About Me
Here’s what attracted me most to neurology: the amazing brain. I’m fascinated by what the brain does to the rest of the body and the influence a healthy brain has in somebody’s life.
I am a board certified neurologist with subspecialty training in Alzheimer's disease and dementia. I evaluate patients with neurological conditions, and I specialize in the field of dementia.
I believe that educating patients and families about their conditions can help them manage neurological disease the best way they can. When I educate patients about their disease, they become an active part of treatment, follow-up and prevention. They are able to monitor their course and respond to their treatment plan.
As a physician, I’m responsible for the patient and want him or her to be aware of the diagnosis and treatment plan. I want to help them make informed decisions about their health.

Prompt, professional communication
Excellent!
The doctor and the doctor's assistant was very good lesson well answer the questions very pleased
Phenomenal. She knows her stuff neuropsychiatrist. I learned a LOT from her. She knew what history tests & studies to obtain to nail down the underlying cause for my cognitive impairment. Makes recommendations and discusses options, but lets me decide. I am a retired psychiatrist, so she lets me research the options. By far, she is undoubtedly one of the finest neuropsychiatrists in the business. I'm grateful to have her on my "team".
I was there for memory evaluation - I do not have one complaint. Everyone was very helpful & made sure I got what I needed. It was a pleasant experience.
Dr. K is well informed of all details of my case.
Nice job.
Dr. Kataki makes you feel important - heard. Not all physicians do.
Bright, well-informed, thorough, focused on getting an accurate diagnosis. Because I did not quality for a dx of mild cognitive impairment, it appeared she did not think further care (preventive or otherwise) was indicated.

Absolutely knowledgeable and thorough. Took time with me and explained everything to my satisfaction.
Was completely not prepared for our referred visit. Seems like she will be good in future, hoping so. But after a referral and the length of time we had to wait to see a specialist, and what we are going through, it would have been nice if records were reviewed ahead of time instead of "so why are you here today'
Very complete workup and follow up. Respectful and great listener.
She is always open and out front with questions
