I have been seeing Dr. Ratner since 2014. She is very friendly and listens to your concerns. She is very frank and will tell you exactly what the issue is, what your choices are and gives you an option and she breaks it down to details of what the issues are.. Along with Dr. Ratner, some of her other team members are very friendly and nice as well and makes you feel very welcome - Amy and Sonni. So far, I've had a pleasant experience with her and knows you as an individual. I have visited her in Stamford numerous times - one time I went to Yale and I'd definitely say that Stamford visits were more pleasant because of her team members there. However; I had D&C done in Yale - New Haven twice and had an excellent crew who went above and beyond and were very nice both times.
