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.

So grateful for dr Katz getting us in same day when my son was sick

Dr Katz is incredible and we have been coming since our children were born. He is thorough in his care and exams. My sons are always looking forward to see him. If I send him a message I get immediate response. He explains the treatment options and benefits and his rationale of treatment choices so I can understand. My prescriptions are usually ready as soon as I leave my appointment. We are fortunate to have Dr katz for our kids

Gentle, humorous and competent doctor. 10/10
I have three children and we moved to Elk Grove in 2020. Andrew Katz has been our pediatrician since then. On the positive side, he is a great doctor with a gentle and humorous bedside manner that my children love. They actually enjoy going to the doctor to see Dr. Katz which is a blessing in itself if you are a parent.On the negative side, he is quite busy because he is in demand and so you may have a hard time getting an appointment and you may wait to see him on days when there are many patients in the office.From my perspective the tradeoff was worth it. We are moving this year and I will be very sad to have to find a new pediatrician. We've been very lucky these past three years to have him as our doctor.

Dr.Katz has really made an impact [...]. She is never nervous or scared when she knows it's going to be him that is seeing her. In fact all of my daughters love Dr.Katz. He provides great information and gains the trust of the kids to where they are comfortable responding to his questions without parental help. I appreciate the manner in which he explains to the girls what they need to do to take an active part of their own care. One of the. Most knowledgeable and kind doctors around!

He was good at the beginning. We thought it was going to be a good experience and we shared a lot of the same beliefs. He was great but then we had a horrible experience with him. He went from being very calm and caring explaining everything to our baby and being gentle to manhandling him as he was training a new doctor. Our baby cried the whole time he was examining him and he could care less. It all happened so fast. Our regret was not confronting him and walking out right there. We were in total shock. Never came back to him. It was a shame because the staff is very friendly and very little to no wait time when you show up to visits.

Dr. Katz is so kind and patient. He talks to my children, which I never saw my last Pediatrition do. The kids love going there, even when they are sick because he makes them feel important. Also great wait time, barely sit down for 5 min before we are in our examine room. Thanks Dr. Katz and staff!
