I had to go in for surgery because I had sebaceous cyst on my back, it was done under general anesthesia, I am recovering now and probably will be able to swim again and do other summer activities! Thank you Doctor Mike!

Unbelievable that in this day and age a Dr.'s office does not accept a Credit card because he does not want to pay the fee. The person answering his phone has worked there for 18 years and was very uncaring and rude. She then did a follow up rude call.. Evidence of her rudeness and uncaring attitude was recorded.

I happened to get sick on my stomach and ended up being admitted to the hospital, Dr. Ratliff was very patient and did everything possible for me not to have surgery. I am visiting from Dallas and I am glad he was my doctor.

I ended up with Dr. Ratliff for a gallbladder removal after another surgeon canceled on me at the last minute, and I'm so grateful that happened. Dr. Ratliff was wonderful. He answered all of my questions (and my mother's) and never seemed to be in a hurry, and he was very warm and caring and easy to talk to. When my surgery was a little more complicated than he initially expected, he was still able to complete it laparoscopically, which saved me a nasty scar and tougher recovery. The best thing about Dr. Ratliff was his bedside manner -- he even said a really nice prayer for me with my family before the surgery. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a surgeon on Houston, or anywhere in Texas for that matter.
