This is my second go around with Dr Katz as he stopped coming to my rural community. I was super sad to see him go, and even sadder with the Dr that replaced him. He is patient oriented and caring. Always concerned with how I’m doing. I was super glad to have him back as a Rheumatologist. He has help me with my PSA 100 fold.

Steven provides treatment in a balanced, caring and timely fashion. He is very communicative and attentive while not rushing thru the appointments. I would highly recommend him.

For me he’s been a great doctor. He was my first rheumatologist but then stopped coming to my rural community so I had to switch to another, but after the trouble I had with the other doctor I found transportation to go back to Katz. He took me back with no problems though I’d been told he probably wouldn’t reinstate me as a patient. I have a strange body that reacts very differently to treatment. He will suggest I try something but if i react badly wont push it again. I can also call anytime and update him with reactions and he’ll consult me as to what I should do next. He has a good demeanour, very kind and we work together to make me better which is so important. I really appreciate his respect of my decisions in what I can conclude works the best for my body. Thank-you very much Dr. Katz!

I started seeing Dr Katz 9 years ago after seeing another rheumatologist had me in tears & wondering if I was going crazy. Dr Katz was very patient, informative & compassionate. He explained that inflammatory arthritis cannot be diagnosed based on bloodwork alone & that 20-30% of RA patients never test positive for RF. He told me he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what I had but that based on my symptoms & joint exam I had inflammatory arthritis either RA or lupus. So he said he could put me on a medication that would treat either. Bless him. Since then he has narrowed it down to RA and while I don’t think i’ll ever be 100% pain free I am doing much better than 9 years ago. Highly recommend Dr Katz.

I have found Dr Katz to be very professional with excellent patient care and bedside manner. It’s rare to find a doctor that really remembers you and all the details that come with each individual patient. I can tell when I go to see him that he has familiarized himself with all of my recent blood work, documentation and our previous conversations and concerns. He is always on time. Having RA is a scary diagnosis for a young person. It has completely changed my life and through it all dr Katz remains positive and is committed to getting me back to 100%. He keeps me positive. I also really like that he takes his time to answer all my questions and explain all the medical jargon to me in detail. He makes me feel like a partner in my own medical care. Feel super lucky to have been referred to him years ago.
