Steven Katz Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr Katz saved my life. I was in suicidal agony and he got right to the Genesis of my pain ....he got me started on biologics thank the Lord. I am very thankful for him. I would still be suffering

Dr. Katz is a wonderful doctor. He goes above and beyond to help. He even took the time and did a follow up call on Dec. 24. He is very knowledgeable and has been very helpful.

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.

Dr. Katz is solution oriented and quickly responded to my RA issues. He is personable, easy to talk to and takes time to inform and answer questions.

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.

Can’t imagine having a better Doctor. Wonderful communicator and provides excellent treatment for my RA. I’m very thankful to have been referred to 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.

Useless doctor. I was on Enbrel for my RA and did not have coverage. All this doctor needed to do was fill out the paperwork for me to get coverage through blue cross. He refused and I ended up paying thousands of dollars out of pocket for the drug. I moved to Calgary and saw a new rheumatologist who did not understand why I was paying. She filled out the paperwork and got coverage right away. Terrible and incompetent doctor. Would never recommend him.
