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…

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.

The best

Have had a lot of major surgeries from coronary to prostate cancer surgery, by far this has been the best experience as far as care from Doctors, nurses and overall treatment. Highly recommend Dr. Ratner and her surgical staff.

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.
