Dr. Kate is a very good physician . I went to him because of chest pain and found out I had a very healthy heart . It is not always easy to walk in and be seen immediately, but considering that heart disease in this area is common, that is really to be expected. He is very good in his field , that is why he is in such great demand to get appointments. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He takes the time to explain procedures and tests to you. He made me feel very much at ease as a patient.

MY wife had a high pulse rate seen Dr.K who prescribed medication to slow heart rate. Told my with to go see primary care doctor to get blood test. Said he would call him to tell him what tests to do. Why couldn't he just write out the scripe? Primary care Doctor just ordered a CBC which did not uncover the problem. Took my wife to a different cardiologist who had a blood test done that revealed her problem was not her heart by her thyroid. Was referred to an endocrinologist who gave her the proper medication. She was told if she remained on the medication Dr. K prescribed it could have seriously damaged her heart. Stay far away from this guy he's all money and no medicine.

greedy dr kate is the reason my wife is no longer around. he was told to remove the heart monitor as my wife did not need it ,the 2 dr i knew asked him and he refused. my wife fell over the wires on sept 19/ 2004 , eyes were black from the fall at community medical center. my dr were discharging my wife on sept , 18, 2004 but greedy dr kate wanted 3 more days of fees . after the fall the montor was removed, too late my wife never recovered. GREEDY DR KATE I DID NOT AUTHORIZE HIM, HE JUST HAD THE ER DR PUT ON THE NOT NEEDED MONITOR WHICH MY 2 DR ASKED TO HAVE IT REMOVED
