I loved my experience here. Wonderful staff! Wonderful doctor. They made my labor less scarier then what I imagined. They were very attentive. I took the epidural and it was the best decision for the pain. The doctors talked me through the entire experience and I was able to have a beautiful healthy baby with no tearing. 10/10 would recommend this hospital a billion times.
All my family is so grateful to Raveco Medical staff. My first pregnancy turned out to such a wonderful experience with full guidance and support along the way. Can’t thank enough Doctor Steven Ravins for an incredible delivery. I followed all his recommendations that made my special day so enjoyable. I want to take a moment to thank again for effort and professionalism!
I didnt meet Dr. Ravins in your average patient/doctor way. I met him a few days after he saved my life. I was taken to the nearest emergency room after experiencing multiple seizures during my pregnancy and he performed a flawless emergency C-section. He saved me and my 31 weeker.10 years later I am back to have my 3rd child with him. (He delivered my second as well - I am a forever patient). Today is day 3 postpartum and my pain is manageable. He came to check on me, and as usual his demeanor is professional yet caring and compassionate. He really cares about the needs and wants of his patients. Ive had 3 kids and of course that did a number on my belly & confidence. He was able to tighten it up for me. Not often do you get a baby and your confidence all in one surgery.I have recommended him to countless people (he even delivered my sisters baby last month). I cannot say enough nice things about this man & his entire practice. Highly recommend.
What an incredible team with wonderful individuals who genuinely care for you and your pregnancy! Nicole is truly a kind-hearted soul. Im immensely grateful for the attention and care she has shown me from the start until my final appointment before induction. I had the pleasure of being attended to by all three doctors, and they each contributed to making my experience positive. Dr. Ravins, in particular, provided exceptional guidance during delivery, ensuring the well-being of both me and my baby. I will be returning for my regular check-ups.
I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Ravens delivery team, and I cant recommend them highly enough. Their professionalism, combined with their humor, made a potentially stressful experience remarkably smooth and enjoyable. They were attentive and ensured that everything went as seamlessly as possible. My baby had a nuclear cord (two cords) around his neck and every contraction it was suffocating him. Dr Raven team made me feel so much better about what was happening and ensured me my little munchkin was going to be ok throughout the whole process.My first labor with my daughter 17 months ago I didnt have the epidural and was on pitocin (miserable experience)!I was initially against getting an epidural this time around as well, but after discussing it with Dr. Ravens, I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! The epidural allowed me to rest comfortably through contractions and made the entire process much more manageable. The team’s expertise and supportive approach truly made all the difference.So overall, amazing experience aside from the fact that my husband fainted first push and was taken out of the room!Highly recommend!
What can I say ?! I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Dr. Stevens! & all other Doctors, PA’s, MA’s at RaveCo. I have been coming to this practice since I was 16 years old! 10 years later who would’ve thought Dr Ravins would be delivering 2/3 of my babies. Unfortunately for my first born (pregnant during covid) i had to go to another DR & it was truly traumatic since they were booked up months in advance. For my second pregnancy 2 years later I immediately made my appointment with RaveCo & for the time of my delivery his team at his practice & at the hospital made everything so easy he fixed any issue i had going on & made me feel better about myself & I can say the same again as he delivered my 3rd & last baby a day ago!! This is to show how one Doctor who listens can make a difference & that’s no exaggeration!!
Dr Ravens it’s my favorite favorite Dr ever. He is so calm nice and gentle. He had done my previous c section and now he did my reconstruction after delivering natural. He is amazing. He came so fast to the delivery room he gives you those kind of peace and positive vibe everyone love to have him around.the o py reason I go to this ob it’s because he works with them and he is just great. God bless you Dr
Mr ravins!!! Nothing short of amazing my twin girls was born 3 weeks early 3/22/24 and he performed my c section first of all let me say what c section?!!! Everything stated about this guy is true from start to finish and i just wanna thank you for making my experience great this is my 4th pregnancy but my first c section and him and his team worked together to insure my safety for me to be comfortable oh yea and i don’t even look like i had a c section two days ago🥺🥺
Dr.Steve Ravens is an exceptional obstetrician who made our baby boys delivery a truly positive and memorable experience. From our very first appointment, Dr. Raven demonstrated a perfect blend of professionalism, empathy, and expertise. They were always available to answer our questions, address our concerns, and provide reassurance throughout the entire pregnancy.On the day of delivery, Dr. Steve Ravenss calm demeanor and confident approach were incredibly comforting. They skillfully navigated the complexities of childbirth with precision and care, ensuring both mom and baby were safe and well-cared for. Their support extended beyond the delivery room, offering invaluable postpartum advice and follow-up care.We are deeply grateful for Dr. Steve Ravens dedication and kindness. Their commitment to excellence in patient care made all the difference in our journey. We highly recommend Dr. Steve Ravens to anyone seeking an outstanding and compassionate gynecologist.Cannot thank you enough Dr.Ravens, for helping us welcome our beautiful baby boy into the world!
Throughout the entire pregnancy I tried to do as much research and self education I could to best prepare for my sons arrival. I was able to do a drug free delivery, it’s something that was very important to me and I cannot stress the importance of having the right staff, people who hear you and respect your requests (as long as it’s safe for you and baby of course). I have delivered both of my boys at Mount Sinai South Nassau and I don’t see myself delivering anywhere else. Dr Ravins and the whole staff of nurses (both deliveries) kept me very informed and were extremely patient and understanding of all my questions and concerns. They literally made all the difference in my experiences and could not have been any more helpful. For anyone considering delivering here or is unsure of the doctor to choose, you cannot go wrong with him. I love it here.
This was my first birth experience and I am beyond happy to have been attended to by Dr. Raven’s team. His team is above par with bedside manner, attentiveness to mom and baby, and overall wonderful to be around during an extremely satisfying but difficult time for a mom to be.I went in for a vaginal delivery but baby decided he wanted to stay a bit longer and when the need for a c- section arose, Dr. Raven’s team pulled through quickly and more importantly successfully.I owe many thanks to their team and Mt. Sinai South Nassau’s labor and delivery staff for delivering my perfect baby boy. We are overjoyed.
I came in with a plan, of no epidural because I was scared. But honestly once they broke my water the pain was unbearable. The epidural was last minute got it and everything got so much better. The anesthesia did it so well and Dr.Ravens guide me through the labor it, and the aftermath I’m feeling okay and better. My legs was numb but I got it back. I’m super please :) thanks again
Words can’t explain how GRATEFUL I am with everybody from Raveco Medical. Nicole was very caring, supportive and attentive every time I had an appointment during my pregnancy . She made me feel like home with her care. I had my second c section on July 23,2024 with Doctor Steven who was very professional, attentive and caring. I got keloid from my last c section 8 years ago and Doctor Steven removed the prevoius scar making the new scar to look like a plastic surgery. My hospital experience was GREAT! I THANK YOU!!
I had a wonderful birthing experience here as a first time mom ! I recieved the epidural and it was very helpful after sitting through contractions plus it also helped me while pushing to NOT tear at all !! Special Thank you too Dr. Raven for being so efficient and very gentle , also my wonderful labor&delivery nurse Brooke.
I cannot thank Dr. Ravins and his incredible staff enough for making my pregnancy and birth experience so wonderful. As someone who was absolutely terrified of giving birth, I feel so fortunate to have had Dr. Ravins by my side. He is an excellent doctor who is incredibly knowledgeable, and his calm, reassuring demeanor always made me feel safe and cared for.I also want to give a special mention to Nicole, who was absolutely amazing. She has a unique ability to bring comfort and ease to the birth experience. Her kindness and compassion were so reassuring, and she went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported throughout the entire process.From my first appointment to the postpartum period, the entire team made the journey smooth and comforting. If you are looking for a compassionate and skilled OB-GYN team, I highly recommend Dr. Ravins and his staff. They truly make you feel like you are in the best hands every step of the way.
Dr. Steven Ravins delivered all 3 of my boys who are 14, 5 and newborn. This recent experience was by far the most memorable. Having had two previous C-sections with him, I was scheduled for my 3rd one until I took a chance and tried for a vaginal birth. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor to be there helping me do one of the hardest things I’ll ever do in my life! He coached me every step of the way and it was a fast successful vaginal delivery. His team at Mount Sinai south Nassau was so attentive and caring during the whole process. We are still in shock at how fast and smooth this labor and delivery went. I felt confident and at ease with the decision to try a vaginal birth knowing Dr.Ravins would be there! Thank you so much for delivering my 3 boys!
I’ve been with Dr Ravins and their team at Raveco since 2007, for the birth of my first child. My experience was extraordinary. Natural birth, no internal V damage and it was all due to the experience and care of Dr Ravins and his darling wife Claudia. Fast forward 16 years to the birth of my second baby. Of course I came back to these wonderful doctors. My baby was growing well, a bit on the smaller side, however we were monitored by the doctors at Raveco throughout my pregnancy. I had a generally healthy diet, moderate exercise (mainly walking) and kept stress to a minimum. After a complete and thorough exam at week 36 + and being hit from behind by another vehicle, Dr Ravins made the wisest decision to induce labor at 37 weeks, 3 weeks earlier than we had originally planned. During my induction, we tried every position and method to have a natural delivery, but my baby was in distress and we were rushed into emergency surgery. Within 10 minutes of being prepped and medicated, I heard my baby’s cry for the first time. Dr Ravins safely delivered a healthy, happy baby, ready to see the world. During the cesarían, I was comfortable, awake and aware of what was happening. (No pain)The staff was incredible at communicating with me throughout the entire procedure, staying by my side for as long as it took for the doctor to put me back together. It’s expected after major surgery to be sore and in pain for a little while, however I must say, day one after the surgery is like going through physical therapy, learning how to walk again etc. with the helpful staff at Mt Sinai Oceanside, I was up and walking on day 1 after the ceasarian, yes it was painful but you need to push through that pain and give yourself the confidence to keep going for your baby. If you keep moving, slowly walking, or just standing I promise you’ll feel better. I was impressed by my speedy recovery on day 2. The pain was 50% gone, I moved around without assistance, showered and had my bandages removed. Seeing the incisions were shocking in a good way. It’s SMALL, thin and almost invisible. Dr Steven Ravins is a medical magician in his craft and I trust him completely for the health and safety of my babies and myself. Imagine being at a restaurant and the chef tells you to sit back and let them bring you dinner, once course after the other, each time being more impressive until you’ve had the best meal of your life. If you Put your trust in the doctors and let them take the lead, and everything will be perfectly fine. I now have a healthy baby and a body that looks like I was not carrying a human for the past 9 months. 😬
The team of nurses and doctors were beyond professional, competent and calm during the birth of our son. I cannot say that things would have had such a happy ending if it weren’t for Dr. Ravens and his team. Our babies fluids were low and after my water breaking his heart beat declined rapidly, literally our worst nightmare as parents. The doctors and nurses jumped into action while remaining calm and didn’t waste a second to get me to the operating room. Within 15 minutes of my water breaking our baby was born happy and healthy. Our worst nightmare turned into the best moment of our lives when we got to hold our son. The C-section was painless and my recovery could not be going any smoother. Our baby is doing perfectly, all thanks to Dr. Ravens and the incredible nurse and support staff. From the bottom of our heart, thank you!!!!
