Ratzman David M MD

Dr. Ratzman is the most compassionate and efficient doctor I have worked with regarding my cervical spine pain and problems. Not only is he amazing, but his support staff are also high-performers. I am treated like a person, and my concerns are heard. Dr. Ratzman has a sense of urgency, and I can tell he genuinely cares about my condition and life. I highly recommend Dr. Ratzman to anyone suffering from spine issues.

My primary physician recommended Dr. Ratzman for the management of pain for my neck. Prior to this recommendation, I returned to a former pain management doctor who provided an injection in my neck with no results. During my first visit with Dr Ratzman, he throughly reviewed my previous records and procedures and offered a different approach. I was able to schedule my procedure easily and get treatment without waiting so long in pain. Unfortunately I was not able to return due to other medical issues not involving my neck. But I wished I had gone to Dr Ratzman when I was in pain from the beginning. His staff was also professional and kind.

I have been suffering cluster migraine headaches and Dr Ratzman and Dr Caryn Vogel neurologist have helped me through this. The cluster headaches are not nearly as frequent as they were when I first started treatment.

I lost all respect for David Ratzman. He had been my pain management doctor for many years. I started going to him during my long journey to finding out I have very painful rare conditions along with many comorbidities . I went to see him in May of 2023. I was bawling out loud in pain. Every inch of my body hurt and my head felt like it was going to explode from pain and pressure. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which is very painful and I have arachnoiditis which is inflammation of the spinal cord and brain. Ive read in articles that arachnoiditis is more painful than cancer. My spinal cord was retethered - pulling my brain down. I had just had one surgery to untether my spinal cord just 7 weeks prior to this visit in May. And I had another surgery to untether my spinal cord just 3 months prior to that surgery. I was retehering at an unheard of rate. Ive had the hole at the base of my skull made larger and my skull fused to my spine. I have damage to my brain stem, spinal cord and blood vessels due to my foramen magnum was too small and my skull had been sliding around on my spine. I have 3 other fusions in my spine along with arthritis and other problems. I was in so much pain that day, I wanted out of my body. I NEEDED out of my body. It was worse than childbirth. This man refused to help me other than he offered to give me a referral to a psychiatrist. I believe that says it all.
