Dr. Katz is a very knowledgeable doctor. He likes to educate his patients so they can understand what is going on with them as well. He cares about his patients and takes the time they need. THEY DO NOT OVER BOOK!!! What people need to realize is, he is a specialist. There are a limited amount of doctors that specialize in the same medical field within this and the surrounding location. Meaning, they have MANY patients everyday. They could rush patients in and out. However, the quality of care would dramatically decrease. I have been seeing different specialists for my eyes for 27 years. I understand the demand and the wait that comes along with them. If they didn't care, you wouldn't be waiting so long. You are waiting because they do care about their patients. They want to make you better! That takes time, and every person is different. They don't know if your appointment will take 10 minutes or 2 hours. They take the time they need once you arrive. And, yes, they get backed up closer to the end of the day because they have seen more patients. A handful of these patients have taken more of their time than expected. Don't be rude or disgruntled at a long wait in a specialists office. Be thankful you are able to get quality specialized care to begin with. Not everyone is able to do so. In the grand scheme of things, a long wait is nothing in comparison to your health. But if you hate waiting, schedule early appointments. By the way, this is all coming from a very impatient person. I just understand the demand of qualified specialists, the pressure they are under, and truly appreciate the care they give!
There are only two neuro-opthamologists in the city of Columbus and Dr. Katz is the better of the two for several reasons. Dr. Katz is easiest to get in to see. He takes less time to see you during your appointment (Dr. Epstein will keep you at his office for 6 hrs). He is a competent practioner, albeit kind of a busy body, but you can understand why. He handles emergencies well and looks out for his patients.
