Dr. Katzenstein was very thorough and explained things very well. He asked questions and listened to what I had to say. He was also empathetic to my suffering.

I like this Doctor. Distinction between good and very good not really relevant for me.

The doctor did a brief exam, asked a few questions and using AI, printed out 2 documents and handed them to me and said I can read about it. He then said it will take 3-4 months, working nights and weekends to write his report and asked for a list of referring physicians to send the report to. Upon leaving the clinic after my 15-20 minute meeting, my husband and I read through handouts. Unfortunately, many of the described symptoms of possible diagnosis handout are not anything I am experiencing. We are hoping that upon further review my of my imaging, labs and other tests performed prior to this visit, it will be more helpful.
