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.

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 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 :)

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.

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

Having skin cancer is scary enough. Experiencing it for a second time, on my face, is terrifying. As an executive in the beauty industry - where appearances matter - I was dismayed by the results of my first Moh's surgery with another physician. It left me disfigured for months. When I came to Dr Rattner with my second skin cancer, I was so concerned and upset. Her truly caring spirit coupled with an expert, on point approach was heartwarming. Dr Rattner is a far superior Moh's and reconstructive surgeon than the fancy derm and plastic surgeon team that I went to for my first surgery. She is meticulous, detail oriented and obsessive about pre + post surgery follow-up - all of which make her 5 stars in my book.
