"As unpleasant as the nature of a visit of this sort may be, Dr Katsman and staff are very good, and made it much better experience than i had expected. They also laughed at my jokes."
"I had a very positive experience. Everyone from the nurses to the anesthesiologist and the doctor made me relaxed for my procedure. I will definitely go back for my next procedure in the future."
"Everyone was patient and professional. Dr. Katsman listened to me and asked lots questions. I felt heard and seen. I appreciated his advice and insight. Very pleased!"
"Dr. Katsman is an exceptional and an extraordinary medical doctor who genuinely cares about his patients and staff. He actively listens to his patients, and has always provided an accurate diagnosis, and has always been decisive in providing a care plan. I've seen Dr. Katsman for 20 years. He exemplifies professionalism at its finest. Thank you Dr. Katsman."
"Very attentive, concerned, and thorough service - regarding both consultation with doctor as well as most of the office staff. (would suggest, however, that one of the representatives behind the front desk helping to check patients in would refrain from blowing his nose right in front of everyone - and not sanitizing his hands properly afterward)."
"I was quite nervous about this procedure but the staff were kind, courteous and professional. They went out of their way to reassure me, answered all my questions and made sure I was comfortable. Thank you for making something i was dreading a completely dignified experience."
"Dr. Katsman and his team were very thoughtful, caring, and professional. I had some anxiety going in for the procedure but everyone made me feel very comfortable and at ease."
"My experience was absolutely amazing. I was a bit concerned about any discomfort or pain prior to having my colonoscopy and endoscopy procedures done, but they were so kind and reassured me it would be simple, quick and painless. Rest-assured, it really was! I felt like it was the best sleep I have ever had. Only took 20 minutes from start to finish and I am confident my next one in a few years will go just as smoothly. Thank you to the staff for following through with what you say will happen and for making this experience a great one."
"Everyone was very professional and friendly. The office was very clean and comfortable. Doctor Katsman met me before and after the procedure. The anesthesiologist and RN explained everything that was happening. The entire team put me at ease. Great staff. Highly recommend."
"Did a procedure with Dr Katsman 10 years ago that went very well. This time was even better. Very professional and patient friendly. I was confident and comfortable throughout the experience. I would recommend anyone to Dr Katsman."
"Dr Katsman has been my gastroenterologist since 1996 and I am grateful for him. He diagnosed my PBC at that time and I believe that is why I am able to talk about it now. He is caring and understanding as well as patient and allows me to tell him how I feel instead of just say hi goodbye."
"I had an excellent appointment with Dr. Katsman after being referred to him by my primary physician. He addressed that issue quickly and also answered other questions that I had about my gastrointestinal health. He quickly followed up with the results of tests he had ordered. I would certainly recommend him based on my experience."
"I was anxious for the procedure as I am not a big fan of doctors, but every step of the way from the intake to the nurse and the anesthesiologist and of course my amazing doctor , Dr Katsman, everyone quickly put me at ease and made it the best medical experience I have ever had!!"
"Dr. Katsman is always attentive to my situation and takes time to listen and address any concerns I might have. Always a positive experience when I have a checkup."
"I've been a Patient of Dr Ralph Katzman for all 3 of My Colonoscopies, (so far), and have been treated with care, and compassion for a necessary, but uncomfortable procedure . Fully Recommend This Doctor, and His Medical Practice and Medical Staff. Competence is Obvious throughout the Practice. I shall return for My future tests when needed as well."
"Dr Katsman was great! Professional and personable, he answered all my questions about my procedure. Everyone at his office helped make the process as quick and easy as possible. I would definately recommend Dr Katsman!"
"The service that I receive from Dr. Katsman was excellent. Dr. Katsman and the staff were friendly and ensure that I was properly informed about my health and care. I would have no qualms in recommending them to friendly and friends. Great medical office, wonderful and warm experience from start to finish"
"I came away from my appt. with Dr. Katsman feeling good about myself, & I was nervous going in. He is a realist, & did not set me goals that I could not attain. Thank you."
"While a colonoscopy is not something you want to do, having it done by Dr Katsman's office is the best way to go. The entire process is handled efficiently and professionally. Since this has an involved preparation there are plenty of reminders of what you need to do and an 800 number available for questions 24 hours a day. Dr Katsman's office staff insurers your comfort throughout the actual procedure and follow up. I strongly encourage you to use Dr Katsman's and his office staff for any of the procedures that he does."
"Dr. Katsman communicated well throughout the procedure and put me at ease with his friendly demeanor. His office is most efficiently run. I was highly impressed and would not hesitate to recommend his services."
"My procedure went smoothly and was very comfortable. I experienced no pain or discomfort; to the contrary, I was asleep for the length of the procedure. The entire staff was incredibly kind and competent, and they all worked hard to put me at ease. I was nervous before hand, not knowing what to expect, however, I won’t hesitate to schedule my next procedure with this practice when it comes time, and will do so without any anxiety whatsoever."
"Very professional and knowledgeable in his field of expertise. Would recommend him to anyone who's struggling with a chronic illness or any gastrointestinal issues."
"The procedure was later than expected, I waited anxiously for about a half hour, but there were no issues other than that. Staff members were kind and compassionate. Dr Katsman was his usual kind and caring self. I am so thankful for this group of people who have helped me and listened to me with my digestive needs since I was 17 years old (that's about 10 years of great service). I had some bad primary care providers and specialists along the way, and if it wasn't for Dr Katsman and his team (especially the RN's) I would never have been diagnosed with and received treatment for my IBD. Also, your RN's inspired me, at 17 years old, to pursue a career in nursing. Thank you Dr Katsman, and thank you Washington Gastroenterology for taking such good care of me."
"Dr. Katsman and his staff are excellent! They are so thorough and really take a lot of time with you going over every aspect of the procedure and aftercare. I would never go anywhere else!"
"I was treated with the best care I could ask for. All staff were very professional & made me feel comfortable all throughout my colonoscopy. I would recommend Fogel Endoscopy center & Dr Katsman to all my friends, family & anybody else who needs that type of procedure. I also was very pleased with the preparation supplies I got previous to colonoscopy. The drink mix with gatorade was very tasty & not very salty like last one I had 8 years previous."
