Jerry P Katz, DDS and Stephen Katz, DDS

Besides being technically the best and most caring dentist I’ve ever been to Dr. Katz
manages to practice both fear and pain free dentistry. Every member of staff
makes you feel welcome and cared for. In my opinion Dr. Katz is a model of what all dentists should aspire to. It is obvious that he loves his work and he loves to help his patients.

Dr. Katz and his staff are fabulous. If you are looking for a dentist who doesn’t treat you like you are going through a cattle call, go to his practice. His staff is always friendly and knowledgable. I never have to wait. Running on time is incredibly important to them.
They do not push unnecessary treatment on you (cavity fillings, etc…) Instead, Dr. Katz will point out when we need to watch certain teeth. I appreciate this conservative approach. I have been going to him twice a year for almost a decade (if not longer) after a friend referred him to me. Trish is my dental hygienist and is awesome. To sum it all up, I strangely look forward to having my teeth cleaned!

10 years ago I was moving from Houston to Austin. I asked my excellent periodontist (Michael McGuire) if he could refer me to a dentist in Austin. He recommended Dr. Jerry P Katz. I have been extremely happy with Dr. Katz and all his staff for the past 10 years.

Dr Katz has been my dentist for 4 years. I am super picky about my dentists, and I am so happy to have found this practice. Dr Katz is truly passionate about his profession, and it shows in so many ways — top notch hygienists, efficient staff, great connections if you need orthodontia or dental surgery. I like that when we have choices about dental work, he explains it to me and helps me decide whether to go with a more conservatively or more aggressive approach. Dr Katz’s son, Stephen, recently joined his practice. So far, it looks like the attention to detail and dedication to patients runs in the family. My only regrets here are that Dr Katz is not accepted by my insurance at the full rate — a bit more expensive for me, but worth it.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Steve Katz for a little over a year as I’ve had quite a bit of work that needed to be done. Dr. Steve and the staff at his office have provided the best experience I’ve had with a dentist. Dr. Steve is very communicative, he takes great care when working on my teeth and the results have been excellent.
I actually had some daily jaw pain for over a year when I first started seeing him. It was the result from another dentist not setting a back crown properly. With some careful work, Dr. Steve was able to make some adjustments that alleviated the pain completely.
Highly recommend if you are looking for a great dentist!

Dr. Katz has been my dentist for over 15 years! I have always had only but the best experience with this group and they have top notch staff and a very friendly environment. The Dentists here are highly respected and active members of the Dental community. The work is exceptional and I am always impressed with their knowledge and ability to easily explain findings in a way that I can understand. They make you feel like family and relate well to all of their patients.
Their location is ideal and super easy to park and enter their office space. They are not in a large high rise Doctor office building. Instead, they have a beautiful office that backs up to a greenbelt area and makes every visit serene and comfortable. This is a family owned and operated Dentist team that I have been recommending to my family and friends for many years. You will not be disappointed!

I usually HATE going to the dentist, but Dr. Katz really doesn’t make it all that bad. In fact the friendly staff, comfortable chairs, soft blankets, and large windows make it as enjoyable as a trip to the dentist can be. Three years ago, I had my bonding redone with my dentist in Houston and then drove back to Austin. Well within a few hours, my bonding chipped on one of my teeth and of course I was the idiot who had lived in Austin for two years without finding trustworthy doctors and dentists here. I was three days out from an event and had no time to drive back to Houston. I somehow found Dr. Katz and the staff was unbelievably helpful by squeezing me into their packed schedule within two days. I was dreading a visit with a dentist I didn’t know but the experience was pleasant and at the end I looked at the tooth he fixed and was happier with my random find of a dentist than the dentist I had been seeing in Houston for years. I have been going to Dr. Katz ever since and could not be happier. We are currently working on veneers and he has been a perfectionist throughout the process. Who would want it any other way? He referred me to Dr. Weil for connective tissue grafting to even out of my gum line, got to work on whitening and soon to come the veneers. I love Dr. Katz and his staff. Hope you do too!

Well, everything else here is still as my previous review, but I happened to have had some work done on my teeth and the results were just not good at all.
On top of that, I was charged for some extra stuff that I wasn’t expecting, since it wasn’t on the itemized list they gave me before I under went the procedure.
Was it an off day? I don’t know, but when you have work on your teeth, there’s no going back. It’s not a hair cut. Teeth don’t just grow back.
I feel that I was misadvised and taken advantage of monetarily. My new dentist also informed me that there are newer, more advanced techniques that could’ve been used and that I would’ve had a much better outcome.
I’m devastated, but can’t do anything about that now :-(
So, be careful if you’re doing something permanent to your mouth before coming here, and get another opinion before you make the permanent changes to your mouth. Also make sure to tell them you’re not paying a penny more than what was previously agreed to.
Good luck!

Dr. Katz is the most caring, wonderful denist. He is truly passionate about his work and wants to help people. He is the first dentist to tell me he could help me get a beautiful smile. I was born without my lateral teeth (the 2^nd teeth on the top). In high school, I had braces to move my canine teeth to the lateral positions. I then had my front 4 teeth crowned to fill in the space. The crowns were 4 big square teeth and I have never liked my smile.
Now at age 49, I finally have a beautiful, perfect smile. Dr. Katz broke down the basics of a beautiful smile and how the teerth are not only shaped, but how they line up at the gum line. Dr. Katz worked with a team including my awesome orthodontist Dr. Nick Salome of Austin Orthodontic Arts and Dr. Wiel, oral surgeon, to move my teeth, adjust my gum line and build the most artistic beautiful crowns.
I can’t say enough about how wonderful and brillant Dr. Katz is. He spent hours analyzing and perfecting my complicated case. He is more than AWESOME!

See this smile? It’s all Dr Katz. No, really. Those two front teeth are his beautiful handiwork. I knocked em out, he put the crowns in. It was a traumatic experience, but I had 100% confidence in his ability to restore my smile. Even if you go in with your teeth intact, he will inspire confidence, I swear. The waiting room at Dr Katz’s is totally swank. There are good current magazines and nice chairs. The receptionists can answer all your tedious insurance questions and they are sooooo nice. And I don’t know if it’s them or the computer, but someone sent me a text message to remind me of my appointment. Hello, 21^st century! Speaking of the 21^st century, my hygienist is not only super-​nice, she is up-​to-​date on current research. It really makes me happy that she is keeping up with that and passing on the info so I can keep my teeth for my whole life (if I don’t knock them out, that is). Dr Katz always does a great job, and did I mention he has let me keep my wisdom teeth? Hurray!