I just had a C-section on 8/16/24 by Dr. Ravins and I have to say it was EVERYTHING I could’ve asked for! I had a prior C-section in 2011 at Jamaica Hospital and it was the worst pain and recovery I’ve ever been through, and even complaining about the pain, it was ignored. Dr. Ravins’ team at Mt Sinai made sure I was well taken care of, especially pain-wise, as I have fibromyalgia so I’m more susceptible to pain. I’m only 2 days post-op and I’m already feeling so much better than I did with my previous C-section more than 2 WEEKS post-op! I honestly couldn’t recommend my care team and the hospital enough. I’m absolutely grateful for their bedside manner and for the care the team has provided. 10/10 would absolutely recommend and I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat! Thank you to Dr. Ravins and the team at the clinic, as well as the team at the hospital for everything!
I love the RAVECO team. Very caring, knowledgeable, willing to teach and made sure me and my baby were doing great at all times. Dr. Garcia is just very patient and helpful. Always willing to answer all my questions and Dr. Olkowsky and the whole hospital team were just marvelous during my delivery. I was really scared about delivery but they made the whole experience that much better. Im truly grateful!
Dr. Ravins is truly a great, educated doctor. He reassured all my worries of an epidural and induction for my pre-eclampsia. This is my first baby, so when I went in Friday night at 10 pm, I was shocked to realize by 1 am Sunday she was born! Once he came in to assist, I pushed for maybe 20 minutes and she came right out! I’m truly grateful for such an amazing experience thanks to the help and knowledge of Dr. Ravins!!
Dr. Ravens is a phenomenal physician! I had the privilege to be delivered and have my tubes tied by his hands and the process went smoothly and quickly. He also put a faja (pelvic band) to keep everything in place. Such a great experience delivering my third c-section with such a professional doctor!
Dr. Ravins performed my repeat c section snd tubal removal. I cant believe how its a day later and Im able to move so much better than last time, which was not performed by Dr. Ravins. I have significantly less issues and am better able to care for my newborn. Dr Kahn was amazing and supportive as the anesthesiologist. She comforted me and eased my anxiety through the whole process. I highly recommend this team. They made my husband and I feel so confident and we are so happy with our decision.
I am greatful for all the staff of Raveco Medical Clinic especially Dr. Steven Ravins who took care of my 3rd delivery, I chose Dr. Steven and his team for all of my 3 pregnancies with vaginal delivery because I know I will be in great hands. Taking the epidural with my 3 pregnancies made my labor and delivery feel so much better. I can concentrate on delivering my baby without pain getting in the way. May you have more women to help during their most exciting milestone and help them to finally meet their little bundle of joy.
Had an excellent experience, Dr. Steven and his team are very professional, compassionate, kind and all positive. They make you feel safe at all times because with my first baby I had a really bad experience so I was really scare of this C section, but they make it feel like nothing especially RN April she is all what you espect from a real Nurse. She made me feel good at all times was very compassionate and kind. Thank you all I had a great experience this time.
I cannot thank Dr Ravins enough. He made a crazy day feel calm! He was a breath of fresh air in the delivery room making me and my husband feel more at ease! We felt so taken care of and we will forever be grateful to him for helping bring our baby girl safely into the world! Definitely recommend him! Sofia Isabela Rojas 7/25/24
I’ve been going to Ravenco for my first pregnancy and yesterday I delivered a healthy baby boy. I had a schedule induction at 39 weeks . As a first time mom going through this it was very difficult. I was not dilated at all coming in to the induction which was discouraging. I had all these things being done to me to help me induce. I took 6 rounds of cytotech plus the folly balloon. My induced labor last 36 hours. 24 of those I was at 2cm and didn’t move. Then I got to 5cm and lasted there for 12 hours. That was one of the hardest things. I made the decision to go for a c section at that point. I knew my body and it was just not giving any more after 36 hours with no food and going through pain. It’s always very important to advocate for your self during these situations. You know your own body and it’s also important to have a medical team that supports you. Thank you to doctor Steven ravins and delivering my beautiful baby boy.
Dr. Steven Ravins helped me deliver my baby. Such a kind soul when he saw that i couldnt push anymore he helped me and the epidural was a life saver because without it i thought i couldnt make it. Im so grateful with the experience i had and now my baby girl is here.
My experience was great, I got well taken care of any questions I had was answered, every nurse I had were very nice and gentle, they took good care of me. When it came time to deliver the baby they made sure to walk me through each step and make it as comfortable as possible for me , they made sure the father of my child was involved during the delivery as well. They didn’t judge me with any decisions I made for me or the baby, in fact they were really supportive. When it came to spend time with him in the mommy and baby room the nurses were always checking in making sure everything was fine with my child and I. Any test they had to do they made sure to let me know in full details what kind of test it was so I had a better understanding and not worry. They were big on what the baby needs after leaving the hospital, giving us suggestions of doctors, ways to feed him etc. In overall I had a great experience I would highly recommend this hospital to all the momsOut there and especially if you are a first time mom, I couldn’t have ask for a safer and better experience. My baby and I were in great care.
Just delivered our second baby with Dr. Shapiro and Dr. Ravins team at South Nassau! Both times we had such different experiences, but equally amazing care and treatment. Our first baby, we made it in time for an epidural, and had a great delivery. Second baby, we barely made it in time to deliver, so missed my chance to receive any medication, but just as amazing! Love Dr. Ravins and Dr. Shapiro for their expertise and wonderful bedside manner. ❤️
My experience here was fantastic, they made me feel comfortable and less scared they were so reassuring, nice team and very professional.Specially to Dr Oklowski, what can I say this guy is a gem, he made me feel comfortable and less stressed during the whole process. Thank you Doc.
My experience giving birth with Dr Ravins was incredible! Truly unforgettable and such a positive experience!My first baby’s birth was an induction fromScratch. I had mild preeclampsia and my baby had to come on due date.I had an epidural before contractions even begun so I felt completely relaxed through the whole labor.Aside for the few uncomfortable factors with epidural like the shakes, I overall had a beautiful experience with the epidural.Thank G-D my baby came out healthy beautiful and barely any stitching all thanks to Dr Ravins guidance helping me through each push to not tear.I just gave birth to my second baby and decided to try to go natural this time with no epidural and let my body run the show.working through each contraction was so beautiful I felt in control of what was happening.I was able to get off the bed and breathe through contractions and feel my body work the baby downward and out.the nurses supported me through my decision to go natural no epidural. They encouraged the breathing encouraged me to keep going and didn’t keep asking or nudging me to go with epidural.I did not hire a doula and was shocked at how encouraging these nurses and Drs were I didn’t even need a doula!Dr Ravins helped me push the baby out with the least tearing possible!He encouraged breaking the waters to reduce tearing and reduce the pain I was in.I’m glad I listened!Thank G-D we had a beautiful healthy baby boy within 2 hours of arrival to the hospital.Both births were so beyond beautiful and I’m very glad I have only positive experiences regarding both baby’s birth stories.I’ve tried other OB practices before my healthy pregnancies and babies and I only go back to these doctors as they’re professional knowledgeable and so caring I cannot be more thankful to them!Thank you Dr Ravins and his wonderful team of doctors and nurses!
I wanna thank Dr. Shapiro for the safe delivery of my baby girl. Thank you for doing what ever was possible to avoid needing a c-section and making sure my vaginal delivery when good and without tearing. You and the whole team at Raveco made my birth experience so much more beautiful from the moment I when to the first appointment to the sonograms to the delivery the attention was amazing from everyone in the office and hospital. Thank you 😊
Great experience having my first baby. Everyone was caring and supportive, the entire process of labor was a caring and special experience; nurses and doctors are respectful and understanding. Definitely thank everyone for the care and kindness that they all developed. You can feel that they are always trying what’s best for you and your baby. They made the whole experience to run out smoothly and not as dramatic I thought it would be. It is a very nice and clean place as well!

In the hospitals maternity ward, the attention of the staff is also excellent. In short, if you want to have your baby safely with the best you have to go with Raveco medical they are amazing ❤️
Wow I have officially enter motherhood . This experience leading up to delivering my beautiful baby boy have been nothing but amazing . I owe that all to the wonderful staff at Raveco .from every appointment to every concern they made me feel at ease. I was super nervous about the epidural but I’m happy I went with it . My labor and delivery experience was so smooth .I want to thank the whole Raveco staff especially doctor Ravins I appreciate you guys .
Couldn’t be happier with my labor and delivery experience. I’ve had two labor and deliveries with the epidural and it made me so relaxed and enjoy birth which is something unexplainable. It’s different when you can enjoy, relax and be in tune while giving birth. Dr. Ravins and his team are saints including anesthesiologist team. so grateful :)))
I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Steven for the outstanding care and expertise demonstrated during my complicated delivery. From the moment we encountered unexpected challenges, he remained calm, composed, and highly professional and maintained clear and reassuring communication, explaining each steps.I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Steven to any expecting parents. His expertise and genuine care are truly unparalleled.Thank you, Dr.Steven for everything you did for us.
Dr. Raven is an outstanding healthcare provider who delivered my baby boy via C-section with impressive skill and care. The labor and delivery nurses were invaluable, providing exceptional support and care throughout the process. Their professionalism, positivity, and patience were greatly appreciated.-Shameeza persaud
I am so thankful of Dr.Ravins helping me with my vbac and delivering our beautiful baby girl. Having had a horrible first delivery it is amazing to have doctors who believe in helping other people with what they want and pushing for what they want and not just wanting a unwanted or unnecessary c-section. Thank you so much dr. Ravins and all the grateful nurses and residents.
The rating on this review is entirely based on Dr. Nicole B’s professional service and knowledge.As a first time mom it has been very difficult navigating through what to do and not to do…However, Dr. Nicole has made the journey a bit easier through postpartum visits. I have been much comfortable going to Raveco after a few bumps in the road because of her. She has been very understanding throughout my pregnancy and post pregnancy. There are many who may be dismissive of the mental health of women going through major changes in life especially as a woman of color. As mentioned earlier, her empathy and experience of motherhood has made me stay with this practice. Although it’s recommended to see the doctors who will be performing the delivery, she’s always checked in with me prior or after the initial visit.I am glad that I have finally found a great gynecologist and we all know how hard that is…Now for RAVECO Medical as a practice, not much to say as it’s almost always busy and there are long waits so be prepared to wait for at least 1-2 hours in the waiting room. They do not allow more than one person in the room with you nor do they allow cameras during your sonogram process (which is bogus because it ruins the experience of capturing each and every moment you see your unborn child as you don’t get to feel the emotion through a few sonogram print outs) … This was really important for me as my entire family was very much involved in my pregnancy as he is the first grandson and nephew of the family…My first-born. The person who takes the sonogram downstairs is also horrible, she always rushes to complete the sono and had no empathy. I had to switch to Linda (who is amazing btw) for sonograms upstairs for the lack of professionalism downstairs (don’t even remember her name).For the emotional aspect, this practice would be rated 2-3 stars.Dr. Ravins is a great surgeon when it comes to C-Sections as he has over a decade worth of experience in this field. With that, keep in mind, he will be busy and there will be moments where you feel rushed but he’s just that popular and busy. He has a great reputation at Mount Sinai South Nassau so if you’re scheduled a C-Section, you will be in great hands.
