I've had numerous doctors over the years and I have to say that Dr Cathey is the best I've had! The times, I've had to go in for an appointment, Dr. Cathey has been very good at diagnosing my aliment or condition and has always provided answers to all of my questions with a calm and professional demeanor. The one thing that I feel helps tremendously is that he knows when to weave in humor to help calm the patient and allow for a pleasant experience.I would not hesitate at all to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a doctor.

Dr. Cathey listens, cares, understands and is there for you! What more can you expect of a doctor? They are not God. They are human. And as far as doctors go - he is awesome. He is genuine!How many doctors can you say that about today?
