Dr Ratnavel provided excellent service, clearly explaining the problem in a way that was very relatable for a teenage boy.

I found Dr Ravi Ratnavel to be a superb professional with a comforting and informative manner. The whole process was efficient and effective from the start and I was relieved at how painless and proficient the procedure was. Recovery was straightforward and assurances of support given. The follow up session was informative and generated an understanding of where future support may focus. I will not hesitate to refer to Dr Ravi at any point in the future and can only recommend him at the highest level.

I am so grateful to have been referred to Dr Ratnavel. He was welcoming, understanding and put me at ease. I felt immediately I was in safe and expert hands. He was able to give an accurate diagnosis on first examination, gave careful consideration to the right treatment decisions and carried out my surgical procedure in such an expert way that it has healed quickly and will leave hardly any trace. His calm manner removed any anxiety. I received good advice on aftercare and Dr Ratnavel replied immediately when I emailed with questions. My follow-up appointment with further treatment went equally well. Dr Ratnavel's staff are also friendly and efficient and the patient portal worked well. Dr Ratnavel is highly skilled and provides superb care of the highest quality. I would not hesitate to recommend him or to return to him if I have any concerns in future.

I had a very positive experience and cannot believe the difference in my skin. I honestly was at a point where i thought nothing would work and i would just have to live with my acne before starting roaccutane and never would have believed it would clear up as much as it has!!

Is a colleague

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.
