I have absolute respect and confidence in Dr. Katsumoto as a person and a physician. She is so amazing! Every appointment I have with her is a pleasure. I truly believe she is my friend and really cares about me as a person and as her patient. It doesn't matter whether we meet in person or on a video visit, she is always the same kind, friendly, warm person. I consider her my biggest cheerleader. She is always happy with my progress, even the small successes I have. I know she is very busy but she takes the time necessary to have a good discussion about my progress, any issues, etc. She is never in a hurry.
I do have to say that my condition is so improved in the last few years than when I was seeing another physician for my condition. I do not want to disparage another physician, but the improvement in symptoms and the progress I have made with Dr. Katsumoto is phenomenal. I have rheumatoid arthritis, it is not curable, but the suggestions she has made and the medication she prescribes has made a huge difference and turned my life around. I was in so much pain before, it was debilitating. I had very little joy in life because of the pain and immobility. Dr. Katsumoto has me on a medication that has been a tremendous help. Also her support, her suggestions all go to making my life so much more worth living. Seriously, I mean it. I can play with my granddaughter, I can bend over to pick something up off the floor, I can dance, I can cook and clean with little difficulty. Seeing Dr. Katsumoto has been life changing. I do not have one negative thing to say about Dr. Katsumoto. She is a wonderful person who cares very much for her patients. The truth is I'm sure many of her patients can sometimes be hard to deal with because we are in pain. Everytime I see Dr. Katsumoto I come out of the office and think, "I can do this, I can get better because of what she has told me." I am nearly 74 years old so I am no spring chicken but I have a good quality of life which only means hopefully I can prolong it as long as possible. I am certain Dr. Katsumoto is helping me do that. We are a team.

dr. katsumoto is so great. I think I have been seeing her for over three years for rheumatoid arthritis. I was diagnosed with the disease thirteen years ago. The last three years or so I have felt so much better than I did the previous ten years. She put me on a medical regimen that has greatly improved my condition which means I have a much higher quality of life.
The best thing about Dr. Katsumoto is her genuine care and concern for her patients. I actually feel that we are friends. She is warm and kind. She is actually my biggest cheerleader celebrating my successes and providing support when I’m having difficulty. She is always so happy when I am feeling well and she gets most of the credit for that. This past visit we discussed different meal plan options I can try eating foods that can contribute to an even better quality of life.
When I first called Stanford to make an appointment I was assigned Dr. Katsumoto—I did not know who she was in advance. I am so glad that she was the physician assigned to tend to my care. In addition to being greatly improved because of her care, I have implicit trust and confidence in her. I would rate her as one of the two best doctors I have ever visited in my 73 years of life. I am so glad I found her.

Dr. Katsumoto is awesome. I cannot think of one thing about her that I don't like. She is extremely knowledgeable and capable. She is an excellent physician and I think she likes what she does. She really cares about her patients and after a visit with her I feel so great. She celebrates our triumphs and encourages us when we need to do better. I never feel lectured to but I feel like she and I are partners in my care.
My disease has greatly improved since I have been in her care. I live 90 minutes from Stanford so it isn't always convenient to get there. I do not want to disparage another physician but I was very unhappy with my previous doctor. It is worth the 90 minute trip to Stanford to be attended to by a physician of Dr. Katsumoto's caliber. Plus she's just a nice person and I consider her my friend.
I am very grateful to be treated by Dr. Katsumoto and to be a patient at Stanford.

I always enjoy seeing Dr. Katsumoto every time. She is extremely knowledgeable and shares that knowledge with me pertinent to my situation. Obviously, I have a great deal of respect for her. She is an amazing doctor and really cares about her patients.
What I like most about her though is that she is my biggest cheerleader. That is not meant to be flip or disrespectful. She is genuinely pleased when I have even a small success. She encourages me to do things that will help my condition. When I am through speaking with her I feel like I can do anything. Her encouragement spurs me on to take better care of myself. I feel that she genuinely cares about her patients.
I have to say this one thing—my condition has HUGELY improved in the time I have seen her. Honestly, I was extremely discouraged with my previous rheumatologist in my local town. I thought I was going to be in significant pain for the rest of my life. Working with Dr. Katsumoto has turned my condition around. She has worked very hard to find the right medication to help me. She has encouraged me to eat better, to exercise, to do all the things needed for an improved quality of life. She is a huge asset to Stanford and is exactly the type of physician that you should employ. I have nothing but kudos for Dr. Katsumoto.
