If you have ever seen someone who is blind try to function in this world we live in, you would understand the importance of your vision. Dr Katz & his supporting staff at Wills Eye are among the best professionals specializing in glaucoma. I am so grateful to have such great care!

Dr Katz saved my sight. He examined me and knew exactly what I needed and was very quick to tell me what had to happen to avoid blindness. He is calm, thoughtful and a super skilled surgeon. I always leave his appointments feeling that I am in the best hands. His entire staff in the office is super nice and I have never run into one dismissive person there. The staff works very hard and they are extremely compassionate and thoughtful. If you have a serious eye problem and are nervous and anxious about it , go see Dr Katz. and his team. You will leave knowing that your vision really matters to him.

Dr Katz is very caring and kind. He is focused on you and your problem. After seeing 7 other doctors, he had my problem diagnosed in 5 minutes! He is a true professional. The office was full of patients. I felt the 1 hr wait time was not bad at all. This wait time was the exception, not the rule. While walking to my appointment, my shoe broke. The staff kindly offerred me an extra pair of shoes they had. Where else do you see a doctor's office staff do that? Great experience.
