Dr. Katznelson was fantastic! I was totally impressed by the fact that he was asking more questions than I did while at the same time listening attentively. I totally appreciated his approach and explanations. It was obvious that he was taking into consideration all of my medical needs and trying to figure out what is going on in order to provide the best optimum treatment plan. Wonderful "bedside manner"!
