      Doctor Katz shows a personal care that my former primary providers did not show, a refreshing change of practice.

      Since I called in with unwell condition, the only available doctor was Dr Katz. My primary had no openings the next day. Katz was able to quickly get an overview of my past medical history and was able to narrow down what the next steps were. After test results she was able to anction appropriately.

      The geriatric clinic takes time, knows its patients, and knows answers to every question I have had. This clinic, and particularly Dr. Katz, has provided the best care I have had anywhere before. I feel very lucky to be a patient of the clinic.

    Please check with your health insurance plan regarding coverage for this type of care. Not all providers at UCSF Health are covered by every insurance plan.
