Dr. Rahn Ravenell, DPM

He was willing to fix the problem causing the problem. Dr Hatchet just wanted to make money. Not cure the problem.

I found Dr. Ravenell to be knowledgeable, intelligent, and kind. He knew what I had, and advised me on a course of treatment. I'll see him again for myself and I'll recommend him for sure.

Ravenell performed a bunion removal surgery, aka "standard procedure, everything will be alright, I do these every day", on me. Fast forward six months and a slew of x-rays, I was reassured that the foot was healing perfectly and the screw implant was holding up. Except it started to back out rapidly. During the follow-up appointment Ravenell was totally disinterested, told me he used the particular kind of screw because "the hospital's bottomline" wouldn't benefit from a bioabsorbable screw since "we are talking about a difference of a couple of hundred and a thousand". Like, anyone bothered to ask me what my bottomline would benefit from or whether I could pay for the better implant. I was told the office would follow up with me to schedule a 2nd surgery. The follow up was a call straight to my voicemail approximately a month after the visit. Meanwhile the screw keeps backing out. If you need your toenails clipped, he might be able to help, but other than that check your options.

I found him to be extremely polite and he took a lot of time explaining and answered all of my questions. He did. It rush my appointment. I was very impressed.

Dr. Ravenell has been consistently unprofessional and disrespectful. His attitude towards me was from the start dismissive and disinterested. He barely examined my toe nails, and then took a biopsy of one nail using an unsterile pair of scissors from his pocket. On my second visit he was more congenial, and I was willing to forgive him the first visit (perhaps he'd had a bad day, though still not acceptable to treat patients that way). Subsequently, however, getting a Rx or a refill proved to be fraught with difficulties: he delayed sending the Rx in to the pharmacy; he then sent it in to the wrong pharmacy; he refused (without explanation) to include any refills - repeatedly; he ignored a request to increase the volume dispensed to ensure continuity of treatment; he ignored my request to please just call me to explain what is going on. This is simply offensive and unacceptable care.

Dr. RAVENELL is very patient, educated, and gentle. Did a great job on my ingrown nail.
