Dr. Katigbak prepared for our meeting. He knew my background and started our mtg by extending immense compassion for what I have battled through. He reviewed my scans with me, treating me with respect and as an equal. Cancer is terrifying. He was reassuring and while I may choose a less invasive route, I would feel so safe and confident in choosing him to poke around in my lungs in a second. I absolutely loved him.

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Katigbak has no peer in competence and communication and genuine warmth. In a surgeon especially it is astonishing. And I come from a large family of doctors.

Have to go a long way to find such a caring doctor who doesn't rush through the appointment. Takes his time to make sure that you understand what he is explaining. He was a REAL find for me. Wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
