Dr Ratliff, excellent professional explains things in a very easy way to understand. He is not intimidating. He does not appear to be better than anyone he is just super. I’m so glad I got Dr Ratliff. He is kind. His bedside manners are perfect. His surgery hand is excellent. I’m recovering better from this in-depth surgery by Dr Ratliff than I have with any other surgeries that I’ve had in Fresno with the neurosurgeon. That says a lot. I commend Dr Ratliff highly, and he is well deserving of all the praise and raises because he’s excellent.