So let me start of by saying DR RAVENS IS AMAZINGGGG , in such a scary experience i couldn’t have asked for a better delivery Dr. He moves with such precision, accuracy and care that made my experience EXTREMELY SMOOTH. He was very attentive to my well being and the well being of my baby. This was my first baby and i would do it all over again with Dr Ravens. Did i mention HE’S AMAZINGGGG
I would like to thank all my doctors and stuff at the raveco office. As well as Mount Sinai Hospital, for taking such a wonderful care of me and my new bundle of joy. I must say dr. Ravin, dr.olkoski and the stuff did the great job working together as a team to make sure their patients are in good hands. I never felt scared or nervous during the process of my labor. They are there to give you support and compassion, all the way during your pregnancy and your labor.
DR.Ravins was like a heaven Sent! For myself I came into the hospital heavily set on having a natural vaginal birth which Doctors Ravins advocated for me until the end. Once things got too much for me and baby to handle Dr.Ravins made the necessary call for an emergency C-section. I was very scared but Dr. Ravins made the entire process as smooth as possible and made sure my health and the baby’s health was put first my recovery has been great and I owe it all to Dr. Ravins. The best doctor I have ever met! P.S. A C-section is not bad at all.
I recently had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Ravins at Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital, and I can confidently say that he is one of the best OB-GYN doctors Ive ever encountered. Dr. Ravins performed a remarkable feat by successfully conducting three surgeries in one session: a C-section, the removal of an ovarian cyst, and a tubal removal.From our initial consultation, Dr. Ravins walked me through the entire process, ensuring I understood every step and felt comfortable with what was to come. His clear communication and compassionate demeanor were incredibly reassuring during a time that could have been very stressful.The surgeries themselves were executed flawlessly. Dr. Ravins not only addressed my immediate medical needs but also removed scars from my previous C-sections, which was a significant and unexpected benefit. Additionally, he provided a waist belt post-surgery that greatly aided my recovery process, ensuring I could heal comfortably and swiftly.My experience with Dr. Ravins has had a profoundly positive impact on my life. His exceptional skill, combined with his genuine care and attention to detail, has made a lasting impression on me. I am deeply grateful for his expertise and the outstanding care he provided. Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital is incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented doctor on their team.
I would definitely recommend Raveco medical center as a doctor to see! Along with their staff, the Mount Sinai hospital made me feel very comfortable during my birth experience. I had my first epidural and I can honestly say, it carried me thru my c-section. At first, when the do the procedure, it was a slight bit of discomfort beings you feel the medication entering thru the IV, but once it settle down about 25-30 minutes later, the birthing experience was a lot easier. It made things go by smoother and being a first time mom, I’ve had my own doubts about it at first. I definitely recommend it to all the soon to be and new moms that are curious about the process and it will assist them during childbirth.
Giving birth to my son has been the best experience!!!with the best doctor dr raven was so nice calm and from being scare to have an epidural but ended up having one was the best choice.
Just had my second baby at Mercy Hospital, what an amazing experience !! The Doctors, nurses, and staff treated us with such great hospitality, they took the time to explain what to expect, hear our worries and provide guidance. My first son was delivered during the covid pandemic in one of those Larger Hospitals, plus it didnt help our cause I tested positive for Covid plus pneumonia. We were looked at like Aliens, avoided by any means. After my c-section I was forced to fend for myself, causing me great pain and discomfort.If my husband and I decided to search for the baby girl, Mercy Hospital is where our baby will be born.
Dr Olkowski is my OB I absolutely love him. I had the pleasure of meeting and having my baby delivered by Dr Ravin he is amazing. I had my support system with me but Dr Ravin is so encouraging and supportive. I thought I couldnt get that baby out but he ensured me I was doing amazing and he was going to help me get this baby out and together my Logan was born.
This experience was one in a lifetime. The entire staff was really great, extremely knowledgeable and had really amazing calming existences. I felt very safe during my cesarean!
I had a great experience here everyone was nice and helpful I’m glad I gave birth here they took very good care of me and the baby, the epidural made it painless. I highly recommend any women having secound thoughts about getting the epidural to do it.
The journey of giving birth to my first child was an emotional rollercoaster. From the excitement and anticipation of meeting my baby for the first time to the anxiety and uncertainty about the labor process, every emotion was heightened during this transformative experience. Thank you to the knowledgeable staff for making this experience remarkable.
Had the best experience ever different from my other pregnacy. Labor was fast and the team work just amazin.This experience to delivering my beautiful baby boy have been nothing but best experice with staff Raveco they were experience in many ways I want to thank the whole Raveco staff especially doctor Ravins for encoraging his team to be amazing every day.
The most amazing experience I could have ever imagined. Dr. Ravins is such an amazing doctor and the team that thoughtfully cared for me and my pregnancy (Nicole, forest hills office, and MS- South Nassau). As always, pregnancy always has its unexpected outcomes and scary moments. I had to have an emergency c-section after trying to have a vaginal delivery for 39hours and the whole process I was supported by the entire medical team at South Nassau including Dr. Ravins and they gave me all the comfort I could ask for and kept me calm. Thank you so much Dr. Ravins, Nicole, and MS- South Nassau for such a beautiful experience, comforting me, and my bringing my baby girl to safe and healthy to this world. Thank you thank you!
Dr Steven Ravins is awesome! Very professional and makes you feel very confident in his work. I had 2 c sections with him, my first was eight years ago and I came back to him because he was great! I just had my baby in January and am recovering well because of his great work in the OR and with his team. Highly recommended! Thank you Dr Ravins. I will never forget who delivered my babies and who was with me at such an important moment in my life!
Just had the most incredible experience with Dr.Ravins and his team. They were beyond caring, knowledgeable and supportive. Definitely recommended and hope to have them around for next time!
I was extremely nervous about getting a c-section but the procedure ended up being amazing and the recovery was much easier than I anticipated. Dr. Raven has been such a pleasure, he has to be one of the most down to earth doctors I have ever had. He has went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable in all aspects of my recovery and motherhood! I have been in recovery for a few days and EVERYTIME a nurse/doctor sees my incision they are blown away with how beautiful Dr.Ravens work is! I am so happy to have such an amazing Doctor! Thank you so much!
Dr. Ravins and his team are incredible! Dr. Ravins performed my c section for my 2nd and 3rd child. My 3rd c section was difficult as I had post surgical bleeding but Dr. Ravins and his team took appropriate action immediately. I knew I was in the best hands. They gave me the proper medication to help my uterus contract and stop the bleeding. Their knowledge, expertise and compassion saved me. I am forever grateful for Dr. Ravins. My c section scar looks great and I am healing better than I ever expected. Thank you Dr. Ravins and the Raveco team.
Highly obliged to Doctor Steven Ravins to give me my best gift of my life our Rainbow 🌈 baby.After my uncertain previous Fetal demise at 36th week in different hospital.…..Doctors at Ravaco Medicals have always been very supportive and helpful throughout my journey.They left no stone unturned in helping me and guiding me, as a result i have my beautiful lil angel today….!!!Weekly visits and hassle free appointments.Recommendation to go Maternal Fetal Medicines was really helpful.Doc Ravins took decision to deliver my baby at 36 weeks via C-section was the perfect decision for our little munchkin 🥰Thank you to the whole team and highly recommended….!!!
My experience with Raveco medical was great. I wanted to have a vaginal delivery and they were able to make it happen even with how big baby was 9 pounds and 7 ounces.
First of all I want to thank Dr. Ravins who was the one who helped me in my labor, this is my first pregnancy and it was one of the best experiences I ever had, he made me feel very confident and mentally secure, he is a very kind and happy person, another thing that helped me a lot was the decision to get the epidural, in my pregnancy I heard many bad reviews but in my opinion if you want to have a calm and painless labor I highly recommend it because my experience with it was amazing. :)
My doctor was amazing he repaired my hernia in my abdomen from previous c sections. Took the extra skin off and was sooo super kind to me. Treated me like a star. As a patient I’m am sooo greatful for his amazing treatment and skills. I feel lighter I feel confident and I can’t wait to see the final results of my c section repair surgery! Thank you so much Doctor Raveco!
When I arrived I was very nervous. I did not know what to expect reason being that I never had a c-section. Upon arriving the staff was very welcoming and reassured me that everything would be fine. My baby was weighing in at almost 10 pounds but the staff made me feel very comfortable. When I got into the delivery room for the procedure, my nerves were all over the place. The nurse that handled me did an amazing job at calming me down, the doctors were excellent, and the anesthesiologist was great. They worked together amazingly. I couldn’t ask for a better team. The recovery was smooth and all the nurses were very attentive to me and the baby. My experience here was amazing and I would recommend anyone who is nervous about a c-section to come here.
I am not able to find my previously written review so reposting. You will see great reviews for them and thats why I ended up here as well. However the truth is that the doctors here dont give a damn about your life and are often medically negligent. They miss medical reports, charge for services that were not performed and are always 1-2 hours late to their appointments. If you are late by 5 mins, the doctor will call you and give you a hard time but patients get treated like cattle in a slaughterhouse. I still have not received responses to my request and had to report fraud. Avoid and avoid! You will find 1-2 staff members who are kind but risking your life for such medical negligence is not worth it.
The doctor is a very good person and is very professional, he does a great job. My labor was with a cesarean section but first it was tried to be done naturally but since it was not possible the doctor returned after his shift, just to do the cesarean section and I feel very grateful to him.
Great doctor great staff…went into labor for twelve hours with no hope of dilating and dr raven came to my rescue. He has a great sense of humor and witty personality but will tell it to you straight and to the point. He is supportive and great at what he does. I hate to get a c-section and did it fast and efficiently as possible to make sure your with your baby quickly. I respect and appreciate this man and his team with all my heart much thanks from me and Rune
I had a great experience this this dr. After having my 2nd baby almost 12 yrs later. He did an excellent job on my 2nd c section. He was so nice, made me feel so comfortable. Took his time on me to get me back to myself. He delivered my 9lb baby boy. Im grateful to have had his help through this difficult process.
