My daughter has been seeing Dr. Ravin for approximately two years after spending 9 months in two different treatment centers for anorexia. Extremely frustrated that our daughter was still struggling, we contacted Dr. Ravin. Dr. Ravin successfully guided us through helping our daughter FULLY recover from her eating disorder. She is so supportive and always quick to be there if you need her. The support she provided to our entire family continues to be invaluable.

Dr. Ravin treated our daughter who was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa at age 14. Her use of Family Based Treatment was integral to our daughter's recovery and she was able to remain with us at home during the course of her recovery. This evidence based treatment option is sometimes overlooked by other practitioners and fills a gap in South Florida.
