Bio
Al Viti
Without a doubt, the most trusted medical professional & surgeon I have met and who I have let treat me. As a scientist and a huuman being he's outside the box when he has to be, to solve. He has a wealth of medical knowledge that he applies instantly as well as with great thought. Dr Katz has worked on me on 3 separate occasions, 3 separate issues. I'm so comfortable that I would happily ask him to treat me for everything - even outside his specialty. I'm retired military and retired law-enforcement - I don't like being out of control, but I'm OK with Dr Katz. I would unequivocally recommend him to anyone for any surgery.