I had both my babies with Raveco Medical and I cannot praise them enough! From the first appointment until after you give birth you feel cared for and have all your medical needs/wants met. I usually see Dr. Olkowski who is amazing and I just had my second baby with Dr. Ravins in the hospital and it went better than I ever could’ve imagined. I cannot thank him enough for probably the fastest delivery with minimal pain, he really knows what he’s talking about. Thank you so much Raveco!!!
Such an amazing facility! It’s so comforting to know that your life has been place in capable hands. Fortunately for me my beautiful baby girl Tsavah Serai was delivered by Dr Ravins and his team. I’ve not encounter such a group of caring. kind and helpful people like these . Their knowledgeable expertises keeps them a cut above the rest! Their skill and technique as mustered are painless and produce the best results always. Shout out to Shannon. Ruth, Olivia, Alexis, there are some more names pardon my memory. Thank you for taking such great care of us. We love you!!!♥️
What can say, Dr. Ravins and his team has been nothing but the best! From coming in with an anxious feeling to having a great calming support from him and his team. I’ve been grateful with the care and attention me and my newborn have received with constant check ins to make sure we were comfortable. Getting a c-section isn’t easy recovery but with his amazing hands after surgery it almost feels like I didn’t even have one. And not like my previous c-sections I was able to get up with minimal pain and walk around. Thank You Dr. Ravins ! We couldn’t be happier :-)
This was my second child but it was my first delivery vaginally Dr.Ravins was so encouraging and engaging. I was completely lost about what I was supposed to do but he took charge and told me exactly what to I needed to do, what was expected, and what was happening. He kept my husband and I constantly informed and showed me the way to breath when pushing. I love that I got an epidural without it I would not have been able to focus on myself and my child because of the pain. So many people told me not to get the epidural but it all comes down to what you want and how much pain tolerance you can endure. For myself I made it an experience for my baby and me instead of an experience about the pain I felt. There is nothing I would do differently and am so thankful for having Dr. Ravins as my doctor.
I had the best experience giving birth at Mount Sinai Hospital. My daughter came at 37wks due to my high blood pressure and when I tell you the doctors and nurses never made me feel more comfortable. The whole process from getting the epidural to finally pushing and meeting my baby girl was so easy all because of the great staff that was in the delivery room with me. They are all so patient & polite and and I don’t thing could have had a better experience❤️.
I had such an amazing experience with Dr. Ravens! He performed my C-section which was the most comfortable experience. Even though this was my second C-section I was super nervous but meeting Dr. Ravens my nerves were quickly settled. He is super personable and friendly, even in the OR room he made sure I was always comfortable which eased my mind. He truly goes above and beyond for his patients and I would highly recommend him especially if youre a nervous Mom like me. Trust me, hes one of a kind!
We had an amazing experience with raveco medical. Dr. Irada Shapiro was our doctor and she took great care of my wife during her pregnancy. The hospital where she works is also an amazing hospital. My wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl.I would recommend this clinic to everyone.
Another great experience with this practice! Dr. Ravens delivered my first and Dr. Shapiro delivered my second the other day. Both doctors are so knowledgeable and experienced you can just tell you are in good hands the whole way through. Both doctors were great during delivery, calm and focused but informative and clear with directions. They also really take their time after delivery to ensure the perfect healing outcome both medically and cosmetically. Their residents are absolutely amazing all very welcoming and well trained! I wouldn’t let any other practice deliver my babies.
Exceptionally excellent. From the beginning of the pregnancy till the last day of the when the baby was delivered. I made a decision not to give birth again, but the way Raveco Medical staff treated me, it was amazing, and I feel like given birth again. I was touched by their care and attention and encouraged everyone to who need an OB to be seen by this facility. To any pregnant woman, please go to this facility, and you never regret it. I am very grateful to you, Dr. Ravins and your staff. Kudos to you all. Good work done. 👌
My experience was Beautiful.. I was schedule for a C-section I got scared because it my second one the first one was Scary so I wanted to tried to push, but end up doing the C-section that I was scheduled for with DR.Raveco was so patient with me he try everything so I could have push my son it just was not going as planned after 13 hours of trying everything I had to do the C-section I was scheduled and it was a beautiful Experience with Dr. Raveco and his team.. Thank you so much
Amazing job with the epidural al south Nassau. Did not feel a thing you can tell she’s been doing this for years! 💙 I would get another one if necessary in the future. Thank you Dr. K
We got the best experience all through out my pregnancy. They helped me since day 1 especially as its my first one. They educated me well. I was induced and had epidural but still have a positive birthing experience. 💯
After a not so great experience with my 1st c-section 14 years ago (to the a day) at a Manhattan hospital, Dr. Ravins made this experience such a great one. From the moment we met before my surgery, he had a calming and fun energy that really put me at ease. I’m so appreciative of his expertise and professionalism.
I had such a great experience at Mount Sinai South Nassau compared to my first c section I can honestly say from the anesthesia to the actual surgery it was very painless and the staff was great they all made me feel super comfortable every step of the way because they saw how nervous i was although i did have a prior c section it was an emergency so to know i was going straight into surgery this time around was super nerve wrecking but they definitely knew how to calm my nerves and make it a wonderful experience im so happy my little man is here! Thank you guys again for making this such a personable smooth and painless experience for me💙
My husband and I had the best experience. Dr Ravins was all about ensuring we had a smooth vaginal delivery. I had a bad experience when I had my 1st child at another hospital and Dr Ravins was patient and went with the flow of what my body needed. I will definitely come back to him for my next pregnancy
The labor with my 3rd baby was the hardest, most challenging I’ve ever experienced. The baby’s heart beat dropped with every contraction & I had to be repositioned every 20 or so minutes. At one point, I was positioned on all 4’s for almost an hour!! No one thought I’d be able to deliver vaginally because the baby was my biggest yet. Talks of a C-section were swirling but I was determined to avoid that at all cost as my preference was a vaginal birth. Dr. Ravins & his team were the best! They helped me so much through my labor & delivery process. I was able to deliver vaginally & I couldn’t have done it without their support! My husband and I are beyond grateful to have welcomed our 1st son with the help of Dr. Ravins!Troy Alexander1/13/248lbs 22.5 inches
The saying goes “ strong body, strong mind” I say, strong mind , strong body. That’s how I made it through the birthing of my first child, my daughter. I am a first time, 39 year old mom who worries of things that haven’t even happened yet. Same goes for what I would experience during my pregnancy journey and specifically how my delivery would be. I have been anxious of what my body would have to endure during the 9 months , the labor and delivery and now what’s to come now that she is here. People tend to “scare you” with their own personal experiences. I was smart enough to not let those experiences influence what would be my own. So this statement isn’t to scare anyone, it’s to inspire someone else who may over think like me. I had a really good pregnancy (which some say is a miracle in itself) so I thought that my delivery would be so much harder. Not everything can be this easy but I was wrong. It wasn’t easy , and it wasn’t as hard as I imagined. I had to block out the rest of the world and concentrate on the ultimate goal and that was to delivery a healthy baby girl into this world because it wasn’t about me. It was and now always be about her. I was told that I would be induced as I was already 40 weeks and 2 days along. I wanted to continue to delivery “ naturally” not feel like my baby was being forced. Of course, there’s my medical reasons that it had to be done. So I had to mentally prepare myself for the scheduled date and time to start my induction to then start my labor and delivery. I came to Mt Sinai South Nassau Hospital which wasn’t my first choice ( only due to the distance from my home) but I am so glad I came here. The staff and doctors have been so amazing and attentive. I have had such a great experience here. Especially due to Dr. Ravins. I checked in at 10:15 AM Monday Morning and delivered Tuesday morning at 8:27 AM. And although those were the longest 20 plus hours , I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it weren’t for the staff and their amazing medical advice. One advice that I want to share now, and that was the decision to get an epidural. I was told all the pros and cons from everyone’s passed experience or just what I was told about it. I was 50/50 on my decision to take it or not. I am so glad that I did. Dr.ravins and his team helped guide me to make the right decision for myself and my child. Nothing was ever encouraged or discouraged. They leave it all to you. I am so glad that I took it as I was holding off from taking it for 9 plus hours. I will never advise anyone to do anything that I would do or not do. I am just glad that I didn’t listen to the outside world. I took that epidural like a champ! Why? Bc I prepared myself mentally so much that the physical didn’t even matter. Hours later, I was blessed with my daughter. So whoever is reading this, remember, you got this! It is your journey and no one else’s. A strong mind is what will get you through it, the strong body will follow!
The facility is one of a kind! Special thanks to my OBGYN Dr. Nicole B she is absolutely amazing and understanding! She has a wonderful personality and great work ethics! She answers and assists with any concerns or questions I have!! Raveco has to be one of the best Obgyn with a fantastic labor and delivery team on standby for when you’re ready to have your baby! My experience was beyond amazing and recovery is just as amazing as well! I came in to have an induction per Dr. Ravins advice and things couldn’t have been smoother! He walked me thru the process step by step when it was time to have my baby girl and had a great anesthesiologist on standby for when I was uncomfortable from being in pain. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience when it came to having my first baby & I will definitely be delivering with them again in the future!
My experience was great dr ravins & his team were all very supportive & made me feel very comfortable. Getting the epidural made me nervous but the anesthesiologist was great as well. I recommend 100% nurses were very attentive to me & my baby which I loved.
My birth story with baby # 4 and my 4th c section. Dr. Raveco and his team are awesome, I came into my c section with possible complications of a placenta accreta and pre eclampsia. My delivery with Dr. Raveco was fast and easy, he made sure to make me feel comfortable before, during, and after the procedure. After surgery he put on a bandage which had helped so much with getting up and walking around. Dr. Raveco you did a master piece not only did you just performed a c section you took your time to fix my scar thank you!! My family’s complete after having 3 girls finally I have my baby boy. Wow if I had an option to go back in time and choose a doctor for my previous c sections I will most definitely choose Dr. Raveco. Thank you so much !!
It was the absolute best experience! I waited at home until my contractions were 4 minutes apart, 1 minute long and lasting for 1 hour, the 4-1-1 rule! This helped me get to the hospital at 6 cm dilated and almost ready to go! Obviously no induction was necessary, I didn’t take the epidural, they broke my water and she was here after I pushed for about 10 minutes! The whole process was less than 2 hours! I’m so thankful to all the doctors and nurses(Jackie was the best) for making my labor seamless!
What an amazing experience with Raveco. They really care to all your needs everything from big to small. Labor was definitely a big scare for me being that this was my first child and I was being induced. I was told over and over again by outsiders to not get the epidural but after 8 hours of labor I caved and got it. I don’t regret getting it one bit! everything went smooth from there on. Dr Shapiro delivered my baby boy and her positive words and all her encouragement really made the process a whole lot easier. Everyone at Raveco really is great and I would give them more stars if I could. I definitely recommend them.
