About Michael "Dr. Mike" Katz

Dr. Mike Katz

Dr. Mike Katz is a physician, business owner, public servant, family man, and man of faith who has spent his life caring for people when they are most vulnerable. He earned his Medical Degree and MBA in International Business from Georgetown University. Over two decades as an anesthesiologist and pediatric critical-care specialist, he cared for tens of thousands of patients — from fragile newborns to seniors — earning the trust of families in their most difficult moments.

A Life of Service to Delaware

Dr. Katz came to Delaware in 1996 when he was recruited from Boston Children's Hospital to A.I. duPont Hospital for Children, following a national search for a pediatric critical-care anesthesiologist. He and his wife Trish have been married for 39 years and raised their three children in Delaware. Delaware has been his home for nearly three decades and the community he has spent his career serving.

The Full Story

Dr. Katz's path is not a contradiction. It is the story of a man who has always put people above party, and who has followed the evidence wherever it leads.
