Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ravin is the very best. No need to look around for another doctor- this is the one. He is professional, thorough and caring. He pursues treating all my many complicated conditions. I am blessed to have his care. I have had several 'not so good doctots'. Sheldon Ravin deserves top honors.

Rude and Curt
He was being paid to be after hours on call then went off about being woke up for my wife's problem. Not the kind of person I want to take care of me.

He definitely believes drugs fix everything.
I felt very dismissed. He didn’t do a thorough history of my illness-depended on the 1st day med student. Demanded I take a test with no real reason-just so we know. Pushed for me to take all kinds of pharmaceutical’s with no mention of natural healthy options. Seemed very dismissive when I said I’d take homeopathy. Then charted all kinds of wrong statements.

Dr Ravin is an amazing doctor. He actually takes time to talk to you and listen to you. He makes sure that you get the best treatment. He is one of the few doctors I can say he puts patients first and actually cares about them.

I have seen him for 30 years. So has my other family members. The doctor is great and helpful. The only one problems is the ladies doing the scheduling. But that doesn't have much to do with him.

I've been a patient of Dr. Ravin for 20 years and wouldn't dream of seeing any other doctor, he's the best! He takes the time needed to understand my concerns. I have an unusual ailment that no one's been able to cure yet but Dr. Ravin is always researching and trying to help me find answers and treatment. As others have mentioned he does frequently run late but this is due to his level of concern for his patients but he's definitely worth the wait.

I've been a patient of Dr Ravin since 1987! He's the best! He spends quality time with me to address my needs and my concerns. He cares about me and my family even though they are not his patients only due to insurance shenanigans. The staff is always friendly and supportive. This guy understands me well! As long as he's in practice he will be my doctor! I just love this guy and I wouldn't trade him for a million bucks

First.. he tends to run late. This is because he will take the time needed for each patient, not the time the insurance companies allot him for each patient. He is highly knowledgable, friendly, and compassionate. He regularly suggests treatments that are cutting edge, indicating that he's very, very actively continuing his educational reading. He's responsive and I've never had a problem getting an urgent appointment.