The best experience after I delivered a very healthy 9lb 4oz baby the nurses were amazing and so attentive. Dr Steven Ravins is everything you can ask for in a Doctor, the nurses and the attending doctors did everything they could to avoid giving me a C section. It was a difficult road and Im so happy I got to deliver my baby and not get a C section. Baby is healthy and with 0 issues. Im so happy to have chosen this staff and hospital. Best of all you made it home for Thanksgiving
This is my 2nd Pregnancy with Raveco Medical. As always my OB care was amazing! Thank you to Dr. Steven Ravens and Dr. Okawski for taking such good care of me, for always listening to me and standing by me. To the south nassau labor and delivery! I had an absolute amazing team behind me during my labor ! The anesthesiologist, hands down felt no pain!! For the nurses and residential team, for being so attentive and caring. The MFM in Rockville, just an overall amazing experience!
I can’t begin to explain what an amazing experience I had here at mount Sinai L&D , amazing staff and great bedside manner Dr raven was the sweetest ! Thank you to all the staff for making my delivery and stay the best I could’ve asked for.
Dr Ravins is the best doctor, he makes you feel safe and comfortable when going into surgery with him and let’s not forget how he leaves ur incision afterwards. Really appreciate him and his work
Let the doctor know how the last delivery went and it made a difference for this delivery. Glad they listened to me and took into consideration past delivery experience when handling my current experience. Be sure to share even if it seems insignificant.
Dr. Ravins has definitely helped my labor be as less uncomfortable and efficient with his amazing skills. He is without a doubt the most knowledgable, communicative, and best OB out there. His team was wonderful as well. Would highly recommend!!
Dr Raven and his staff is amazing! Very helpful and caring through my pregnancy journey and I would recommend him to any mothers to be! Great Job Team and thank you for a speedy and safe delivery of my baby boy…and happy new year
Love Dr. Ravins and all staff at his office. They saw me all through out my pregnancy and dr.ravins delivered my beautiful baby boy yesterday! He made the actually delivering of the baby so much better than I expected! I definitely recommend getting the epidural because I was in so much pain at first. Only thing is I would recommend asking a little earlier before the pain gets too much.
Dr. Ravens delivered my second child and in comparison to my first delivery it was such a great experience. Everything from knowledge to his bedside manner and coaching kept me calm throughout the entire process. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and loves what he does. Anyone who has the pleasure of having Dr. Ravens deliver their baby will be in good hands.
I had an excellent birthing experience with dr ravens group at south Nassau. I don’t know how I would have done it without the epidural. It was The best thing ever and I barely felt anything and after 20 minutes of pushing my baby was born.
About two weeks ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy via unplanned C-section. Dr. Ravins and his team did everything they could to pursue a natural birth; however, my husband and I decided to have our baby delivered via a C-section for personal reasons.Dr. Ravins was very professional, knowledgeable, supportive, and explained all aspects of the delivery process as they progressed, which comforted my husband and I. I highly recommend Dr. Ravins for any family that wants a best-in-class birthing experience.
I was terrified to have a C Section. My major concern was the pain and the appearance of the scar after surgery. Dr. Steven Ravins is simply heaven sent, so kind and a phenomenal doctor, his expertise and attention to detail is amazing. Made the whole experience amazingly easy and less terrifying. The appearance of the scar is mind blowing. He is highly experienced and professional and will do an amazing job. I highly recommend him. I know for sure he is my go to person moving forward. 5 stars to him and the rest of the staff at Mount Sinai!
Thank you so much to the entire team at Raveco Medical who made my entire pregnancy go by so smooth. I saw Dr. Olkowski for a majority of my appointments and he made me feel so at ease every appointment. I had an extremely fast birth my first pregnancy and took the advice of Dr. Olkowski and Dr. Shapiro to be induced this time to avoid a very high possibility of giving birth in the car. Dr. Ravins delivered my baby and I couldn’t have asked for a better labor and delivery experience. I was extremely nervous to get an epidural but decided to take his advice of getting it and had the most amazing pain free delivery (p.s. getting the epidural did not hurt at all). I will always be so grateful to everyone at Raveco Medical for giving me such a positive birth experience.
8/30/21 8:08am my precious baby boy Elijah Thomas was born. 8 pounds and 11 ounces. I had such an amazing experience with Dr Ravins. Dr Ravins was very attentive every step of the way. He made my delivery a lot easier and smoother than expected. Definitely the best birthing experience I’ve been through.
I recently gave birth to my first baby girl this past week, and i cannot say enough good things about Raveco ! the entire team made my c-section so smooth and seamless and walked me through the whole process and made me as comfortable as possible ! could not recommend this place enough
I had such an amazing experience delivering with dr Ravins! I got electively induced which usually takes hours sometimes days but I ended up having a 5 hour delivery. Upon going I was extremely weary of getting a epidural but I did opt for getting one and had no complications whatsoever! I highly recommend delivering with dr Ravins & this facility as a whole, the nurses and staff take great care of you before & after delivery! Thank you so much for making my experience special to me!
I had an amazing experience at the labor and delivery. The team made me felt super comfortable from the moment I stepped in, I checked in around 3:30/4pm with 6cm dilated but my water hasnt broken yet therefore it was a lot of pressure and painful contractions. I didnt want to get the epidural this time around as I had a bad experience the first time at a different hospital. (Yes, this is my second pregnancy, my first was during COVID so everything was handled differently) After Dr.Ravins found out i wasnt getting the epidural, his team went ahead and helped me manually pop my water to help quicken the progress so I wont be in so pain longer waiting for it to pop on its own, which I have say.. it definitely did the trick because within mins ... it all started happening, baby girl was ready to make her entrance. Everything happened so quickly I barely had any time to think of anything else but to PUSH. Im glad I had this amazing team to help guide us through it all, Were both healthy and in recovery.Even their maternity recovery team ( nurses, aids ) are super helpful and patience and detailed.Definitely recommend this hospital for all new moms!
I had a repeat c-section with Dr. Ravins at South Nassau and I couldn’t have been more happier. My first experience which was done at another facility was not so great so I was traumatized this time going in. In my first experience, I needed blood transfusions and the recovery was terrible. Dr. Ravins was nothing but warm and welcoming, explaining everything along the way. He takes his time but the outcome is well worth it. I couldn’t have had a better experience. No issues, no transfusions this time. Thank you Dr. Ravins!!
Worst experience. An appointment for 11:30 AM to be attended at 1:30 PM meanwhile other patience who came in after, were being attended as soon as they checked in. The doctors in here are unprofessional and very unwilling to help. Highly recommend to go to another place and not waste your time here. Very horrible experience from the doctors and unprofessional. Best believe this will be taken to the OPMC.
Got my second c-section done by Dr. Raven and it was a completely different and amazing experience. He has such a welcoming and friendly personality, I felt so much more confident going in for the procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Ravens.
I gave birth on September 12, 2023. I switched my OB-GYN to Dr. Ravins starting 3 months into my pregnancy. Dr. Ravins’ interpersonal skills, empathy, compassion, knowledge, and professionalism put me at ease from the very first prenatal visit. During labor, his ability to collaborate with his team (anesthesiologist, residents, and nurses) gave me confidence in everyone who was participating in my labor and delivery, even when he was not in the room. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, especially the amazing nurses. It is also important to highlight that after the delivery, I was given a private room at no extra charge – privacy, peace, and quiet are essential for bonding with a newborn during the first hours/days of recovery. THANK YOU Dr. RAVINS! We could not have dreamt of a better birthing experience!
Im a girl from Italy and what I think is that I have never met such professional and kind doctors, Im really grateful that I met doctor Steven and his team especially Nicole B. I love her and the way she works but above all in the hospital everything was excellent, the staff was always ready to help you, to support you and always attentive to everything. I will never stop thanking them all for allowing me to have such a beautiful and unforgettable experience for my first baby 9lbs 7oz and 21.4 inch natural childbirth.
It was a great experience with Dr.Steven Ravens and his team at The Mount Sainai Hospital, although I had a smooth normal vaginal delivery but he is the best cosmetic Obgyne as well ... Would love to choose him over and over again 💖
Although my labor and delivery was not at all what I expected I must say Dr. Shapiro from Raveco Medical was outstanding every step of the way! My birthing plan was to have a vaginal birth and for a while that was the case until the unexpected happened. Midway through my vaginal delivery my baby’s heart rate was above normal and I developed a fever. Dr. Shapiro acted promptly by telling me that my baby’s life was in danger and advised that a c-section was the only safest option. Although I was extremely disappointed in the news I knew I had to do what was best for the baby. As soon as I went to the OR, Dr. Shapiro was a lioness and immediately performed my c-section. My baby came out crying and perfectly healthy. Ladies I share this story to tell you all to throw away your birthing plan and be open minded because anything can happen during labor and delivery process. I’m so glad I had Dr. Shapiro and the rest of the team at Raveco Medical by my side throughout my pregnancy journey.
I would love to give a special thanks to Dr. ravins and his staff for being there for me from the beginning to the end of my pregnancy, and making sure that my health is good but later on towards the end of my pregnancy ive been having complications like high blood pressure and mild preeclampsia since i had it in the past so once they found about that they were concern and on top of my health every step of the way especially when early this November my baby wanted to come out early that they try their best to stop the contractions which they did so the baby can stay little longer until 37 weeks which it happened. Once i reach 37 weeks i had a c section and everything went well until i had complications afterwards out of the blue and it was a very scary situation but raveco medical team and hospital were quickly on top of everything and making sure that i will be ok and thank goodness they did. I am still recovering but i feel so confident, comfortable and definitely recommend going to their clinic. Again thank you thabk yiu from the bottom ofyHeart for having such a great experience.
My care at Mount Sinai south Nassau was amazing. Upon achieving 4cm dilation, the paid was unbearable; I then opted for an epidural and it was one of the best decisions of my life. Although the sharpness of the pain was filled and I could still feel the pressure, I was able to complete my delivery with more focus. I def recommend women get an epidural and in an early enough stage that it could take effect. Many special thanks to the maternity and birthing team at Mount Sinai south Nassau!
I am very grateful to Dr. Steven Ravins for a healthy delivery. This was my second birth with him and I am immensely glad that he is my doctor, he is very caring, always positive and it is very easy to work with him. I cant even describe in words how easy it all went. I had two large babies in 2021 and 2023 for 9 pounds but I gave birth myself with his help.I am also very grateful to his team at Mount Sinai Hospital, they are so caring and helped me a lot. I asked the nurse not to leave me during the contractions and she sat with me from the beginning to the end of the birth, giving me her hand. Thank you so much Raveco Team and special thanks to Dr Steven Ravins he is the best of the best.
I never imagined that having twins would be such a rewarding experience out of the ordinary that everyone expects, a lot of stress, two babies, double responsibilities. We loved the treatment towards us from day one by Dr Steven Ravins, he is extremely special and a very good professional, he totally dedicated himself to making our experience as rewarding and easy as possible. Thank God everything turned out in the best way through a cesarean section that was not too big and was extremely special and fun.
