June 27, 2025MORAN EYE CENTERDr. Katz is the best there is. I would recommend him to anyone who only wants a surgeon who is caring, compassionate, explains the procedure as he does the surgery, and puts you at ease immediately. I was so grateful to have him as my surgeon and will always recommend him to others for the best results possible. Five star rating across the board.
