Review for Dr. Barclay
Dr Katz is very personable. She takes time to listen and discuss all areas of health without sounding condescending or judgmental. She offers real life solutions and listens to what I think will or won’t work for me. She’s thorough and does what she says. A good visit with good follow up.

Dr Barclay has been my Dr since his first year of residency. He is like a part of my family. He knows myself and my children, now my grandchildren's health. He's very understanding and caring! We've been blessed to have him care for our medical needs.