This was my first pregnancy and Dr. Ravens and the nurses were great and made me feel very comfortable for my Labor & Delivery experience! I was very hesitant about getting the epidural but in the end it made my delivery soo much easier & I didnt even feel a thing! Will definitely be coming back here for baby number 2 !
My heart fills with happiness and gratitude as I write this piece on behalf of my husband and myself! I came to Raveco medical after a very bad experience with another practitioner in NYC! My husband and I, 39 and 38 respectively, wanted to start a family! Drs. Shapiro, Olkowski (O) and Ravins made sure we received the best care! Not only did I get pregnant immediately, despite my PCOS, being high risk due to advanced maternal age, being anemic and with Gestational diabetes, I was able to have the best and healthiest pregnancy experience and outcomes thanks to the thorough medical care and advice from the team! Not only did I not put on excessive weight, my baby was born healthy and here we both are with no complications! We are eternally grateful to the team for their warmth, compassion, high standards, excellent advice , dedication and commitment to women’s health and safety! The whole team at Raveco Medical are exceptional and we are extremely grateful and thankful to have been under their care!
Dr Ravins was amazing when it came to safely delivering my baby, he checked in on me and his team was very attentive. Shout out to Nurse Gusty and Louis. Thank you to the Raveco team for my Prenatal care , everyone was great.
I had an amazing birth experience with this hospital it was my first baby and I wasn’t really educated on my birth plan or on epidurals anything like that with my obgyn but they were a lovely staff and answered all my questions I had. I came in not wanting an epidural due to all the horrible stories I was told they educated me on them told me it was up to me if I wanted the epidural later on or not didn’t feel pressured but NOT all births are the same I took my time to decide to take the epidural and once I took it it was a relief Don’t let anyone scare you with birth stories NOT everyone’s is the same! I loved every thing about my birth experience here I won’t change a thing!
Dr. Steven Ravins is an exceptional doctor! I recently had a natural delivery and I cannot express my gratitude enough for him and his staff. They made the entire experience amazing. I felt well taken care of and supported throughout the process. Dr. Ravins expertise and the dedication of his staff made me feel confident and comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Steven Ravins to anyone in need of an outstanding doctor. Thank you, Dr. Ravins, for everything! 🌟👨⚕️
Had an amazing normal delivery with Dr Ravins and his team. Only labored for between 1-2 hours with contractions and had a great epidural where I could barely feel the pain except for the contractions closer to pushing time. Such a positive birth experience with the best team ever.
I have delivered my second baby with Raveco Medical. They have done above and beyond for me and my baby. I’m truly grateful for Dr. Ravins, Dr. Olkowski and Dr. Karen for their excellent care from the beginning to the end. I always feel very well cared for with them. I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve provided!Every doctor in the office is very professional and provides best service. I didn’t have to run to different places for ultrasounds and blood test. Everything was done within the building.Doctor Ravins delivered the baby and he carefully took care of the tears afterwards. I would recommend Raveco to every mom to be.
Such an amazing place to go not only for your regular GYN visits but for your prenatal care as well! The entire team is amazing! Claudia, Steven and Edward! Wow, thank you guys for taking care of me and making sure I was safe in my pregnancy. I had to deliver 3 weeks earlier due to complication and I went to Mount Sinai South Nassau (That’s the hospital they’re affiliated for delivery) and doctor Steven’s and Edward made sure I was taken care of by staff. Doctor Edward built a great relationship with my husband throughout our visits and being in the delivery with him made us feel safe. We welcomed our 7lb 8oz baby boy with music and joy. Thank you for everything! Will continue to do all my visits with them and I highly recommend!
My experience was beautiful. The doctors are wonderful people, my baby was born by C section with Dr. Olkowski and he is a wonderful person!! They made my entire process easier. the attention in the hospital was excellent . thank you!!
I got an epidural everything went great. Honestly the epidural is the best thing to get. I would not of made it through labor without it!There’s nothing but great doctors here and i am happy beyond expectation to have my baby boy here
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ravens. I had a planned scheduled c-section due to my baby being breach. He walked me through step by step everything that was going to happen and has ensured my comfort ever since. He included my husband every step of the way and made sure to explain everything to him in addition to me (very helpful when there are so many emotions!). The quality of care was outstanding- and I will be switching to his office permanently (originally part of a group that uses him as a delivering doctor only). The care, quality of work and professionalism are 5/5.
I truly enjoy coming to this office. I’ve been coming here for about 10 years now and they’ve never been anything short of amazing. The receptionists are very friendly and Dr Claudia Ravins always takes her time with me and tells me exactly how it is. She doesn’t sugar coat but she also praises me when I do it the right way. I started as a teen and will continue coming here for all my gynecologist needs.
Dr.Ravins was truly amazing! He helped deliver my baby boy today and he was my second and let me tell you this was the most pain free delivery I had. He took the time to explain to you how you should be pushing which helped me deliver my baby in under 40 mins! You can tell he really cares about his patients and is passionate about what he does.
I’m so blessed to came across Dr. Raven and his team from beginning to end it has been an amazing experience, had my second child by C-section and can honestly say the recovery has been a better experience compared to my first which was done at another location.I’m so thankful for the raven medical team I would strongly recommend 🙏
I can’t be more grateful with doctor Steven Ravins and his team on how the procedure was done!! from start to finish every step was explained and the surgery was done with plenty of care for me and my baby. The scaring was minimal and looks great so far and will definitely recommend him and his team 100% thank you for everything!!.
Made an appointment to see Dr. Irada Shapiro, was called 2 days before saying she won’t be in and that the next appointment was 2 weeks out after already waiting 2 weeks to be seen. The next available appointment was with Nicole. I was supposed to be the 2nd appointment at 10:15am and they called me at 10:35am to then say “sorry hold on” and I sat back down for another 10 minutes before I decided to reschedule. I asked if I can make the first appointment with Dr. Shapiro and was told she tends to be late so she doesn’t come in until 1030/11am.. who wants a doctor with bad time management skills? Just canceled my rescheduled appointment.The front desk staff were great btw. Idk what’s going on with the medical staff.
Dr. Ravins and his team were beyond amazing with the my entire labor and delivery. From the moment I met them, I kindly asked that our babies gender remain anonymous, because we wanted it to be a surprise and they went out of their way to make sure it happened smoothly. Not only did they give us an amazing experience, but he along with his heart warming staff made sure that our anticipated moment was one to cherish forever. I truly appreciate everyone’s help and generosity in bringing our special day come together so perfectly. Thanks again!!!
Best experience I ever had was my scheduled c section with Dr. Steven Ravins, I am extremely happy because my labor experience was the best due to my first baby was traumatic but dr ravins and nurses where the best, I was always calm due to the confidence I was getting from DR and all staff, let me tell you that anesthesiologist was also the best very good at his job I did not feel a thing, I love how recovery is going and my scar is looking great. 🥰🥰🥰🥰Thank you Dr.Ravins for doing such an excellent job with me and many other women. 🫶🏻🙏🏻❤️
I have been my anual checkups at Raveco for years and of course I was there throughout my pregnancy with Dr Ravins. And I had an Amazing experience delivering with Dr. Ravins. He was very attentive all throughout my induction experience my delivery was PERFECT. I really never imagined having such a perfect delivery in just two pushes my baby came out. I also felt very comfortable in the hospital. Without thinking I would once again choose Dr. Ravins and his team.
This is a place where 10x out of 10 I recommend, even if I was to live in a different state. They way you are cared for, the attentiveness it’s phenomenal. Steven Ravins my favorite but all the other doctors are amazing as well. I went to the hospital with 4cm and got dilated. The nurses I had I wouldn’t replace them for anyone else. I was in labor for 8 hours and pushed my baby out in 13mins thanks to their support and guidance. Definitely a place to give a try and be a patient in.
Thanks to Dr. Steven, I follow his advice on the epidural, for a first time mom, and with twins, it was the best advice ever! Got to deliver my babies naturally!! And felt so good and proud of myself to get to this experience! Don’t run from the epidural, trust me! It’ll be the best decision you’ll make!
I gave birth & delivered on Tuesday with Dr.Ravens. This happened to be my 3rd c section and I must say, this was the best birthing experience I have had. Dr.Ravens was so warm, personable and put me at ease. I had previous scar tissue and keloiding on my prior incision. When I tell you this man made it his mission to turn my old scar into a work of art! I am so pleased with everything and my only regret is that I wish I would have all my deliveries done with him!
Dr. Ravins is AMAZING!!!!! His team was AMAZING as well!!!! They took such great care of me from the very beginning. We joked the entire time of my C-section. Which is great going in for such a serious procedure, that positively in the air was everything. My belly is so small I would have never thought I could bounce back so fast. We were able to get pictures while in there OR which I will cherish forever! Thank you Dr. Ravins for such a great experience.
I was scheduled to be induced and really wanted to have a natural birth. Dr. Ravins and his team assured me that they would do their best to achieve that goal for me. I’ve had two surgeries due to breast cancer in the past 12 months and really wanted to avoid a third. Even when things were not necessarily going as a planned during delivery, Dr. Ravins and his team kept my interests and more importantly my health at the forefront. Thank you Dr. Ravins for your compassion and understanding.
Extremely thankful for Dr. Ravins and the team that delivered my baby! Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ravins, cannot recommend him enough to other soon-to-be moms! His bedside manner is impeccable; he’s kind, funny, patient and stays calm in stressful situations. My husband and mother absolutely adore him; he spent time explaining his decision process and reassuring them. His confidence and knowledge were very calming.I truly appreciate that all of his decisions were based on both mine and my baby’s well-being and not based on his convenience. I also really appreciate that he took my delivery wishes into account. Although I was flexible and willing to do anything to get my baby safely out, Dr. Ravins knew I had preferences regarding my delivery, and did the maximum he could to honor all of them.Again, highly recommend Dr. Ravins for a safe patient-centered delivery!
Amazing experience delivering with Dr. Ravins. He was very attentive all throughout my induction experience. Compared to all my pregnancies, this delivery was the MOST CALM and PEACEFUL DELIVERY I EVER HAD.Also worth mentioning is NP Nicole, she’s very informative, helpful and she made me feel comfortable during my ob visits specially on my 3rd trimester where everything is just uncomfortable.Just two things to improve, the waiting time in the office (i waited for 2 hrs once and their normal waiting time is 1 hr) and getting a hold of someone thru the phone.
There were conditions in my pregnancy outside of my control, a complete placenta previa. I had to undergo a c section as bad as I would have loved to give a natural vaginal home birth that quickly was not an option on the table for me as far as I know currently. I had to come to terms with my situation and focus on getting my son here safely. I appreciate Doctor David who initiated my epidural he was well versed and swift in his part in my c section along with the entire Mount Sinai staff! Thank you for everything!
