I was caregiver for my mother that passed in December of 2012 and still am for my sister with downs syndrome going to the doctor was such a dreaded experience. We would sit in the waiting room for hours, getting lab results was impossible. We were extremely frustrated, I have limited time because I am a small business owner as well. I reached out to a friend that happens to be a physicians wife and she recommended Doctor Katz. I made an appointment and could not believe what pleasant experience it was. The staff actually cared about her and our questions were answered they called quickly with lab results. I felt rich like I had won the lottery! I switched my sister and myself over to doctor Katz immediately as well. Over the years mom was in and out of the hospital doctor Katz was always there for us day or night never making us feel as though we were a bother no matter when I would have to call. When she became a MDVIP doctor she knew my sister was a limited income so she continued to car for her under what she calls a scholarship. My son became ill two years ago with MS she saw him right away and made sure he was pointed in the right direction even though he was not her patient. She admitted him and cared for him. Life is not easy being a caregiver but having doctor Katz in our life makes it so much more easily handled. She always fills out whatever forms I need and helps in any way she can. We don't just have her for a doctor she truly is a friend that we can count on.
