Very thorough, professional, and caring.Helped me through a rare eye disorder!

At 83, I was told by my ophthalmologist, Dr. Joseph Paxhia, that I needed cataract removal, and he recommended Dr. James Katz at the Midwest Center for Sight. My only caveat was generally long wait times because of their very busy practice. I found all the staff friendly and competent, and their measuring devices far ahead of what I had previously experienced. Dr. James Katz (there is also a Richard Katz at the Center) is very personable and informative, and, as I was to learn, an incredibly gifted surgeon. I had not realized I was seeing the world through a sepia haze and a lot of astigmatic distortion. Now, several weeks later, my vision is as clear, color correct, and bright as when I was a teen-ager.

Dr James Katz is a very quick person, and I attribute it partially to the busy schedule of the practice. Some might feel a bit rushed, but despite the busyness, he answered all of my questions at every appointment, made me feel safe about the surgeries and recovery periods, and did everything with utmost precision. I had my PRK laser surgery done with Dr Katz in 2013 on both eyes after 15 years of wearing contacts, and I'm super happy to this day. It's so nice waking up every morning and seeing

I was a patient of Dr. James Katz back in 2015. I have been near-sighted for decades but never had bifocals. In my mid-40's, my eyes were changing and I was not seeing things (even close-up reading) as well as I used to. Rather than visiting my traditional optometrist, I sought a good ophthalomologist (Dr. Katz was recommended by my regular physician). While I dreaded thought of bifocals, the progressive type & his prescription turned out great & I had no problem adjusting. Thank you!

Dr Katz saw me due to an injury to my cornea. He was very kind and gentle when he examined my eye. He explained his findings and made sure I had enough of the appropriate medications and gave me additional saline to keep my eye moist. I truly appreciated his professionalism and kindness.

very personable

Dr.Katz & along with his staff, did a great job. I was in and out in a short amount of time with thorough examination. The waiting room clean and sanitized *****