Had an amazing birthing experience with Dr Ravins and his team. He just knew what my body could take and went with the flow with so much positive energy! Everything he said at that moment made him so trustworthy that I was pushing while looking at him and not the mirror or other resources provided to me; a Hero he is! Just focusing on his directions, I pushed out my baby in less than 30 mins with minimal tearing; the laceration is done perfectly which isnt noticeable at all! He checked on me at the postpartum unit as well. Simply AMAZING
Dr Ravins and his team were great. I was determined not to have a C section and the team really worked with me. I had a successful VBAC. They guided me all the way once I was admitted. They gave great advice and I was able to have a vaginal delivery after 1 c section. It was hard work but all worth it.
Raveco Medical has the best doctors. They are very passionate about their work and truly take care of you from the beginning of the pregnancy to the end and keep making sure everything is good weeks after delivery. I had 2 c-sections with them and the care they gave me is difficult to describe with words. Doctor Ravens is an amazing human being and all the staff in the office are very sweet and treat you very well. Doctor Ravens did an excellent job with my scar and looks very natural. Waiting time is not bad. I did recommend them to family and friends that have been asking and will keep recommend them forever. I will be forever grateful for the care my family received there. Thanks Raveco Medical 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Being that this was my first time giving birth. The experience was amazing. The Staff were so attentive and caring. They made it so much more easier for me! Dr. Ravins is the most coolest, caring and easygoing doctor out there!!
Wonderful experience, made me feel so comfortable even when i felt like i was falling off the bed from being so numb lol. Best dr ever !
Dr.Ravins and his medical team are amazing staff members. Especially at the time of delivery there phenomenal.
Dr.Ravins is the most wonderful, patient and considerate doctor I’ve ever met. I would not change anything during my labor. My life changing experience was phenomenal and it was all thanks to the knowledgable well experienced Dr. Ravins by my side. He was so patient and able to explain each situation calmly, which will make me feel comfortable with all the decisions that was took that night. Words cannot describe my appreciation for him and his wonderful team that took care of me, my beautiful baby and family.
Dr. Ravins is the absolute best! My fiancé and I were not thrilled once we learned that we were not good candidates for VBA3C. Once speaking to this doctor he not only showed compassion; he made us feel like we were being heard. We ultimately agreed that repeat cesarean would be the safest choice possible for me . Up until the day of surgery my partner and I were still a little upset and very torn but we now know this was the best choice we could have made. The procedure could not have gone any better ! My fear of a repeat cesarean was due to the trauma I experienced with previous doctors. Dr. Ravins took his time to fix me up and he went above and beyond anything I could have ever expected or hoped for . Finding doctors who are truly compassionate about their patients wants and needs is very rare these days .During this process of figuring out which birth plan was right for us … I began to lose faith in the health care system all together but after this experience I now know that amazing doctors still do exist ! Thanks again Dr. Ravins … thanks to you and also the wonderful medical team who worked alongside you at Mt . Sinai Hospital - Oceanside NY
Dr ravins is the best! I decided to have an elective c section and I have ZERO regrets in my decision. It’s a big procedure and not one to take lightly , I am a petite woman 5’1 with a very small frame- and my baby was measuring on the bigger side and by 40 weeks he was estimated at 8 pounds. When I had shown no signs of labor after my due date I decided to let my obgyn know that I would prefer to have a c section over an induction at 41 weeks - I had a previous pregnancy where I was induced due to my baby being growth restricted ( opposite to this one ) and was in labor for over 40 hours and had trouble pushing her out despite her only being 5 pounds 14 oz. A c section is a big surgery and not one to have for the sake of it and I don’t recommend it unless there was a legitimate medical reason , but instinct told me that a c section was vital in this case , but as baby weight is often at an estimate one of the staff member freaked about me having the surgery that the baby would not be that big for me and it wouldn’t be necessary. I’m no dr but I knew it would’ve been harder than Thank goodness I listened to my instinct because I had almost a 9 pound baby ! And my experience was great as dr ravens is experienced and skilled did an amazing job and my scar is tiny you wouldn’t even know a baby that big came out of it. I want to thank Dr ravens and his staff in the delivery room for their amazing job- and for supporting my decision and giving me the best medical advice for me to make an informed decision! Highly recommend!!
Dr Ravins did an amazing job!!!!!!My baby was not liking my contractions. After each contraction, her heart rate dropped. The nurses tried every possible position and it didn’t work. The fluid around my baby was very low. They tried to replenish it.Dr Ravins suggested C section and I was all in. It was a very quick procedure. Sterility was on point. My incision was next to none. I’m keloid prone and they also took care of that.I am very grateful for the quick response from Dr Ravins and the team.
I had a wonderful experience giving birth at this hospital. This was my third baby, and I went into hard active labor quickly. They took my right in, monitored me, and got my epidural going - no issues and it worked like a charm. I also had a big baby, and the labor and delivery team worked together to help me push him out quickly and safely. Everyone has been so great!
I came in a 8am on Saturday 2/25/23 for my induction of my first child.. Dr. Ravins tried everything he could for a natural birth. After 24 hours I was stuck at 6cm and decided to go forward with a c-section as the best option. Dr. Ravins assured me everything would run smoothly and he was right. I had a successful c-section. I have a very low, clean incision that’s barely visible. I am so happy with how I was taken care of and I am recovering great. I welcomed a healthy baby boy with the help of Dr.Ravins and his team. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
This is my second time having Dr Ravins as my ObGyn for my second child. I got pregnant 1 year after my first baby that had to have delivered via c-section due to failure to progress. Dr. Ravins was amazing and took care of me the entire gestation during both pregnancies. My second pregnancy I had decided to have a c-section. The experience of being scheduled to be at the hospital at a certain date and time put me at ease knowing that I had a time line. I went to the hospital and even had the time to do my hair and make up. I was admitted and treated with the upmost respect and care. Once in the OR things moved so professionally and quickly, I was even given the option to listen to the music I wanted to keep me relaxed. I of course chose something that usually keeps me upbeat and happy (badbunny) the surgery was fast and right before my baby was about to be born the partition came down and my husband and I were able to see our baby boy being born. This was such a magical moment seeing my baby boy come out for the first time. My husband was allowed to cut the umbilical cord and was immediately given our son to take pictures and hold him. These little things meant so much to us. Dr Ravins has been an excellent doctor and supporter
Went for induction labour. Dr Ravins is our delivery doctor. On the morning of Aug 28th went to the hospital, water bag was broken at 3am on Aug 29th, around 5am contractions started, trying all my best to push baby out all the way till 10am with no epidural But baby is sunny side up, Dr Ravins and his team really worked hard to help me through this process because I really wanted a normal delivery instead of C sec but to have a healthy baby after pushing for 5 hours, me and my husband decided to go for c sec, the process is really calm, Dr Ravins and his team are so professional! My stitches are now dried and my husband say it was done beautifully. This is our first baby and we are going home tomorrow! Thank you Dr Ravins and the whole team! I really appreciate all the encouragement and effort the team helped us through. Thank you all once again!
I wanted to share my story since it would bring hope to other ladies who are going through or will go through this hurdle in their pregnancy . At around 17 weeks in my pregnancy I was diagnosed with short cervix and was left shattered thinking about the future of my pregnancy but thankfully I had gone through a procedure called cerclage which is basically a cervical stitch to close the cervix manually and this was done by Dr Ravins . I didn’t know how long would it carry my baby but all thanks to Dr Ravins I was able to carry my baby till 38 weeks before I opted for panned C section and Dr Ravins delivered my baby . My C section recovery was also smooth and again thanks to him for operating me so well that my incision healed as quick as it can . So ladies don’t loose hope if you are facing similar situation . A good doctor can take your pregnancy as far as it can
Dr Ravins was amazing!!!!! He really made me feel confident and comfortable with everything & especially myself. I just had my 2nd VBAC. This is my 3rd child and by far the biggest out of all. I was anticipating another csection but I decided to lean towards a vaginal delivery if still possible. I have been dilating for 3 days and on the 3rd day I finally had cervical change and was admitted in the hospital. I came in around 7:30am and gave birth same day at 3:20pm. Dr Ravins helped me throughout all 3 days and really helped me through my active labor. I am now feeling great, it’s the next day I’m up and moving, honestly a bit sore which i know is totally part of the healing but I totally advise to do a vbac if possible. Thank you again Dr Ravins for everything!!!
Dr. Steven Ravins was amazing during my delivery. He made me feel comfortable. I appreciate my concerns were valued and the care that was given to me was 10 out of 10. Thank you Dr. Shapiro for the care you provided throughout my pregnancy.
What to say about this amazing group of doctors? Labor initially was off to a rocky start 24 hours prior I was sent home because my body wasn’t ready. Came back into the hospital 26 hours later and was considered entering into active labor. After receiving my epidural it was a matter of 4 hours. 3 to finish dilating and the last hour of pushing and I met my amazing baby! The doctors coached me on when to push and encouraged me every step of the way, I truly believe the teamwork and the dynamic they created made my labor a swift and successful one!
I don’t even know how to start this review, Im so grateful to have Dr Irada Shapiro and Dr Steven Ravins in my life 🥹I’ve been coming to this office since 2016 to do my OBGYN regular check ups with Dr Shapiro.I had my IUD removed after 8 years of having it back in 2020 because my husband and I were looking for a baby and finally on January of this year I was able to get pregnant again of my third child.Everything was okay until my 32 week when I had to call Dr Shapiro because I had fever, was vomiting and had a real bad pelvic pain going towards my back right side. Right away she asked me to go to the hospital (Mount Sinai South Nassau)As soon as I got to the hospital my journey started 😭 they couldnt do a CT Scan or Xray because of the baby so they did an MRI with no contrast and they find out I had gold stones and kidney stones. I CAN NOT EXPLAIN THIS HORRIBLE PAIN I HAD 😩 worst than a contraction.Long story short, Dr Ravins got involved and started to do everything on his end so this pain could go away. They spoke to Urologist Dr Herman and OBGYN Dr El Kady from the Hospital and made a decision to place a stent to help the stones pass. Surgery was done the best way possible to protect the baby.Unfortunately after surgery the stent did not help the stones to come out but my pain got a bit better. I was taking strong medicine for the pain until they decided to induced me on week 37 when the baby was more developed and less risk to have him in NICU.My baby boy was born Friday Sep 8th, Dr Shapiro was able to deliver my baby as she promised and she did such a great job 🥰 I love her so much 💙Today Sep 11th I had surgery again and had the stent and the stones removed 🙏🏼 everything went well and now that Im back in the room I look at my baby and I just cant believe this pain is gone and my baby is healthy after all that medicine (narcotics) for the pain. He’s staying in the hospital for 5 days just to make sure he doesnt develop withdraw syndrome but Im staying here with him even tho I can go home tomorrow but they are so kind and let me stay here with the baby until Wednesday.Dr Steven was so good to me, always on top of everything, making sure things were getting done. He just came by (8:45pm) as happy as I am right now, couldnt believe I was done with that horrible pain and have my baby boy in my arms. He such a good Doctor 👏🏼To my Dr Shapiro I have no words to THANK YOU ENOUGH for what you did with me in this pregnancy and towards the end of it. Not only in my pregnancy but also all these years. You are such an amazing person and off course the BEST OBGYN 👏🏼 🥹“If you are looking for the best OBGYN Doctors in Queens, I can tell you now that this is the right place (Raveco Medical). Dr Shapiro and Dr Ravins to me are the best in this world”They will take care of you and make you feel like FAMILY 💙 God bless these Doctors. 🙏🏼
Giving birth was an amazing experience and having doctor raven there to guide me and really get the party started was the best decision I have ever made. He is truly amazing. My sister wasn’t lying when she said he was truly amazing. He took care of her 3 pregnancy and since then he became our family OBGYN. Asking for the epidural was also a great decision. It was the best, I felt no pain during the whole process even while giving birth. I would definitely recommend ravens to any one who wants to have an amazing birth and for who ever has doubt on asking for the epidural GO FOR IT.
