J. Timothy Katzen Plastic Surgeon MD, FACS

I went in for a breast augmentation with Dr. Katzen. He's very kind with great bedside manner. He provided me with written, easy to understand instructions pre and post surgery. In my eyes, he's the best surgeon. My breasts no longer hang like tube socks. They are perfect and perky.

Dr. Katzen's reputation is the reason I went to him. I had the lap band and thought I needed a tummy tuck. During consultation, Dr. Katzen suggested to take the incision longer due to the excess skin on my sides, essentially, an extended tummy tuck. I am so glad I trusted him, I am in love with my new body. I've gone down 2 dress sizes and I notice a HUGE difference in my body shape.

When selecting a plastic surgeon, there were key things that were important to me and Dr. Katzen had them all.
1. Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
2. Specializing in Weight Loss Patients
3. Gave me options to see before and after pictures of similar body type as mine AND as an added bonus, the office gave me numbers of their post op patients I could talk to if I had questions.

Overall, I had a great experience with Dr. Katzen and his team.

I had successful weight loss thanks to the gastric sleeve. Like most of you, I ended up with excess skin in my arms (and other places). I went to Dr. Timothy Katzen for an arm lift. He has a great demeanor about him and has very impressive credentials. He shows interest in my weight loss journey and is supportive every step of the way. I went into surgery feeling safe and in good hands. My arm lift incisions are well hidden, you don't really see the unless my arms are raised. Dr. Katzen really is the best in reconstructive surgery for weight loss patients.

After losing 130 pounds, I was left with excess skin around my middle section. I spent many hours at the gym and I felt it helped toned my body a little but nothing really helped with all that skin. I went to Dr. Katzen for a consultation and booked my tummy tuck for the following month. I came in with no hesitation, Dr. Katzen checked off everything I was looking for in a surgeon. He's skilled, great reviews, experienced and had great bedside manner. Dr. Katzen did an exceptional job on my tummy tuck. He's a true artist!

I was obese most of my life with a magnitude of medical problems. My primary care physician recommended weight loss surgery and it was very successful. I lost 145 pounds and many of my health problems and medications went away. Unfortunately, I inherited a new problem.....EXCESS skin and LOTS of it! I met Dr. Katzen at an obesity help conference and scheduled a free consultation with him on site. He's very down to earth and realistic with the outcome. I had the circumferential body lift, the results are so good! I followed Dr. Katzen's instructions carefully and did not experience any complications. My body is what I've always dreamed and hoped it would be.

Dr. Katzen and his team are amazing. Surgery, pre op and post op visits went very well. The office gives you detailed instructions and they are great at answering questions. They don't ever make me feel like I am bothering them.

I appreciate that Dr. Katzen does not "oversell". He has great bedside manner and more importantly, he's highly skilled. I am so glad I found Dr. Katzen. He's changed my life.

My weight has been up and down my whole life. By 7th grade, my doctor said I was morbidly obese. I was bullied a lot at school and suffered with major depression.

In January 2017, I had gastric bypass surgery and lost 205 lbs. After weight loss, I was left with lots of sagging skin. I found Dr. Katzen through a forum, right here on Obesity Help. I scheduled a consultation and felt comfortable immediately when I met him. I had a 360 circumferential body lift. I look and feel great. I am finally feeling comfortable in my own skin. Dr. Katzen is fantastic!

I heard of Dr. Katzen through my support group meeting. 3 gals had reconstructive surgery with him and couldn't stop talking about how happy they were with their results and how awesome Dr. Katzen is. I made an appointment and was pleased with how comfortable he made me feel. He's definitely an expert with weight loss patients. I highly recommend him for reconstructive surgery.

I scheduled liposuction for that bothersome extra tire around my waist that I'd been unable to get rid of since the birth of my last child 9 years ago. Diet and exercise may have reduced the tire somewhat, but at my age, I just couldn't commit to the time and energy it would require to completely do away with it to my satisfaction. Dr. Katzen was gentle, attentive and supportive throughout the whole process. The follow up care was exceptional. I have to admit I was at times a bit of a wimp post-op and then tried to be the stalwart ideal patient the rest of the time. Throughout it all, Dr. Katzen was wonderful. I was never made to feel that I was a burden and no question was too silly or irrelevant. Overall, I would rate him 5 stars and higher.
