About Me

How did you fall in love with your field?

I fell in love with medicine because my parents and grandparents were in medicine and I heard stories about how my mom and dad helped people. I fell in love with cancer care because I felt I could specialize and help many people by treating rare diseases, often when they felt nobody else would be there.

Three things people may not know about you:

  1. I love to snowboard. I am lucky to say that I have snowboarded in the Alps.
  2. Proud husband and a father of two boys and a girl.
  3. Originally from Israel and served three years in the military.

    Both Drs were good functional, personable.

  • Sep 05, 2026

    I know Dr Katzir is an excellent neurosurgeon. I'm happy with the care he's providing, however I would have liked to be able to ask more questions and be seen with the seen by him in the office. I still have not sure why I need to have the bone density scan and there was other questions that I didn't write down that I should have when I met with him. Honestly I felt very rushed and this telehealth visit.

  • Aug 18, 2026

    Disappointed with how long it took to finally really listen to me and understand that something was really wrong.

  • Jul 01, 2026

    I never thought that I could feel as well as I do. The surgery was risky, I had been told no to surgery by numerous other doctors. I was told that I could not get better. Now I would like to visit these other doctors and tell them they were wrong. My pain level has decreased by more than 50%, I have gained increased sensation in areas and im no longer dreading the rest of my life

  • Jun 03, 2026

    I am confident that had I asked more questions, he would have answered them.

  • May 22, 2026

    Dr. Katzir & his staff were fantastic.

  • Apr 16, 2026

    I would recommend to others

  • Mar 07, 2026

    He explained things in great detail and was very nice.

  • Mar 07, 2026

    It was very easy, well explained.

  • Mar 07, 2026

    Dr Katzir and his staff are top notch however getting in to see him because of his busy schedule can be difficult no fault of his or staff

  • Feb 18, 2026

    Once I got to meeting with MD and PAC they were tremendous.

  • Jan 30, 2026

    Good experience.

  • Nov 15, 2025

    Great

  • Oct 31, 2025

    Everything was good.

  • Oct 06, 2025

    Dr Katzir was very patient and caring. My daughter and I had some trouble connecting our photo with the doctor but finally got it fixed. He was very patient while we got the problem figured out on our end. He stayed with us the complete time answering our questions and concerns so we didn't need to reschedule the zoom call

  • Sep 24, 2025

    We felt heard by both the doctor and the pa.

  • Sep 22, 2025

    He was very thorough and asked all the right questions and scheduled some test and asked several times if we were satisfied with the plan of care

  • Jul 02, 2025

    Excellent Service

  • Jun 30, 2025

    I'm very happy about it

  • Jun 06, 2025

    Very bad. I tired to explain the situation and there was no care or worry about how I felt. He simply ignored how I felt and was worried about begin quick and careless

  • May 03, 2025

    Explained everything well

  • Mar 06, 2025

    Explained all my options answered all my questions.

  • Feb 23, 2025

    Talked too fast, he seemed to be in a hurry...

  • Feb 10, 2025

    I have seen Dr.Katzir on three different occasions well actually four different occasions one telehealth before and two other surgery proceedings and this telehealth. He is a very, very good surgeon. Very understanding as to what is going on. I have been to other surgeons with the issues that I have been presented with, and he has helped with them on all aspects.

  • Jan 26, 2025

    It seemed to me the consultation was rushed. Both the surgeon and the PA were friendly but we asked about radio frequency ablation and never got a good response.

  • Jan 17, 2025

    Overall my experience was beneficial and I was thankful that Dr. Katzir was able to get me in ASAP. However I wish that the provider and/or PA would've asked me about my prior appt or even acknowledge that he saw me previously. It would've made me feel as If he cared about following up with me. When I mentioned my lower back hurting it was if he didn't remember me or maybe he thought my new issues superseded my lower back issues. I traveled a long way to see Dr. Katzir over the provider I saw in Denver (which would've been more convenient for me because I have family in CO), but I felt more confident with Dr. Katzir based on my one appt with him. This was a decision that I stressed about. I will continue to do everything I can to prolong any surgery.

  • Dec 24, 2024

    I had a good visit! Dr Katzir really listened to me and discussed my problems at length and what the next step is. I would recommend others to him.

  • Nov 28, 2024

    Real good with my appointment

  • Nov 20, 2024

    Dr. Katzir explained everything in detail and showed a great deal of sympathy and support for my condition and how to proceed. I am very happy with him being my surgeon.

  • Nov 20, 2024

    All went as expected

  • Nov 13, 2024

    I struggled about switching surgeon mid stream of my care, but when I met Dr Katzir I was impressed with his honesty and professionalism.
