I was referred to Dr. Ratner by my local area dermatologist.  I had basal cell carcinoma. Dr. Ratner did a surgical removal at the Mt Sinai Cancer Center in NYC. Everything went very smooth with no complications. Dr. Ratner explained everything and the the staff was very friendly ..  made me feel comfortable even though the procedure was quite involved and could have been personally stressful. Followup visits were on schedule and went well too. I highly recommend  Dr. Ratner
