Patient Reviews

"The decision to have any major surgery should never be taken lightly. Surgery can be incredibly daunting; complications can and do occur. With that said, I knew from the beginning that Dr. Katzen was going to be my surgeon after our first meeting. During consultation, Dr. Katzen and his team were incredibly open about the process, including the realities of recovery, follow-ups, and scar treatment. I had two major procedures within the span of 8 weeks. After the first surgery, my body wasn't too happy about the procedure, to say the least. Dr. Katzen and his team were incredibly communicative and accessible throughout what was a difficult recovery process. Now, 6 months after my first surgery, I know that the hallmark of a great surgeon is how they guide you through any complications you might experience. I was anemic after surgery and had issues with wounds opening, but thankfully, those issues are now behind me. Having major surgery and going through the recovery process is an emotional journey just as much as a physical one. It was painful, I was completely reliant upon others for the first two weeks, and it can be expensive. These are all factors one should consider before surgery. However, if someone were to ask me (and ask me they have), if I could, would I do it all over again knowing what I know now? That answer is always a resounding yes. Yes, without question, I am much happier now. And I would pick Dr. Katzen again over anyone else."

"Dr. Katzen removed not one, but two very persistent Plantar warts from my foot. The first was easily removed with a laser, but then, unfortunately, another one bloomed a month later. This one was more stubborn, requiring multiple laser treatments and freezing. Throughout the whole process, Dr. Katzen was patient, thorough and professional. My foot is now free of any warts and I can walk without any discomfort. Thank you, Dr. Katzen! I am adding to this review as Dr. Katzen performed liposuction on my abdominal area as well as my back and chin. I am happy to say that after a year, I am still loving my new body. I can wear a bikini again!"

"Much Needed Tummy Tuck - I had 3 different consultations for a tummy tuck and Lipo. The moment I walked into Dr. Katzen's office I knew he was the one to perform my surgeon. He answered all of my questions, made me feel safe, did not rush me, made himself available via phone. His office coordinator Belinda is also amazing. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time! My journey begins now... count down time. I will post before pictures soon.Updated on 24 Jun 2017:All I have to say is WOW!! He healing process is no joke but, it was well with it. I am on Day 4, pain isn't has bad but I'm still taking all Medications including blood thinner shots so I do not develop blood cots. I feel so blessed that I had m mom, sister, and hubby to help!! You will need all the help can get. Must haves:: Lift Chair, walker, someone who can give great massages! My doctor gave n entire list of things that would be helpful and let me tell.... HE WAS RIGHT!Updated on 19 Jul 2017:4wks post op and I am feeling really good. Since I had muscle repair done I am still unable to stand up completely. I still have a good amount of swelling so no pics yet ladies. I must say I feel like I choose the right doctor. Dr. Katzen is the most caring person I know. He checks on me and 4 wks later I am still seeing I'm to ensure the healing process is going as planned. Next week I begin my scar treatment, I'm excited for that. Dr. Katzen is known for minimal scars from tummy tucks. Ladies and gents of you are looking for a good Doc call on Dr. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills!I'm 4 wks post op and Dr. Katzen still makes himself available to me if I have any concerns about m healing process. He is truly committed to seeing his patients through surgery and the healing process. I'm a very sensitive person and I hate feeling pain, therefore dr. Katzen and is staff has held my hand through this journey. I just love my doc and o can see that my results are going to be fantastic. I just need all of my swelling to go down! Ughhhh!"
