I had a second appointment with him today. The first appointment went great. I thought he was a little on the wierd side but was friendly enough. All in all I left feeling that I was in good hands. I should mention that it was at the Health Science Center and he had a PA shadowing him. The second meeting was today and it was like a different doctor. He was alone and it was a horrible experience. It was like my lips were moving, but he couldn't hear me. He did not listen to any of my concerns. he diagnosed me with Fibromialgia, told me I would be in pain for the rest of my life and there was no medicine available for it. At one point I was actually crying, my husband was getting angry and Dr. Ratnoff looked at me like I was crazy. He said ..."have you been feeling weepy lately?' My husband and I just got up and left, me in tears, him very red faced... we just walked away from him because we didn't know what else to do. Has anyone else had a similar experience with him?

you need to talk to your states medical board and see if he has any complaints and then file one yourself...find a new Dr.
( I had (more than one weird Dr) but one that told me I had Lupus and was going to die, in horrible pain that no meds would help me...well that was 23 yrs ago..I'm not in horrible pain, I'm obviously NOT dead, I DO have lupus, but it's under control with a rheumatologist. (who's very nice BTW)...there are more weird Dr's out in the public than anyone's aware of...you just have to steer clear of'em and find ones that aren't...

If you can't stand him, find another doctor.
The name even sounds like a bad guy--Dr. Rattin' off.
Sorry if I got a little silly, but please look for another doctor.
