Joe Katz, MD

I have been a patient with Dr. Katz and his team for four years. Honestly, it has been transformative. I used to have to take a number of medicines, pills, nose spray, eye drops and lotion. I now don’t even need to take a Zyrtec in the height of allergy season. It really works but I would say to make sure that you keep up with the shot schedule and prescribed regimen. I am now down to a shot series per month and will never go without. Both Dr. Katz and the team have alway been very friendly and helpful too

Very happy with Dr. Katz and team. My son has been a patient for a year now. We go in for weekly shots, they are friendly and efficient.

Dr Katz and his staff are very professional. I have been receiving treatment for environmental and pet allergies for just over a year and immediately noticed this year when everyone else around me was suffering, I was doing fine. It worked so well I had my children tested and they also come for treatment weekly showing significant improvement. Living in Las Vegas environment is now tolerable with the help of Dr Katz and his staff. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Dr Katz is amazing. Huge patient base but still manages to to have great rapport and familiarity with each patient. He’s thorough and very friendly. I knew what to expect when coming here he is an allergy specialist. So personally I anticipated allergy testing and him to offer allergy therapy … It’s a little time consuming but I felt personal benefits within 6 months and only need to take allergy medicine the day of my shots and not daily. I rarely where I used to frequently suffer sinus headaches and tension from allergies … It’s worth the investment if you have severe allergies such as someone like me. I was even able to adopt a dog a year into therapy where in the past I was HIGHLY allergic. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ recommend !!
Also the staff is friendly haven’t had one bad encounter in over a year of treatment.

Staff needs training big time.
Brought my daughter in for allergy testing. After the 3^rd series of lung tests (blow blow blow), I heard the RN Brenda (right next to me) tell a worker that the girl doing the testing is not having them take a deep breaths at the end correctly, and that she has NOT been doing it right all morning, as she points to my daughter getting her test done. I was totally waiting for someone to tell the girl giving the tests so my daughter could do it again properly. nope. It is what it is a guess. But…
After the testing was complete, an employee comes in and says my daughter is highly reactive to trees and pollen, hands me a packet on immunotherapy and says «this is what you have to do». bottom line $ 1000 plus a year for 3 to 4 years, shots 1 to 3 times a week. I ask questions. She says, ok you are all set, hang on a minute, and leaves. I’m in SHOCK that things are this bad, expensive and trying to figure out how i am going to take her out of school and leave work 1 to 3 times a week for the therapy. Why are they not open on a Saturday to accommodate people? After a few minutes discussing with my daughter and calming her down, I decide I am going to assert myself and INSIST on seeing the doctor again for more information. Well after 5 minutes alone in the room waiting for someone to check us out, the doctor came in the room to explain everything. We are not doing the shots and try to control with over the counter meds.
STAFF NEEDS TRAINING.

Dr Katz has been our asthma and allergy doctor for six years now. He listens to my concerns, treats aggressively and correctly. If the treatment doesn’t work he changes course quickly. He works hard to keep our asthma under control. Both of my children love to visit because of his magic tricks. The office staff is always pleasant. They always get us in to see the doctor the same day or will call if there is a cancellation. I recommend Dr Katz to all my friends!

Called the office yesterday to make an appointment. The person who answered was friendly, helpful, and patient with me. I was worried after reading the reviews. I am looking forward to my appointment.

Dr Katz and his team is really wonderful. He is super busy, and yet took time with me to help me understand allergy shots and expected results. I was skeptical about taking them, and after the prescribed time, I changed from miserable with allergies for 3 years non-​stop (with 24 hour continual Zyrtech), to a completely allergy-​free life!
Seeing his team each week was a nice experience. They always greeted me by name and took care in giving the shots. I’m relocating to another state and Dr Katz met with me to help me find a reputable allergy clinic and had my serum and medical notes all prepared for me to take with no charge.
I would highly recommend Dr Katz and his team and will miss them as I move to Atlanta!

My husband John Woods has been going to Dr Katz for years. He was able to resolve issues other Doctors could not and is thankful for the wonderful care from Dr Katz and the staff.

Dr Katz and Brenda are great and take the time with you in help relieve ones allergy symptoms. In addition, the girls who give the shots are efficient, friendly, caring, and professional. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone suffering any kind of allergy!

I have been a patient of Dr. Katz for 18 years. He is THE best allergist in the valley. He cares about making his patients feel better so that they have a normal quality of life when suffering from severe allergies. His staff is friendly and always helpful. I am thankful that I found him so many years ago and have referred many friends to him as well.
Thank you Dr. Katz!!!

For going on three years now Dr Katz and his team have helped me live my life without being covered in hives on a regular basis. His staff are exceptionally trained and extremely friendly from ashley who gives me the shots to help maintain my allergies to the office manager always being helpful when payments or insurance issues arise. I know I am well taken care of in their care. On top of that I can count on them to work with my crazy schedule and be constantly reliable with their service. Thank you Dr Katz, Brenda and the team that help me live my life like a normal person!

I’ve had allergies for as long as I can remember and finally started seeking a doctor to help me with them. I found Dr. Katz.
I can’t explain how easy of a process it’s been. From scheduling to actually coming into the office has been smooth sailing
I’ve been in the medical field previously and I understand that doctors especially with the amount of experience Dr. Katz has doesn’t need to spend 30 minutes chit chatting.
The appointment was simple and quick which works for me because I have a very fast paced life style.
Thank you Dr Katz! I would recommend any one here! You won’t be disappointed

I have been treated royally! I was seen quickly and everything needed was done All info was explained so I could understand it! Highly recommended

I’ve never had a problem at this office. The staff is always polite. I’ve been getting shots here for a while now and I’m being treated for my asthma as well.

