I have been a long time patient of Dr. Howard Katz. When we meet about 7+ years ago, I had been suffering from some form of chest infection that left me in coughing attacks. His professionalism, expertise, kindness, and caring finally uncovered some underlining issues, and got a working concoction of drugs to finally get me healthy, where several other dr.'s and antibiotics did not work.
