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.

Inappropriate touch
I was pregnant back in 1999 and he “HAD TO DO A BREAST EXAM” and he was doing it and got so close to my face!! And when he did an exam of my Uterus he always touched my cliltoris! I have lived with this for 22 years and am so traumatized by this! PLEASE anyone else feel this way??

Dr Kattenhorn has been my gynecologist for many years. He has always been professional and caring. He is retiring in August and I now have to find another Dr. It will be difficult to find anyone who compares. I wish him well in the next chapter of his life.

I was very uncomfortable during the pelvic exam. I feel like he touched me in ways that I do not feel were appropriate, he did not need to spread lube onto my labia -- he could have put it on the speculum. He did not need to wipe me down after he was done, I am usually handed a towel, I'm a grown woman. He also did not tell me when he put his fingers inside of me or when he put the speculum inside of me. It is very uncomfortable for anyone in this position and any doctor should know to walk a patient through their exam. I left feeling very confused about what had happened to me and felt very uncomfortable with the lack of communication and frivilous touching of my body. Very unprofessional and would not recommend that anyone see this doctor.

I could not ask for a better doctor than Dr. Kattenhorn. He is thorough, professional, courteous, and a highly skilled and knowledgeable doctor. I am very thankful for the excellent medical care and good advice he has given me the last 39 years.

Dr. Kattenhorn takes the time to listen to you, the issues you are having and then recommend your best options. He is very supportive of his patients and their fierce advocate if you are in labor. He will be greatly missed when he retires in the Fall.

I had 4 surgeries this year 2 foot, 1 knee and a hysterectomy. My hysterectomy performed by Dr Kattenhorn was the smoothest, least amount of pain and recovery. I am beyond pleased. He's very knowledgeable, funny, makes you feel comfortable, hes very easy to talk to and not feel silly about my questions. Plus his staff is amazing and friendly. They all go above and beyond. You feel more like part of the family than just another patient. Highly recommend him. I'm sad he's retiring this yea