Dr. Katz is currently working with my son, he has allergic esophagitis. He has been excellent. He talks to us about what needs to be done, treatment options, and next steps. I recommend him as an excellent doctor.

Horrible service from front desk and office manager! I was asked to find a different doctor because I refused a breathing test. Doctors are known to have ways of manipulating the system and getting the maximum amount from Insurances. A breathing test without warning that is not covered and coming out of pocket is something that should be told and shared with the patient at the time of scheduling or reminding a patient of their appointment. Healthcare and the patients well-​being is in the hands of the patient not the staff who prefer to make a buck than to help a patient. Apparently, these folks have a lot to learn about customer service. CONSUMERS: Do not accept this type of treatment if you feel you do not understand the purpose behind a medical exam that is ordered by a doctor but you feel is unwarranted. And especially when the attitude they give you is, «You’d better go somewhere else.» You know your body best, and if you need medical attention, go somewhere where they actually care about you as the patient and have «listening ears».

I came in for a specific issue and he wanted to test and bill me for something completely unrelated. Because I would not do the test, he would not treat me and sent his nurse practitioner in instead. I went back in 5 different times and he never came in to talk to me. Very rude! It’s all about the money here, not helping the patients. Brenda, the nurse practitioner is very nice and saved this place from a 1 star review. My original issue still persists and never got the treatment I expected.

There are few doctors that genuinely care for their patients like Dr. Katz. He and his nurse practitioner, Brenda really take their time with you, get to know you as a person not just a patient. As a longtime patient, Dr. Katz and his staff have always been professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The office is comfortable, easy to get to and I have never had an issue getting an appointment. If you have allergies or asthma I highly recommend Dr. Katz– it is doctors like him who restore my faith in the medical practice — love not being made to wait hours to see a doctor when you made an appt. and to be tarted like a person and not a number. Dr. Katz, Brenda and his staff are top notch! Period.

They are only concerned about receving their money on the spot. That is their number one priority… period. Paige the office manager’s (as I was told when I called back later today to obtain her name) customer service skills need some serious refinement. My wife explained to Paige that since our last visit with Katz our 8yr old daughter has been to the ER twice and also to a gastro intestinal doctor so our deductable would surely be met since we have a PPO. She called the insurance and was told that the claims were still being processed and she informed us that we needed to pay the cost of the visit in full which was $ 710. She refused to bill us and told us we could re-​schedule if we would not pay the money (both my wife and I had to take time off from work today to take my daughter to today’s appt.) she was not bothered in the least bit that we would not be seen today because they were not going to receive their $ 710. Both my wife and I are government employees that have decent insurance but we are also not made out of money and this is the only doctor I have ever been too that expects full payment up front for services rendered. They must be hurting for patients and after today’s visit (2^nd appt w/​Katz for my daughter) I can surely see why.
After reading some other reviews I can see that we are not the only ones that have had this type of experience with this office.

Who doesn’t make emergency appointments for a patient suffering from an asthmatic attack? Why this office who told me to go to the ER. Not only not helpful but dangerous.

Been here less than 10min and the staff Has been great, professional. Wish I had found this place sooner. Office is clean plenty of seating area plus a lil spot for kids to play in. Was seen asap the doctor was very nice and attentive. Will diff recommend this place to any1 who has allergy issues/​needs

I have been a long standing patient of the Allergy and Asthma Center. Dr. Katz and his staff are amazing. I like that when you call the office the phone is always answered by a person and not a machine. The staff is friendly and see to it your needs are met. It is easy to make an appointment or get questions answered.
My reasons for seeing Dr. Katz were for treatment of chronic sinus infections and recurring hives which no one was able to diagnose and treat in fourteen years prior to seeing Dr. Katz. Through testing it was determined I had many allergies and I started allergy shots. Guess what, no more sinus infections. My son was also allergy tested and had several allergies but Dr. Katz did not recommend a shot protocol for him. Dr. Katz also tried a few things before getting my hive under He solved a huge medical problem for me that no internist, dermatologist, or GP could solve. Trust me when I say it is not just about the money. I have referred many friends and coworkers to this practice with a myriad of symptoms/​concerns. They have all been pleased with their experiences and/​or referrrals to se other doctors. Dr. Katz truly cares about the patients!!! I strongly recommend his practice. By the way he has been chosen by the Las Vegas population as a Top Doc sine 2006!!!

If there is a zero star option, I would give them that. I should’ve known better and checked the reviews on this place prior to calling them to make an appointment.
This office is extremely rude and obviously does not care about client services. I called to request for an appointment, as I am a new patient. Within a few minutes of speaking to the receptionist, she was extremely short with me and didn’t care to secure my appointment. I gave her all of my information and towards the end, she asked for my insurance info. I told her I didn’t have the info and she could call my insurance company to verify my coverage– all of my other doctors’ offices do this by the way. She said that they don’t do that and I would need to give her my invariance info before they can secure the appt.
OK so I told her I would call her back in an hour– right as I was hanging up, I said out loud «wow, what a bi;&h» because really, she was not nice.
15 mins later, I called back with the info she needed and found out that she didn’t save my information. I was pissed and asked to speak to the manager, who then explained to me that the computer doesn’t save the appts without the insurance info. I was like wow, is this how you treat all new clients? I work in the service industry and if I want someone’s business, I make sure to go above and beyond– and not rely only some some software to secure business with new clients. She proceeded to tell me I made the receptionist cry? How when she was not even doing her job properly and sounded like she couldn’t care less if I had an appointment or not. The office manager told me that this was not the right place for me! Did she think after all that I would give them my business?! They are so wrong and I will make sure to tell all the people I know here in Las Vegas about this horrible place.
I booked an appointment with Nevada Ear+Sinus institute and the service was 100x better. No wonder they’re fully booked until August!
