I am 69 and she is the best doctor I have ever had for anything.

Large, clean and pleasant office and staff. Completely automated, so no repetitive info required. You just tell them you are there and take a seat. Never waited more than 5 minutes. My 3rd MOHS. Checked doctors background, education and experience. All top-notch. Doctor even talked to my partner and called me after surgery to check on me. No doctor has ever done that before.

In great, caring hands from the beginning to final visit.

Dr. Ratner reassured me that this would be a small problem and easy to repair vs. the large defect/skin graft from my prior BCC.
Her layout and staff made her office a welcoming and safe place during the covid time. I had 6 followup visits for mini cortisone shots to make the scar on my nose heal as smooothly as possible.
I highly recommend Dr. Ratner to anyone facing Mohs surgery, especially if you are afraid.You will be in the right hands.

Pleasant and efficient

Dr Ratner was very kind and easy to work with. When I told her that I had a young rambunctious toddler at home, she recommended a carcinoma removal procedure that took that well into account. Her staff was professional, friendly and worked with me to get my new health insurance information into their system.

Very Impressive! Very Nice! Extremely Competent!

Dr. Ratner has performed MOHS surgery on both my wife and myself. In the case of my wife, the surgery was extensive, and it was on my wife's face. It is almost impossible to now to see that there was any surgery at all. I am extremely impressed with the results of Dr. Ratner's surgery, and as a bonus she is a very nice person with a great bedside manner. I do not exaggerate.

I never felt a moment of anxiety at any point during the surgery or the recovery period.

From the beginning when Dr. Ratner's staff explained how things worked through the various medical procedures, I always had a clear idea of what was happening. Regarding the surgery itself, Dr. Ratner made every effort not only to deal with the cancer (which was by my knee) but also to ensure that I would have no problems walking. Dr. Ratner & her staff have my sincere and heartfelt gratitude for their efforts.

Bye Bye Basal - Brilliant Work

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Ratner. I had to have something removed from my upper-lip in a very difficult spot and it healed beautifully. She is timely, talented, personable and simply wonderful in every way (as is her staff). 5 stars all around from procedure to instructions and follow-up and care. I am grateful to have been referred to her for this procedure and thank her for her work :)

extraordinary practice in every aspect!

No comparison to previous experiences in other medical settings. Not only is Dr Ratner tops in her field but she has established a practice in a setting that is so welcoming, so calm,so pleasant,so caring! She obviously knew what was needed and made sure to include it all.
Bravo Dr Ratner! There need to be more like you and your staff!

a positive experience

Dr. Ratner removed a skin cancer on my nose. She did a wonderful job. It was painless and the results are terrific. One can barely see that I had stitches on my nose.
