Kind and compassionate
Friendly, expert, patient and respectful of my health care needs.
I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Ravitz and Modern Migraine. From the first telehealth appointment, I felt truly heard and understood. After eight months of struggling with increasingly debilitating and frequent migraines and seeing other specialists, Dr. Ravitz was the first to take the time to listen to my concerns thoroughly and with genuine compassion. Through her expert diagnosis and the right medication, my symptoms have improved dramatically. I feel like I have my life back again. I highly recommend Dr. Ravitz and Modern Migraine to anyone seeking not only top-notch neurological treatment but a doctor who truly listens and cares about their patients' well-being.
Dr Ravitz was kind and thoughtful. She asked several questions and listened intently to my concerns.
Dr. Ravitz prescribed medicine that helped my migraines and cares a lot about her patients. Her office is responsive and prompt for requests for medicine or questions
I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Dr. Risa Ravitz and I couldn't be more happy with the care I received. Dr. Ravitz’s expertise in migraines is truly exceptional. She took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly understand my medical history. I’ve been struggling with increasing migraines for several months and after meeting with Dr. Ravitz via telehealth I have the most hope in a long time that there are treatment options for me. Dr. Ravitz’s approach to diagnosis and treatment is comprehensive and personalized, which made me feel confident that I was in capable hands. I greatly appreciated her explanation of medical information in a way I could understand. She patiently answered all my questions and provided detailed explanations about the various treatment options available. In addition, communication with the office via email, phone, and text, to work out insurance questions regarding covered medication was immediate. I highly recommend Dr. Risa Ravitz and Modern Migraine to anyone suffering from migraines. Her expertise, compassion, and dedication to patient care are truly outstanding.
My experience was nothing short of amazing. Dr.Ravitz is very understanding and helpful. She listened to me and helped find sufficient methods to help ease my migraines. I’m very thankful for being referred to her office
Doctor is very thorough explaining results in details and easy to understand
Dr. Ravitz is always accommodating and listens carefully to my concerns. She has been an enormous help over the past few years. I really appreciate that she offers telehealth appointments as they are more convenient with my work schedule. I would recommend her without hesitation.
Excellent
Dr. Ravitz is one of the best physicians with whom I have had the pleasure to work. She is both my neurologist, and as a physician in a related field, she is the neurologist to whom I refer my patients. She is very knowledgeable, competent, and thorough without being unnecessarily alarmist. She is particulary well-known for her expertise in headache/migraine treatment. However she is an excellent general neurologist as well. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Dr. Ravitz was informative and efficient and answered all of my questions. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a thorough and thoughtful neurologist!
Dr. Risa Ravitz is one of a dying breed, she is bona fide Physician, who listens and cares what her patients say. She is a sincere and knowledgeable professional. What is terrific about her is her humanity. I trust her medical skills and can recommend her to anyone.
Dr.Ravitz is wonderful! clear, communicative, and helpful
Great doctor
Dr. Ravitz has that precious mix of a personable bedside manner combined with a deep knowledge of both general neurology and the subspecialty of headache medicine. As a physician, I both see her for treatment and I refer many patients to her. I have only received superlative feedback, which matches my experience as her patient as well.
Dr Ravitz is an awesome doctor who takes her time with you and is so sweet. I recommend her highly!
Dr Ravitz gives outstanding evaluation and the most up to date treatment options for migraine headaches with aura. I highly recommend Dr Ravitz practice.
Solved my covid related headache issues I experienced for 2 years....in 1 visit!!

Easy to connect to new physician! She was professional, easy to chat with and ordered a new prescription she thinks will be helpful. Most importantly, the doctor gave me some usable insight. Highly recommend if u need to speak with a doctor and get help for ur migraines.
Dr. Ravitz is very easy to talk with and is very caring and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!!
Dr. Ravitz and the Modern Migraine team are caring and compassionate, coordinated, and efficient. She and her staff are so on top of what treatments and medicines are latest and can be most helpful to her patients. Attentive, providing support for insurance issues, appointments, urgent matters, and flexibility. I work in the field of health care and know how rare this is. As a patient, Dr. Ravitz has geared treatments individually to provide relief many times when i was unable to function.
I recently had a follow up visit with Dr. Ravitz. Dr. Ravitz explained the results of tests that were done in a way that I easily understood. The appointment was via video which was super convenient, and I did not feel rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Ravitz.
Dr. Ravitz was very helpful. I'd been getting migraines for more than 20 years and this was my first time seeing a specialist. My frequency is not often but she still understood my concerns and prescribed me medicines to help in the next one.
Excellent- thank you
Dr. Ravitz is great. Takes the time to listen to you, updates, symptoms.
