    He is a very nice doctor. He knows Englishe is not my mother language. He slowed down his speaking speed. He explained my symptoms and treatment methods in detail in simple and easy-to-understand terms, making me feel very comfortable and able to accept his treatment with confidence. He is the second doctor I met will spend time to listen my description about my symptoms and in encourage me trying to communicate in English. Thanks. Dr. Katz.
