About Me
As a board-certified obesity medicine specialist and former bariatric surgeon, I bring extensive experience to medical weight management. My background includes over 2,500 bariatric surgeries and leadership at multiple major weight management programs. Trained at New York Medical School with residencies at Harvard Beth Israel and St. Barnabas hospitals, I transitioned to medical weight loss in the post Covid era. My unique combination of surgical expertise and obesity medicine allows me to effectively treat diverse patient populations, including those with weight regain after bariatric surgery. My practice is 100% virtual, allowing me to provide care to people that live in New York State.
***At this time Dr. Katz accepts Original Medicare, all other appointments are cash pay.
