Testimonials

I receive regular as well as specialized eye care at Katzen. As a registered nurse, I am vigilant about how I am cared for. The services I have received are excellent and precise. The staff has terrific communication skills. The equipment is the newest and most precise that I have ever seen. The front office staff is efficient and kind as well as good at using highly technical communication tools. On the retail side Katzen offers a very large collection of frames and other eye care items, and they work with you to meet your needs. I am very satisfied and will continue with them enthusiastically.

I have been referring my patients to Katzen for years now due to the very accomplished doctors who understand the kind of eyecare every patient needs. When I decided to get LASIK done, I knew to go to none other than Katzen. Being an optometrist, patient education has always been extremely important to me. As expected, Dr. Leikin was very informative and answered all of my questions during the pre and post-op visits. Dr. Lapinsky did my LASIK, and I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. First day post-op, everything was coming into focus. Three days later, everything was sharp as can be! It's been such a great journey getting my LASIK done with Katzen. As a physician, I highly recommend Katzen for your LASIK.

I had a great experience at Katzen Eye Group. I had LASIK last week and could not complain about the service or my vision. Everyone was very attentive and they explained every aspect of the surgery to me. Dr. Katzen and Dr. Leikin were wonderful and made me feel totally at ease. I regret waiting to have the LASIK procedure, as I now have better than perfect vision with minimal discomfort after fifteen years of wearing corrective lenses. I never waited more than five minutes over several appointments and always felt very comfortable. I recommend Katzen Eye Group to everyone

A few years ago I had LASIK by Dr. Brett Katzen. Everything went perfectly, from the time I made my appointment through the follow up appointment each and every person I came into contact with was very friendly and professional. Dr. Katzen made me feel completely at ease throughout the whole process. He talks a lot during the surgery. My surgery was potentially more complicated than some because I had an RK procedure 25 years ago. I chose Katzen after doing some research on many of the doctors that specialize in this surgery. He was doing so many of these surgeries I felt like it was unlikely that he hadn't encountered complicated eyes like mine. All I can say is that he under promised and over performed. So when it was time for my daughter to look into having the surgery we went back and saw Dr. Katzen again. This was just last week. Six days after her first appointment, she had her LASIK surgery. I was surprised that he remembered me and details regarding my complicated eyes. He was funny, actually. He didn't promise perfect vision but she tested 20/15 one day after the surgery. He asked me not to tell people that because then they would come in expecting 20/15 vision...oops! All went really well, but she wrote her own review so I won't go into that. When my 18 year old is ready (we are a myopic family) I won't hesitate to visit Dr. Katzen again.

Dear Dr. Katzen,

You performed lasiks on me in September, 2012. I can not tell you how well I can see and how sorry I am I waited so long to do it. I could literally see road signs in the distance on the ride home and was watching T.V. that night. I drove myself to the visit the morning after because I FELT great and I could see GREAT ! Since then, my vision has gotten even better. It is such a pleasure to open my eyes in the morning and see everything...CLEARLY! It was also a pleasure to visit this office and interact with the professionals that work there. I never waited at all, not at the evaluation, not at the pre-op and not on the day of surgery!!! Everyone was cheerful, helpful, informative, patient and accommodating. I managed to put this to the test my first visit when I took off work on the wrong day by accident and asked to be seen that morning instead. This was no problem at all according to the likable and cheerful receptionist! Each professional on this staff was patient and took time with me, making sure I had a full understanding of the process and outcomes so that I could make an informed decision. This experience was 100% positive. Financing is made easy, affordable and worth every penny especially since I am no longer buying glasses, contacts, contact solution... I have been fighting with glasses and contacts for over 30 years. Contacts made my eyes tired and red but I hated wearing glasses. Lasiks is ABSOLUTELY WONDERfUl as was my experience with the Katzen eye group

I had to return to Katzen today because my glasses quite literally fell apart at work; without them, I am nearly completely blind and can't do a thing. I tried to use an eyeglass repair kit, but my frames are "specialized", so I had to call Katzen to ask them to fix them. Not only did they tell me to come right in, but I waited less than five minutes before they had a technician service my need. My glasses were fixed almost immediately, and they took time to tighten everything and polish the lenses up. Not only that, but they set me up for an annual exam even though they were packed full in the waiting room.

I will never go anywhere else for my vision care needs. Bravo to the staff at Katzen Eye, both at Mercy and Lutherville! Thanks for taking care of me so quickly today.

Dear Dr. Katzen,

You performed my laser vision correction in December 1999. At first I was enamored with the whole alarm clock thing. But it took a little bit longer to realize how much more there is to 20/20 eyesight. I forgot my glasses the day I had my third child. I have lost and torn countless contacts while traveling. I have camped with contacts and glasses, tried to swim and be generally athletic with contacts. I have driven with dry itchy contacts late into the night. In general, my eyesight prevented me from enjoying just about everything because of all the "gear" I was constantly towing around. It took me a while to figure out just how much of my everyday life was going to be affected by not being a slave to my eyesight. I could not be happier with my new eyesight. I have no regrets and point everyone interested in your direction. I am grateful to you and your wonderful staff for your level of care and concern. Thanks for everything.

Sincerely,

Shelley

Dear Dr. Lapinsky & the Staff at Katzen Eye Group,

I just wanted to thank you all for the wonderful care you gave my husband. It has been wonderful for him being lens-free! All of the staff were so professional and caring. I especially appreciated Dr. Lapinsky calling him the night of his surgery to check on him. As a nurse myself, I value quality patient care and thank your entire group for providing that.

Sincerely,

Dara

Dear Dr. Katzen & all of the staff,

I had my LASIK surgery on May 18 and I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did. Although I'm sure it won't surprise you, my vision is 20/20 & it still amazes me. The staff did a wonderful job preparing me for the surgery; there were no surprises and I would recommend it to anyone. Once again, I am very grateful for what you have done for me and I wish all of you the very best.

Sincerely,

Cathleen

Dear Dr. Lapinsky,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the nurses, medical assistants, and entire staff of the Katzen Eye Group. As you recall, you successfully removed my cataracts in April of this year. The operation was successful with absolutely no problems. The new sight has given me confidence I did not have in night driving. For that I wish to give my sincere thanks. I also would like to thank your entire staff. Every visit, every communication, and every procedure was caring and very professionally completed. I was never in any doubt of what would be done and through the professional handling was never in any fear. I cannot state how good every one at Katzen Eye Group made me feel. Congratulations! You have an outstanding staff! You are an excellent Doctor! You and your staff did an outstanding job!

Thank you very much,

William

Dear Dr. Katzen,

I've always dreamed of being free from glasses and contact lenses. I've worn glasses for 25 years. My dream is now a reality since you performedLASIK surgery on my eyes a few months ago. I was very impressed with you, your staff and the perfect results I got. The pre-op was very thorough as was the post-op. The surgery itself was extremely fast and virtually painless!! I saw clearly the moment I opened my eyes. I have 20/20 vision now and am free to swim, ski, dive, etc. with no worries of my contacts moving around or being lost. This surgery is truly a miracle to me! It has enhanced my life in several ways and I wanted to say Thank You!

Sincerely,

Audrey

Hello Dr. Donna,

Thank you so much for making the surgery a good experience. You have a rare quality of compassion and professionalism that instilled a great deal of confidence in me. It is fair to say that the whole experience was really good.

Kind regards,
