When Layna Haidar was 20 years old, she followed in her mother’s footsteps and chose UTHealth Houston for her gynecologic care. There, she became a patient of Allan R. Katz, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist at UT Physicians.
From her very first visit, Layna found more than a physician. She found a trusted partner in her health journey. Dr. Katz supported her through complex challenges while consistently advocating for her care.
Nearly 40 years later, that trust has come full circle. Today, Layna’s daughters also see Dr. Katz, benefiting from care rooted in a deep understanding of their family’s history.
This Mother’s Day, we celebrate moms like Layna, whose care and guidance help shape the health and strength of generations to come.
