I have known Dr. Katcher since 1990 or 1991 when I had to change doctors. I asked for a caring doctor. Dr. Katcher certainly fits that bill BIG TIME. In the last couple of years, I have had some major health problems. Dr. Katcher not only helped me but also kept in touch with my sister to see how I was doing. Because of Dr. Katcher's care and compassion, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

Dr. Katcher has been my and my wife's doctor for 21 years and we love her. We have moved twice since and now live in CT, but have stayed with her. Dr. Katcher is worth the drive. To have some as competent and caring as her be our primary care physician in this day and age is a rarity. She is always accessible, warm, caring and spends as much time as is needed with us. We hope she never retires!

Dr. Katcher is an amazing doctor whose knowledge and bedside manner exceed all expectations. The only problem with Dr. Katcher is her schedule since she only works part-time. However, the wait and treatment are well worth it. We would recommend Dr. Katcher to anyone who is looking for an accurate diagnostician and caring doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Katcher for several years and am very pleased. She always spends time listening to my concerns and I never feel like I'm being rushed, or that she is not interested in my problem. I have never had to wait more than 20 minutes to get in after arrival at the office. On one or two occasions I had very minor problems to see her about, but she always welcomes my visit and never downplays my concerns. So far I have not had any major medical issues, but my dealings with Dr. Katcher so far have all been very positive.

Dr. Katcher is simply not in the office enough. She works part time, and every time I've needed to see her in the past two years, I've been sent to one of the partner doctors in her group (all very good). I was also disappointed that she would not speak or collaborate with the specialist I was seeing.
