February 24, 2025MORAN EYE CENTERHe's very good
February 22, 2025MORAN EYE CENTERI appreciate the care I have received at the Moran Eye Center and specifically Dr Katz who provides excellent monitoring of his patientsÕ conditions of the eyes and their unique problems. He puts patients at ease, knowing they are in good hands.
February 22, 2025MORAN EYE CENTERDr Katz was the first person to correlate migraines on my vision. Also was the first doctor to ever get a prescription that was clear and not fuzzy for me and was starting to think that I was crazy and didnÕt know how to explain myself to the doctors.
February 21, 2025MORAN EYE CENTERDr. Katz was very understanding he listened. He answered questions. I was very impressed with him. He had good side manners. He was very nice and took a lot of time with me and did not rush me at all at the door.
February 17, 2025MORAN EYE CENTERHe is truly a caring and careful Dr. Over the many years under his care I have been send to 3 other eye specialists with expertise in retina and glaucoma. He always puts my care where he feels I should be and takes care of general eye care and cataract surgery with expertise.
February 17, 2025MORAN EYE CENTERIf youÕre looking for an ophthalmologist whoÕs on the cutting edge of eye health and care, and is involved in the latest research projects, AND is meticulous in his exams and evaluations, look no further. When other doctors in the same field, highly respected themselves give another doctor props, you know youÕre in the right hands. He surrounds himself with great supporting doctors and staff. Follow-up visits are treated as assiduously as was the initial consultation. You get the feeling, bolstered by the actual care you receive, that your health, in this case, vision, is a collaborative effort with one of the finest doctors and staff available. You get that feeling because itÕs true! Great care, top-notch doctor and staff.
