Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

An absolute LOOSER. Avoid this dope at all costs. Made our Autistic daughter wait over FOUR HOURS due to his habitual lateness. He just don't care!

Dr. Katlowitz is my physician, and I am very happy with him. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. I read many negative reviews about his mannerism or comments. First I want to say after the first visit and after he gets to know you that you will definitely be more comfortable with him. He is honest and gets right to the point. He once told me that if he did not act the way he does is that patients will not listen to him to maintain a healthy status. This is why he may come off sarcastic and blunt. Second, I do not care what his mannerisms are. If he is knowledgeable and knows what he’s doing, this is what I really care about. Thank you Dr Kat

Dr Katlowitz saved my life! I am a 70 year old woman that was diagnosed with a stubborn stone, turned septic and had a multitude of complications. This man is the most professional, compassionate and skilled surgeon/,doctor I have ever known. Dr. Wolfowitz has helped me in more ways than I can say. He is good in his field and told as a human being! Thank you for everything!

Dr katlowitz is the best. December of 2015 I was in bad shape, a few hours of dying from a kidney stone that was causing me to go septic. Dr. Katlowitz was the kidney specialist that was on call that day and saved my life. 2 years later still my doctor and helping me withmy kidney stone issues. Thank you for being there that day.

This doctor is quite an unpleasant person, to the point of where his behavior borders on sadism. He is arrogant, and he luxuriates on the vanity of his own self-conceit. He treated me with contempt. When I was awaiting the results of several tests that would have ruled out a serious cancer, even though the results were in, his staff refused to tell me the findings; I had to actually book another appointment almost two weeks later, before I was given the (good) news that I was cancer free.
