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.

Caring and Skilled
I have now seen Dr. Ravits several times over the past few years. She is always extremely helpful, takes plenty of time during your visit to ascertain the issues at hand, and provides sensible treatment plans that work! I am also extremely grateful to Dr. Ravits for seeing me on short notice when very much needed. 5-Stars!!!!!

A Remarkable Healthcare Experience with Dr. Margar
Our recent experience with Dr. Margaret Ravits left us profoundly impressed with her exceptional dedication and expertise. When my mother developed a mysterious skin condition, Dr. Ravits not only responded promptly to my outreach on her personal cellphone but also went above and beyond by scheduling an early morning appointment on her day off. This level of commitment demonstrated her unwavering dedication to patient care and set the tone for the outstanding care that followed.During our appointment, Dr. Ravits showcased a rare combination of compassion and professionalism. Her ability to communicate complex medical information in a clear and accessible manner reassured us, and her swift and effective treatment plan underscored her deep understanding of dermatology. Dr. Ravits' continued support over the years, coupled with her accessibility despite a busy schedule, has made her an invaluable healthcare partner for our family. In light of our positive experiences, we wholeheartedly

re: Liz, the Nurse Practitioner
Liz is an outstanding health professional. She made me feel at ease during the body scan, with her reassuring smile and words. She answered every question I asked. Not only did she take great care of my health, but she combined personal touches and care for a patient as a person. The office staff was welcoming and warm. The nurse who stayed in the exam room was personable and also knowledgeable.

None better then Dr. Ravits
Dr. Ravits is by far the best Doctor you will ever meet. She is professional, caring and knowledgable. BUT what sets her apart from any doctors (regardless of their specialty), is her undivided attention and the results you will have from her expertise . I had a serious problem. When others were unable to solve a bacterial infection after knee Surgery or even took it as serious as it was, she immediately went into combat mode and saved me. She makes herself available and accessible even on weekends and holidays if necessary and it was in my case. In my almost 70 years, i have never had care even close to what Dr. Ravits provides. You will know without a doubt that you are in the hands of a great mind. She provides exceptional care. My husband and i am eternally grateful to her.

Wondering what just happened
Dr Ravits came into the room and looked me over for no more than 15 seconds. She provided almost no insight into the issue for which I was there. She scribbled the name of an over the counter ointment and said “see you next year.” Everything happened so fast that I wasn’t able to ask any questions. I left feeling like it was a scam. Now I have to find another doctor and start all over again.

Highest recommendation for Dr. Margaret Ravits
Dr. Ravits has been my dermatologist for over 25 years now. She has always been "there" for me, with a call-back, with her expertise and caring. She took care of my aged Mom over 20 years ago. Her compassion and kindness were extraordinary. The staff is always accommodating and attentive. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Ravits, which she has earned through the years, in every way.... She's just the best!!

A very professional, caring and competent practice
I am so pleased and grateful for finding this practice The office staff was so helpful and attentive to my urgent dermatological concern this week and scheduled me an appointment as soon as possible. The office is organized and welcoming, I would like to thank Sondra and Patty and all who tend the front desk. The medical team of Dr. Stanger and Grace were so calming, gentle and caring and listened carefully to my history and needs. Keep up the great work and thank you!

Great Practice wonderful doctors and staff!
I switched to this practice after being recommended there for mohs surgery for a basal carcinoma. Not only was Dr Terushkin ( mohs surgeon) excellent and did a great job, but doctors Margaret Ravitz and Rosy Kellen-Stanger could not have been kinder, more thorough or more helpful , answering my concerns personally by phone call and so generous with their time too ! The staff too Kathy, Kelly and Sandra are lovely and friendly. Just decent , kind professionals who genuinely care- which is rare in these times I find! Their no-nonsense focus on real Dermatology instead of beauty treatments ( more profitable for some dermatologist offices ) is commendable . If you have a genuine skin problem especially skin cancer is would say you are in the right place for skin checks!

Dr. Margaret Ravits
Dr. Ravits is an exceptional doctor that truly cares about her patients. Her expertise gives her the ability to correctly diagnose every situation. Dr. Ravits will not hesitate to inform her patients of every method available to resolve an issue. Other doctors seem to suggest only surgeries instead of precribing a cream that could provide a less invasive remedy. Her personal interest and care in providing patients with her E-mail and text number goes beyond any expectation. I would not hesitate to recommend her and her staff to anyone needing help.

I came in to see Dr. Stanger with an issue, and I can humbly say that she has gone Above and Beyond to make sure that I am okay and is always checking in with me. She is the kind of doctor that you want on your team! Someone that TRULY cares about her patients, and never to be busy to listen or guide you in the right direction! Not only she is supportive, but caring and truly wants to solve the issue to get you back to your normal life! During this ordeal, Dr. Stanger has been wonderful, patient and her bedside manner is extraordinary! I sincerely appreciate all her help during this tough ordeal! Thank you very much, Dr. Stanger! Also, I would like to thank Patti, she always makes me feel like I am apart of the office family! She always make sure that I am okay, and any requested is fulfilled! What a great office - thank you!!

Most pleasant dermatology visit I have ever experienced. Amazing amount of follow-up by Dr. Ravits and Dr. Therushkin. This practice is not your average 2 minute visit and checkup. The staff is excellent and attentive and concerned about their patients. Wait time is minimal so they are attentive to scheduling. And you will be hard-pressed to find any better doctors in this field. What more could you ask for ? The practice scores high in all areas.

Excellent. Dr. Ravits will enquire about my life, and that of my husband e.g. while checking my skin. Dr. Ravits will be optimistic, realizing that I am a person as well as a patient. The doctor is busy and therefore the visit is not long, but I believe that her look is better than someone who takes longer. The staff is caring while trying to accommodate patients in a busy practice.

A foreign object, in my lower abdomen, became badly infected. Dr. Ravits was willing to see me shortly after I contacted her office. From that point on, I received the most attentive personal care that I ever received from a doctor in my 55+ years. I met Dr. Ravits in the early 80's, and I was told she was the best. After all these years of occasional care from her and her staff, I still agree with that.

The only good thing about the office was Elizabeth Walsh, she was caring and attentive and did a great job removing a tumor. The scheduling staff is the worst! They incorrectly scheduled me 3 times. Why would I go for a stitch removal 2 months after the procedure? At one point I saw Dr. Ravits herself and she didn't know what I was there for or what the plan of care moving forward was that was initially discussed with Elizabeth. The office doesn't know what they are doing and are rushing to get you out of there asap. I would never recommend them.

Disappointed. – Jul 14, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ravits?
The care I received from Dr's Walsh and Ravits was exemplary. The entire staff was consistent with this level of empathetic care, including assistant staff members Peggy and Patti, as well as the office personnel, especially Mindy who navigated insurance coverage details. I unwittingly called just after hours and Dr Ravits answered, spent generous time with me to address the nature of the call and left me assured of her genuine concern and availability. The genuineness of their concerted efforts to treat my condition drew my personal concern into confidence in their care, which they vindicate and reinforce with every follow-up visit.
