Mr. Michael Katz

Always helps me, and he is a wonderful person, I'm never nervous to see Dr. Kats, even when I have to have those huge shots in my ankle, he is amazing.

I had a chronic corn Also pains in my arch Dr katz treated my problems. He has a great manner and is highly skilled. Nice office staff.

Professional, gentle and awesome!

Gave a snap diagnosis of tendinitis, did not do a thorough examination, did not give any written information about exercises I was supposed to do. He was in a big hurry. It turned out that exercise was the worse thing I could have done because a later exam by another podiatrist, which included an x-ray (duh) and MRI, showed tears in the tendon and multiple fractures. Be warned!!!

Dr. Katz is not only well educated, knowledgable and confident of what he practices, but he is easy going and has the best bed side manner. He was so interested in my progress post-op that he gave me his personal cell phone number in the event that something was wrong or if I just 'had a question'?! Who does that? No one I know. I actually did have to call him once because I got my dressing wet and didn't know what to do. He was out with his family but took my call, didn't rush me and explained exactly what I needed to do. His work is exception! I had a bunion-ectomy preformed on both feet. Both surgeries took approximately 45-55minutes to preform and I walked out of both of them. Never had any pain and went about my normal way of life from that moment on. I did have to sit with my feet up to reduce swelling and wear those HIDEOUS booties for 8-10 weeks, but that was the worst of it. He also is NOT one to immediately jump into surgery. He didn't want me to do my other foot… 'you can wait… it's no rush.' was his answer to me. The fact that he wasn't scissor happy to cut me open made me want to get this done. His staff is courteous, easy going, helpful, kind, friendly. The staff at the Jamaica Surgical Center was FANTASTIC! It was the best experience I've had regarding surgery. Dr. Katz also corrected my friends foot problems that another doctor caused. So he is without doubt a doctor that knows what he is doing and is excited about his work. GO SEE HIM if you have any questions or foot related problems. You won't be disappointed.
