My son (6 years old) has seen Dr.Katz a few times at the Harrison location. Dr. Katz spoke to my son in a rude tone and was very sarcastic (with a child) I said to him "I understand you might be having a bad day but cchange how you're speaking to my son, it's very rude". He then said "I was just talking to him"
Later that evening, I received a phone call from Dr. Katz apologized for his behavior because he realized it was not very nice. I was happy that he took accountability and decided to go back. We went back in January 2023, everything was fine.
Today, 10/3/2023 we see Dr.Katz at the Yonkers location. Dr. Katz enters the room, I am sitting in the chair watching Dr. Katz, my son is sitting in the patient chair and he begins to touch the equipment- I immediately tell my son to stop and Dr. Katz smacks my son on his arm RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!! I couldn't believe it. "DID YOU JUST HIT MY SON?" I asked in complete disbelief! His response was, "No, I brushed his arm" LIES!!!
The energy in the room immediately changed. I am in shock and disbelief. The mother in me was ready to turn the whole office up but the professional in me knows there are other ways to handle this. I promise you it took everything in me to remain calm and level headed.
I am writing this review at 9pm on 10/3/2023. No call, No apology, No accountability. Not that it would make it okay. Dr. Katz was completely wrong and out of line!!!
