I saw Dr Ratnavel about a mole I was concerned about. Given my family history of melanoma, we discussed the different options, and I ultimately decided to have it excised. The procedure went very smoothly, as did the follow-up appointment to discuss the results and remove the stitches.
Very thorough and explained with clarity, very reassuring
Can’t arrange an appointment for months. Totally unacceptable
Sorry to hear this. The clinics are busy, but most patients schedule wothin 10 days via the Cleveland Clinic Call centre or online via my website. Dr R
Excellent appointment with Head of Dermatology Dr Ravi Ratnavel who is the most sympathetic, clear, patient and helpful doctor I have ever encountered. It was a really positive experience.
Dr Ravi Ratnavel was excellent. In just a 15-minute consultation, he explained a problem that I had been trying to solve for years. I'm so grateful for his expertise. He was also kind and lovely throughout.

I have worked with Ravi for over 20 years. He is an utmost professional. The patients I send to him for a clinical opinion, time and time again, say how pleased they were to see a doctor who provided clear explanations. I highly recommend Dr. Ratnavel to any patient requiring high level dermatological advice

Mr Ian Currie
Obstetrician & GynaecologistI 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.
