Dr. Patricia Alison Farber-Katz, MD

Ohhh gosh...! I am so glad to have a doctor like her! It took me a while to find someone who is knowledgeable, carrying & compassionate about her patients.. I was five months pregnant and had a big polyp that caused me a lot of bleeding... I had to change 3docs because none of them knew what to do with that - btw all of them had great reviews and abt 30y of experience lol) ... Dr. Katz decided to remove it and for the first time I was at ease ..I placed my trust in her the second I talked to her... Procedure lasted few minutes... I had no bleeding and my baby was perfectly fine! This was such a relief...from that moment she won my heart ?! The rest of the pregnancy was a breeze... I was lucky enough to have a baby delivered by her and let me tell you...she was beyond wonderful! She put me at ease...she was my cheerleader and doctor at the same time! She made me laugh too?? My angel! My friend had a baby delivered by her and also...nothing but amazing experience! One more thing.... … my previous docs were really pushy to do genetic testing and made me feel guilty when I refused it...Dr. Katz is not like that! She explained everything and respected my decision without making me feeling "quilty"! When it comes to office visits... I had to wait for her only once for 40minutes...but even if I would have to wait 3h I would not complain because she is a doc worth waiting for! And if she runs really late...you must understand that she might have emergency situations...so pls don't complain for no reason ;)

rude, condescending and unprofessional; should not be practicing in the medical field.

Unfortunately, I had high expectations for Dr Katz and those expectations were not met. I was blown away by her condescending and preachy nature. She did not answer my medical questions at all and blew them off. I will not be seeing or speaking with her again.

I love Dr Katz, but when your office is running over an hour and a half behind a courtesy call would be nice. I don’t have time to sit in a waiting room for an 45 minutes (after arriving early) and then another 45 just waiting to be seen. It’s called mutual respect. I respect your time. Please respect mine.

Dr. Katz was my doctor for both of my pregnancies. I stayed with her for my second pregnancy even after moving to suburbs and the location was far away for us. I can no recommend her enough! She a no-nonsense doctor and provided excellent care! Most importantly, the delivery with her was smooth. I felt both safe and lucky to be in her hands. Thank you Dr. Katz. We love you! DD

I wouldn't even give one star if I wasn't required to. She is the WORST doctor. I have nothing positive to say about her. She is rude, abrasive and not friendly. She was late for my appointment, never once followed up on my results, didn't reply back to my questions through the online portal and denied testing me for something I asked her to - which I didn't know about until I got the bill. She is awful, go somewhere else.

Dr. Katz knows what she's doing, but has horrible bedside manner. She's not very patient and doesn't take the time to answer any questions. I've met with her almost 10 times and I'm not sure if she's ever asked me if I had any questions because she's usually rushing out the door. I always feel rushed and don't feel like I receive thorough care after I see her. When I ask her questions, it doesn't seem like she takes the time to listen to what I'm saying and provide a thorough answer. I'll usually get a generic answer that she can quickly spit out, and frankly, she doesn't directly answer my questions. She also doesn't provide a lot of information when she's measuring me and such. I'll have to ask her each time what the measurements were. One point when I asked her about types of exercises/work out during pregnancy, she literally said, "I don't care what you do..." She's definitely NOT the doctor you want to have for your first pregnancy. I tried switching to another doctor in the same… group, but the scheduling lady told me there is some absurd office policy (found NOWHERE) about switching doctors within practice during pregnancy. I'm definitely going to switch doctors after delivery.

I moved to chicago and was very hesitant to switch docs. Dr. K is amazing, she is so sweet, and gives you VERY thorough information on what you are there for. I have intense medical history and she always makes sure she covers all bases- its comforting.Also.. she has all the equip. in her office right there. Ultrasound, blood lab, ANYTHING. So its nice to not have to come back to a diff location and its a one-stop-shop.I have never had a problem with this office, and feel much better after making the switch.

I was referred to Dr. Katz by a friend, and I'm extremely glad that I listened. Since the first appointment, Dr. Katz was very pleasant and listened carefully to what I had to say. She took note of what I said (since it was my first time with her) and asked questions about my previous doctor. She is very sweet and has superb bedside manner. I feel tremendously comfortable with her, and she knows what she's doing. The waiting time for my last appointment was 1 hour, and even though I don't like waiting that long, it was completely forgotten after I walked out. She's definitely one of the best doctors all around.

Amazing, caring, and a fabulous OBGYN, I reccomend her to anyone and everyone
