Richard L Katz's Online Review Report Card

I highly recommend Dr. Katz!! I had a total hip replacement and could not be happier with the results. My surgery was complicated because I had pins in my hip from a surgery done while I was in jr. high. Dr. Katz took time before the surgery to explain how he would deal with the pins and possible complications. He and his staff gave incredibly thorough preparation for the surgery through a 2 hour class and pre-surgery appointments. My case worker called me and checked up on me faithfully. Dr. Katz not only spoke to my husband post surgery, but came up to my hospital room after surgery so see how I was doing. He personally called me at home the night of the surgery. Following the surgery, my hip feels fantastic! I have had very little pain and have regained flexibility and motion that I never imagined would be possible. I am so grateful for the care I received! Dr. Katz is kind and caring and a very skilled surgeon! I give him my highest recommendation! He is excellent!

I have experience with Dr Katz going back 25 years when I was pregnant with my son and suffering from heal pain. Moving forward I have had 2 knee replacements with him and have recovered quickly and pain free with the exception of "normal healing pain." I followed his recommendation of pre-op strengthening and worked with the post op physical therapist as per their recommendations. In doing so I am able to not only get back to yoga but have no pain restricting my daily life. Dr Katz is great!

He is experienced and easy to talk to.l He informed me I needed a total hip replacement and it was scheduled quite quickly. I went in on a Friday and came home the very next day. I had no pain at all after surgery and by three weeks I was not using crutches or canes or walkers. I never even was black and blue. He did a fantastic job and if I need anything else like hips or knees I will definitely go back to Dr. Katz.

Dr. Katz is an excellent surgeon. I had a Total (L) Hip Replacement. I chose Dr. Katz because of his expertise and his abilities. He is very direct and to the point. More importantly, he is an extremely skilled surgeon. I would highly recommend him.

Had Total hip replacement 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. No pain from surgery just stiff muscles. Dr. Katz is the best from beginning to end!

I have been seeing Dr. Katz for more than eight years for knee arthritis. The eight years included knee injections to elevate pain (which they did) and surgery to remove a cyst and repair a torn maniscus. Recovery from surgery was rapid and was back to my regular activity in ten days. I highly recommend Dr. Katz to anyone having knee problems.

Dr. Katz replaced my knee 4 months ago. My recovery was slow and painful, but I am convinced it was due to my physiology and inability to take anti-inflammatory drugs. Physical therapy seemed to keep things in a painful holding pattern for me. I have to say that I feel Dr. Katz did a great job on the surgery. In contrast to the person who complained that Dr. Katz didn't provide adequate pain medication, he encouraged me to begin taking it again after I stopped very early on, as he knew I was having great difficulty sleeping. I am improving more and more each week. There is no silver bullet for our problems as we age, and each of our bodies is different and responds to surgery and healing in its own unique way. Dr. Katz and his staff, particularly his patient assistant Meegan, did very well by me and I would recommend them and use them again.

HAVE KNOW DR KATZ FOR OVER 30 YEARS, MY MAIN GUY TO GO TO, REPLACED MY LEFT KNEE AND WAS ABLE TO LEARN THE HOSPITAL ON THE 2ND DAY, PROFESSIONAL IN ALL ASPECTS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Not only is Dr. Katz a skilled physician, he's a genuinely nice man.

I had a great experience with Dr. Katz. Their office is very busy for a reason....they’re good! My primary doctor said X-ray showed I had arthritis in my hip causing my alignment to be off and give me pain when walking. Nope! Dr Katz reviewed X-ray and said I didn’t have arthritis but rather tendinitis. He gave me a cortisone shot and that was the first relief I’ve had in months! He was professional, courteous and very helpful. I highly recommend this practice.
