Margaret Ravits S MD Dermatologist

Best dermatologist practice around. Knowledge is second to none, never an issue with bedside manner, straight shooter — gets to the point and gets you on your way.
Maybe some people have prefer to be coddled, I just want to get in, get out, and get healed quickly. I’ve had acne cleared up that I thought would never go away, along with skin growths removed, wouldn’t trust anyone else after going here. If you feel like nothing is working for you, give her a call, you will get your confidence back.

Dr. Ravitz is the best!
I have been struggling with cystic acne for over 5 years and tried tons of topical treatments and medications to get rid of it with other dermatologists but to no avail and it just kept getting worse.
Just one month after my first visit with Dr. Ravitz and my cystic acne has calmed down completely. I have gained confidence back thanks to the skin regiment she has me on and I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to see the continued progress and clear skin!
Thank you Dr. Ravitz!

She is a tremendous person and a brilliant diagnostician. Her staff is efficient and super friendly. They have been with her for many years which speaks volumes. I would not go anywhere else for my skin needs.

A visit to this practice is an unpleasant experience. The staff is lifeless and seem uninterested in patients. I made an appointment specifically in reference to a refill for an rx I needed and was assigned Dr. Garcia over the phone; I didn’t pick her. When I arrived at reception, the person barely looked up from his computer as he was typing. He took my insurance card and waited 30 mins, not something I love to do because the point of an appointment is that we all lead busy lives and I don’t want to be waiting. This is a common practice in medicine but I still don’t like it. So I was called inside and waited in an exam room and in floats the apparent doctor without even introducing herself with an assistant of sorts and starts talking. I find myself answering questions to someone whose position I’m not even sure of. It was only that I saw her name on a folder that I knew it was her. Don’t know even get me started on the assistant. Why am I talking to 2 people instead of 1? What happened to privacy? Not to mention the assistant didn’t introduce herself either. At the end of the day did I get my prescription? You know the reason I came in and was assigned this doctor? No. She doesn’t happen to prescribe that medication. Don’t you think that would have been important to tell me when you assigned me this doctor? Instead, a need to make yet another appointment with another doctor in this dreadful practice. Save yourself the trouble and find another office that doesn’t act like they’re doing you a favor.

First off let me say I was recommended to see Dr. Ravitz by another doctor who I have seen for over 15 years and has been wonderful. With that said I will not go back. Dr. Ravitz interrogates you and so does her nurses about what you are washing with and what products you use. I understand they have to ask questions but there’s a polite way to do so. I’m an educated professional and I don’t appreciate feeling like I’m being interrogated.
I have skin darkening on my neck and arms and of course none of this was resolved in the 9 months I saw Dr. Ravitz. I had already had the darkening biopsied by the paramus dermatology group and she was insisting it needed to be biopsied again. I told her absolutely not as everytime it needs to be stitched closed and leaves a scar. Paramus sent over their results too so she had their reports. Strike one.
She’s only there two days a week from about 9 – 2. Riiighhhtt bc no one works. So basically if you’re not retired or a stay at home mom good luck getting an appointment. You can take the day off like I did to find the waiting room full and have to wait an hour to see her. Strike two.
I was given an examination and Dr. Ravitz looked me over in a very uncomfortable manner. She wanted to see my backside to see if there was other patches of darkening but instead of asking me politely she just looked all over and I felt embarrassed. It was awkward bc she’s so abrupt and in rush. Strike 3 and on to the next derm.

If I could give 0 stars I would.
I saw a doctor at the Hackensack location (won’t disclose her name). Lacking bedside manner is an understatement. She didn’t even introduce herself when she entered the room and I have never met the woman before. She acted uninterested and looked like she could have cared less about me and the reason I was there. I tried to ask questions, however she was already half way out the door and didn’t bother to turn around or even pretend to humor me.
If you are looking for a physician to treat you with respect like any human being deserves, educate you and help you with your medical condition (as a good physician would and should) and just not throw prescriptions at you, she is not your doctor. I could have saved my $ 50 copay and mailed it to google, as they provided more information than she did. To top it off, she hollered once she was out the door to come back in a month. Ummmm, no, definitely not.

First of all I have to mention that I am not kind of person who writes reviews. I had my first appointment in ⁹⁄₁₄. I was given the latest appointment at 3:15 as I was told by receptionist that I will be the last patient and when I asked her if I can come in later she said there is no latest appointment than 3:15 as after that office closes. So I arrived there on time and when I asked receptionist is there anyone in front of me she said ‘yes there are two people in front of you.’ I was so surprised that I was told the wrong info from the beginning. At least she could have said that they have a later appointment some other day. Anyway when dr. Margaret came to see me she was very fast and inpatient after my each question she was ready to leave the room. And so instead of me having a full physical exam by dr. Margaret, she just asked me a few question and left the room. I didn’t have any chances to ask her any question.
Totally my wait time was an about 1 hour and duration of the appointment 5 min.
This is the most terrible experience I’ve ever had among doctors.

Not to happy with the treatment after the fact in terms of billing. I was a cash patient and I asked for all costs upfront and paid them for it. Next thing you know I get a bill for another 55.00, and when I called to inquire, you would have thought I was talking to a bunch of thugs. Very hard tones and attitudes, especially from a woman whose name starts with an «M».
I know this is Jersey, but I thought I was dealing with physician’s office and not with «Vinny’s Got an Attitude Pizzeria.»
I was transferred to multiple people, including finally, the «billing department,» where they were intent on educating me on their procedures – when they could barely make an effort to read or understand what my medical record said, and what the charges were.
First they told me it was an insurance deductible. Huh? I paid you cash. Then they said, oh, you got to talk to the doctor. Talk to the doctor about what? I can barely get past the front desk without an attitude.
Then they said I signed some paper agreeing to extra charges. When I asked where that was… oh, they have to look for it. Really? Are you serious?
I did not expect to have to deal with a bunch of thuggish people on the phone in trying to resolve something.
Even now, the issue is still not resolved. It’s not about the money, it’s about the principle.
Don’t tell me everything is included when I pay you – and then have some bill sent to me after the fact.
I won’t be going to this office again.
