    I know that my eye problems are routine to Dr. Katz, but they are not routine to me. I would appreciate eye contact and expressed interest in my diagnosis and treatment. Reassurance would be nice. I spent less that 7 minutes with him, and felt like he was eager to move on.

    The doctor was very caring. Was a very bad experience with him. The nurse did most of the work for me.

      I like Doctor Katz care he gives. I was also seeing another eye surgeon in Lexington. Dr. Katz made me more comfortable about my eye condition. I am dropping the other eye surgeon.

      He's a great doc. That's why I've stuck with him even though he sometimes gets way behind. He spent a lot of time on me when I had a cornea melt.

      I really like Dr Katz and appreciate his care. What really bothers me is sitting in the exam room for over an hour waiting on him, with no explanation nor apology for the delay. No one came in during this entire time to inform my that there was going to be a delay. Totally UNACCEPTABLE!!!
