Dr. Ratner is a terrific doctor, and I highly recommend him. I have been his patient for several years, and before him, I was his partner, Dr. Genovese's patient for over 20 years until he went boutique. I never have to wait more than 15 minutes, if even that, to be seen. Dr. Ratner takes his time to explain your condition and how to remedy it. He keeps meticulous records and goes over them with you for every appointment. His offices are always immaculate, and his staff is happy, friendly, and competent.

First time seeing Dr. Ratner and was very impressed by the time he spent with me and explained my situation. It is nice to be able to spend quality time and not be rushed by a doctor. I was taken within 5 minutes of entering his office. Do not hesitate to see Doctor Ratner.

Impossible to reach to discuss test results. Perhaps too many patients .

We have been going to Dr. Ratner for years. He is an excellent doctor with a great bedside manner. I have also been seen by others in the practice. Wonderful medical practice.

He has been my doctor for over ten years and he is a no nonsense caring individual. He answers any and all questions that I ask and will spend as much time with you as you need. Treats you very personally and professionally. I would (and have) recommended him to friends and family.

CT scan showed that there is a problem with my lung. My first visit to Dr Ratner was very unimpressive. He said he don't think I have a problem. Second visit he confirmed that my lung was absolutely ok. I had a second opinion. My new doctor confirmed I have a serious bacterial infection in my lung and treated it with antiobiotics. If I didn't had the second opinion I didn't know what would have happened.
