"Having read the research, and performed the first human clinical trial on Zyflamend, I am confident that the New Chapter products contain the highest and purest quality of natural herbs from the earth. I have observed countless numbers of patients in my practice who have benefited from the products, and there is not a day that goes by that I do not take the products myself"

Dr. Aaron E. Katz is currently an Associate Professor of Clinical Urology and the Vice Chairman of Urology at Columbia University Medical Center. He has been a faculty member at Columbia since 1993. He also holds a title as the Director of the Center for Holistic Urology, a Center which he established in 1998. The Center performs basic research and conducts clinical trials which investigate the role of natural therapies within urology. Dr. Katz is currently serving as the Principle Investigator for numerous clinical trials.

After graduating from New York Medical College in 1986, Dr. Katz completed a 6 year training program in Brooklyn at the Maimonides Medical Center. Following the completion of his residency, Dr. Katz was awarded a Ferdinand Valentine Fellowship from the New York Academy of Medicine to further his studies in Urologic Oncology at Columbia University. During his Fellowship, Dr. Katz developed a novel blood test , which could detect small numbers of prostate cancer cells in the blood. The test known as RT-PCR (Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction) was the first time urologic cancers were staged using a molecular assay. He has received several awards and grants to further his research. Dr. Katz is also recognized as an expert in the field of prostate cryosurgery. In the early 1990’s, he began using cryosurgery to cure prostate cancers. His pioneer work in advancing the technology helped Medicare approve of this therapy for treating radiation-recurrent tumors. Dr. Katz has trained nearly 100 urologists in the United States and Europe to perform cryosurgery in their hospital. In the field of cryosurgery Dr. Katz has published numerous articles, written chapters for medical textbooks, and directed courses at both regional and national levels. He has also applied cryosurgery to the treatment of small kidney tumors, and performed the ablation both percutaneously and laparascopically.

To date, Dr. Katz has published over 70 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, and has written 4 chapters for Urologic textbooks. He is the author of two recently published books: ‘Dr. Katz’s Guide to Mens Health: From Conventional to Holistic’ and the “Handbook of Urologic Cryoablation’. He has been the host of a radio program called “Mens Health Talk” in New York City for several years and he has lectured extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Japan.

Dr. Katz has an office at the Columbia University Medical Center, as well as a convenient East Side office in Midtown Manhattan. He can be reached for consultation at (212) 305-6408. Medicare and several commercial insurances are accepted.
