Dr Katz has been following me since the late 90s for diabetic eye exams among other issues dealing with migraines and my stroke. I was very happy when I found out he would do my cataract surgery. He has also treated my severe dry eye. I have never had a more competent and caring Ophthalmologist in my life. I started seeing these Drs at 13 and I am now in my late 60s kudos Dr Katz
