Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

There is a reason that he stays booked up
I saw him on an emergency episode 10 years ago. This time it was not an emergence so I was able to wait for an appointment. I love his warm, friendly, and jovial demeanor. His efficiency and promptness is second to none. That being said, he does not waste your time giving you information that you do not need or care about. The procedure was outpatient which was really all I cared about but it was a bit longer than I assumed it would be. Also, after anesthesia and trying to urinate with a bedpan lying down can be painful.

Dr. Katari did an ablation on me with great results for which I am truly grateful! He explained the risks and benefits in detail! I highly recommend him to anyone having this procedure or any other he performs!

Dr. Katari & Staff
I was referred to Dr. Katari from my regular cardiologist after going into Afib right before a knee replacement over 2 years ago. He has been amazing as has his staff. He is great to ask and answer questions. I had an ablation about a month ago performed by him and all went well. He is very knowledgeable and takes his time figuring out what’s going on with you. Any time I have a question or concern I can leave a message with a receptionist and someone will get back to me the same day. His staff members are also friendly and helpful. I know they are super busy, but I never feel rushed.

Five star doctor
Dr Katari literally saved my life. I was diagnosed with afib and two other heart arrhythmias in August of 2022. In December of 2022 Dr Katari spent 6 tedious hours performing a heart catheter ablation which was very successful. I've had no atrial fibrillation, flutter, or tachycardia since my ablation. Dr katari took the time with me in his office to explain every step prior to the ablation and what I could expect prior to and after the ablation. His staff was courteous and kind throughout the procedure and stay at the hospital. Thank you Dr Katari!

5 Star Doctor/Tulsa is lucky to have such great Dr
Dr Katari’s staff are very kind and made it easy for me to make appointments. I’ve never had to wait long periods in the waiting room. He never seems rushed and always does a through examination asking his questions and answering all of mine completely. I leave his office feeling the weight of my concerns lifted from my shoulders. I feel very lucky to have found such a great doctor in my own backyard. I trust Dr. Katari to take excellent care of my health for years to come.

Dr Katari is great. His resident James is not.
When you are referred to a specialist on the heart, and you already had a heart attack 11 months ago, but you get seen by a resident and never Katari, it’s a problem. Especially when you are worse than the last 3 times you have seen Katari. Obviously there’s a problem and the RESIDENT should never call you a liar about your issues when you and your Dr have diagnosed it and see it every day. People cannot survive when their bpm hits 40-42 3-4 times a day and you are passing out.
