I saw Dr Katz once. I had just gotten my dental insurance and did not have a dentist,so I chose him based on the fact that he was covered by plan and could see me the same day. I was in extreme pain because of recurrent mouth ulcers and needed help with treating not only the immediate pain,which made it impossible to eat solids or speak; but in determining the cause so that could be addressed. He was dismissive, rude, insensitive. He applied a topical anesthetic which he said would create a barrier to protect the area while it healed and prevent further damage from a dental appliance installed permanently. I also have TMJ, which worsened the condition. The gel he applied burned so badly I writhed in pain and was crying immediately. He said it would last 8-10 hours, so that I could return to work that same day, It fell off WHILE I WAS STILL there in the office. As it was a Friday, he was more concerned with his weekend plans,telling me to call for another appointment on Monday. When he left, his car was parked next to mine. He saw me in my car, crying. I have never been treated so shabbily by a dentist.I would NEVER recommend this dentist.
