I have worked with Dr Ratnavel as a consultant colleague for over 17 years, in both the National Health Service and in the private sector. He is an excellent and courteous dermatologist. He has always provided an incisive diagnosis on skin-related issues which I have had to refer for an opinion. This has been followed by a well-thought out management plan. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a fellow professional. Indeed, when I had a dermatological issue myself, it is to him that I turned.
