Glenn Katz MD

My daughter has been going to Dr. Katz ever since we moved to San Clemente back in 2002. She is now 13 years old. Dr. Katz is one of the best diagnosticians and pediatricians I have come across. I can always count on him to remember the exact details of the things that my daughter has been through for the last 12 years. He is like a treasured family member and a smart one to boot. He truly cares and will stop at nothing to resolve any issue that comes up. I highly recommend Dr. Katz for any new patient. I have many friends who have been sending their children to him for years and he is very well respected in and around this community. You never have to wait in the waiting room for long. The staff handling his office are excellent as well.

Can I give him zero stars?
Horrible bed side manner. He handled my 3 day old infant as though she was a doll– completely careless. During my child’s exam he hardly even talked to me and my husband. We would ask questions and just gave us one word answers.
This guy is a jerk.

Dr Katz is the best!
He has a magic calming approach and my kids doesn’t even flinch when getting vaccinated.
Unfortunately Dr. Katz doesn’t take the new healthcare plan we’re under so we have to find another pediatrician, which really sucks…

I have been taking my son to Dr. Katz since he was a newborn. In fact he came to the hospital to do his first newborn check up.
So where do I begin! Dr. Katz was actually my husbands pediatrician. I know what you’re thinking. Whoa! He’s old. Right?! :)) Well I happen to think it’s an advantage. He’s been around awhile, therefore he’s seen a lot of babies/​kids therefore he’s seen… well a lot. I like that about him. He’s even saved a kids life where the parents thought they were bringing in their child due to the common cold (look it up!).
Anyways, my favorite thing about Dr. Katz is that he has always been on my side, on my track and followed my mom instincts. It seems as though he’s always praising me, and telling me how perfect and healthy my son is. As a new mom (2 years ago), I was always thinking about what I was doing wrong or what I could do to be better. But he always somehow boosted my confidence at all of Vance’s appointments.
He’s always so positive and compliments my mothering. He has never ever told me; «do this» «don’t do this» «you should do this» «never do that» …I’m sure you get the point. But instead he would say things like; «well that’s ok» «that seems right» «I don’t see anything that I’m concerned with» «you’re doing a great job mom!»
With Vance, he is such a picky eater. Very much a texture kid. So I’m always concerned with him getting the right amount of food and nutrition. He DOES NOT eat fruits and veggies! He’s always been above average with his weight so that’s not a concern. And Dr. Katz even clued me in on how half his kids are either great eaters or poor eaters. Never in between. So when he told me that I felt much better about our situation. He always seems to say the right thing and makes me feel reassured that I’m doing the best job that I can.
I am currently pregnant and I know I will be seeing him in the hospital for my little one and continue to bring Vance into see him.
He is such an amazing pediatrician. I really have nothing negative to say about this man. He’s great with Vance and I know he’ll be perfect with the next babe!
If you’re looking for a pediatrician I highly suggest Dr. Katz. He just great!!!

Best Pediatrician ever! This facility is one man show and Dr. Katz is experienced. Both of my kids been seeing him since newborns, but now we can’t go to him anymore because our insurance have changed to HMO. Unfortunately, they don’t accept HMO.
My kids have gone through many stages of growing up so each time I have any concern, I would bring them into Dr. Katz and immediately he knew what it was. It really really helps to have experience. I’ve been to other pediatric doctors and they don’t even know what they are talking about and just keeps on prescribing meds.
