heard nothing. Called several times. Office staff very nice, but still no action from Dr Katirji. Had to call again. Finally he followed up. Had the MRI done. Finding out results was like pulling teeth. Many calls. It took at least 3 to get a call back. Then, he said he wanted to schedule another test. I agreed. He said he would call back after speaking to my insurance company to gain agreement. Never heard again. After many weeks, I called his office again to find out what in the world was going on? I never heard back from Katirji and I consequently gave up on him. Absolutely zero follow up on his part. If you want frustration to add to whatever issues you are seeing him for ... He's a good choice. Never again for me.