Not a great experience! This office can not get any worse if they try.For starters I was booked for an appointment at 9:00 am but the receptionist did not until probably 20 mins later AND the doctors arrive an hour late. ( Nicole, Ravins and Shapiro) I’ve booked with them all! This office is always running behind and lack communication with the patient’s. They will keep you in rooms for naked for about an hour. The staff in the front are rude. I over heard the tall Dominican Girl complain “Nicole needs to act like a PA and stop whining like a baby” and how she does not get paid ENOUGH to do this! The office is the filthiest. Zero sanitation what’s so every.
Hi, I would 100% recommend Dr. Steven Ravins to future moms who is looking for a very-very good doctor because he has hands of gold. How do I know? I had multiple c-sections with different doctors, but I had my C-section #4 with Dr. Steven and I am exceptionally pleased with my results. After I saw him in OB/GYN office for three first time, I understood that I had found that doctor who I was looking for a long time. He is a doctor who really loves his job. He is very friendly and kind. Thanks to him, I was reassured that this surgery would be safe and Im in good hands. He is very skilled, and I was able to recover quicker. I would also like to thank his team of anesthesiologists, who professionally and confidently did their job. I hope this comment helps the future moms. Thank you 🙏
Dr Ravin and the team were very amazing . I went from being induced to needing an emergency C-section. My baby was unresponsive they saved him . I am forever so grateful for their hard work and dedication. Now I have a healthy baby boy.
At 37 weeks, I was scheduled for an Induction due to Cholestasis, and to a surprise at my last appointment baby Niko was breech. I was told C-section was the only option and with sadness I accepted my faith. Until Dr. Ravins called me and said he could try a External Cephalic Version, his confidence and undeniable experience was an easy yes for me. On Thursday June 8th , I was scheduled for a version that was successful, the procedure lasted no more than 30 mins with no pain . It was meant to be, my trust in Dr. Ravins and his experience in this technique saved me from a C-Section, I was induced shortly after and delivered a healthy baby boy vaginally with no complications. Faith was the major factor, along with our trust in Dr. Ravins. I am so thankful!
We are so thankful to welcome our fourth baby into the world with the help of Dr. Ravins! We scheduled an induction (my first ever) at 41 weeks and I didn’t know what to expect. The hospital staff was thorough at explaining the answers to each of my questions along the way, and they were quick when we made requests. When contractions were getting pretty painful, I requested an epidural. My nurse acted quickly and the anesthesiologist was very patient through my contractions, and so helpful in relieving my pain. Dr. Ravins is an incredible doctor who carries much respect from the hospital staff as the best of the best. He has delivered two of our four babies and we trust him as he has lived up to his reputation. His confidence and light-hearted conduct paired with the high level of care and compassion he gave to both my husband and me, made our birth experience one we will remember and cherish.
I had the best experience with Dr. Steven Ravins!! Being that Im a nervous wreck, He made sure that i was comfortable. He did a great job and made sure i was satisfied with everything which i am beyond satisfied!! I would highly recommend him to anyone!! I love the fact that he doesnt rush which is very important with a surgery like that!! Steven you are AWESOME!! Thank you for bringing into this world my prince that we been waiting for!
This was my third pregnancy and I was seeking our a doctor who was experienced and well versed at treating a variety of conditions during pregnancy. I started seeing Dr. Ravins at my first visit and was right away I felt assured that I would be receiving quality care that consisted of frequent ultrasounds and testing to ensure the safety of myself and my baby. Ive had prior experience with other doctors during delivery and my recovery was much easier under the the care of Dr. Ravins. After my csection I was given a waist binder which helped immensely with my pain levels and healing. My postpartum appointments were also made prior to my delivery. Througout my pregnancy at every visit I left feeling assured that the health and safety of myself and my baby were truly being cared for. I would highly recommend Dr. Ravins and the entire team at Raveco Medical to anyone seeking out caring quality OBGYN care.
Hey guys, so im 51 everything went so well throughout my pregnancy, even though i must admit I was scared to have gotten a c-section because they had told me I would need a c-section due to the fact my baby was 9 pounds & im very tiny, but luckily I was able to push out my baby boy naturally & had a vaginal birth along with an epidural which was by far the best choice I ever made! Because it relived my pain a lot & I was able to relax & rest for a bit, with the help of one of the best doctors here along with his team made me half a safe smooth beautiful delivery !!!!
I just gave birth the other day with Dr. Ravins and it was one of the most easiest, least painful birth experiences I’ve had. He took extra care of me and made sure I was comfortable and informed of every move he was making just in case I was unprepared. He is one of the most professional and most caring doctors I’ve ever met. Highly recommend him to any other mothers giving birth. Thanks for the best professional doctor.🙏
My experience with Dr.Ravins at Mount Sinai South Nassau has been wonderful. This was my second csection and compared to my first it does not compare. The nurses and Anesthesiologist were wonderful. They made me feel at ease each step of the way. They explained what was gonna happen so no surprise at any moment. I was able to have that skin to skin time with my daughter that did not feel rushed and once she was born she was always at my side. I will definitely recommend this hospital and Dr. who took care of me and my daughter as the best experience to have a baby.
I had a great experience. He is an amazing doctor. He really made my birth experience amazing. He delivered us a beautiful healthy baby boy!
Dr. Steven Ravins is the best! He has delivered two of my babies this year and last year and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ravins. He is incredibly enthusiastic, encouraging, friendly, thorough, extremely knowledgeable and really supportive.Dr. Ravin’s excellence became acutely evident during my delivery. There were a few complications, and I’m confident that the reason that everything turned out fine for me and my daughter is because Dr. Ravins is a fantastic OB. He was really encouraging and supportive during the “push” part of my delivery.I would highly, highly recommend him to everybody!
At 23 weeks pregnant i started having shortness of breath, dizziness and nausea. Dr. Ravins stated it might be a Pulmonary Embolism and suggested to go to labor and delivery, when arrived at the hospital after many procedures results came back with exactly a PE. I was immediately admitted. The doctors and staff made sure i was well taken care off. I was put on blood thinners which really helped. I made it to 9 months and had a safe and healthy delivery and baby. Thank you Raveco Medical, DR. Ravins and MFM for all your help and support.
Excellent experience, from the moment I was induced until the time I was wheeled out of the hospital. The team was amazing, answered every question, was informative and compassionate throughout the entire labor and delivery. Epidural was amazing I was hesitant at first and was so pleased with how it worked out, would highly recommend going over the options.
From 1-10 I’d rate the whole experience 1000. This is my second birth and although I’m beyond grateful for both there’s truly no comparison. From check in on the day of my induction to check out two days later I felt nothing but comfort from everyone on the team. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable and informative and very thorough with every question I had, if any. My delivery was like no other !! Filled with so many nervous emotions but it was beautiful and calm as ever & in just three pushes my son entered the world with the assistance of Dr Olkowski and in a room filled with grace. Thank you to all of the staff, and MD’s that assisted me and my family during this precious time. If and when it’s my time again, it wouldnt be anyone other than Dr Olkowski or Dr Ravins & his team by my side. Thank you so much to the RaveCoMedical family !!
Dr. Steven ravins has been a phenomenal doctor, I got my c section done by him at mnt sinai south Nassau. He is so particular about how things get done. Look no longer for your baby delivery doctor. 10/10 Doctors and staffs.
My experience with Dr Steve Ravins was beyond amazing. He help me deliver a full term baby (38weeks) after experiencing two pre term pregnancies . It wasn’t easy!!! I was 5cm dilated for about 2weeks. Hospital sent me home twice because I was not dilating. But Dr Ravins made sure to see me every other day anytime I call the emergency line someone was there to answer the phone until it was finally go time. I was so scared I was going to need a c section since the baby was so big. But him and his team guided me through the whole process. I delivered my baby boy at 6lb 11oz vaginally, as comfortable as possible. Word can not describe how grateful I am for him and his team!!!
Two csections and a adompinoplasty later. I was petrified of what would become of my third C-section boy oh boy Steven ravins and his team took care of me very well I was in and out for my C-section with no complications and minimal pain was not what I was expecting after having three previous surgeries I’m so very thankful for Dr. Ravins warm and respectful, reassuring personality and I’m so glad I chose Garden Obgyn
Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor to deliver our first baby boy. My mom having 9 kids herself couldn’t believe how amazing Dr. Ravins is. He made us feel so comfortable and I had the best experience ever. Truly blessed to have had him as our delivering doctor.
I had a great experience throughout and after my pregnancy at Raveco (Forest Hills). Dr. Ravens is a really friendly doctor who cares about his patients and answers all your questions. He delivered our little girl to this world. She means everything to us. Me and my husband are so thankful. Thank you Dr. Ravens and all the staff at Raveco Medical.
Dr. Steven Ravins , where do I begin … from start to finish you and your staff has been so accommodating. I was so comfortable I felt like I was a part of the south nassau family! The procedure aka the C-section was on point , every move that doctor Ravin made was complete and adiquately done. I woke up with no pain or pressure where my sergery took place. His follow up with me was the next morning which was fun and sweet , what an amazing guy!!! I would not recommend anyone but him to get the job done!!!! Great job doc, thank you for delivering my son in the safest and most strategic way possible. I put all my trust in to the doctors and staff and they did not disappoint!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I am ultimately happy and satisfied with this office, both the Doctors and Sonographers theyre all very kind. Dr. Olkaski is the best with the care of his patients and makes you feel at home, this is my second pregnancy in his care. The Sono Tech Raquel is very sweet and very professional. If you are looking for a new office, I totally recommend coming here.
Had two wonderful birth experiences with Dr Ravins. He delivered my son in 2020 (emergency C-section) and my daughter today (planned C-section). Both were very different experiences, but him his team made both births stories beautiful. We are very blessed with our healthy Daughter and Son and cannot thank Dr Ravins and his team enough! Dr Ravins went up and beyond for me and is a perfectionist on his incisions and care which makes him one of the best drs. I highly recommend him for your child’s birth journey. You will be in the best of hands literally.
Excellent care and attention throughout my pregnancy. Giving birth i felt safe and trusted my doctor at all times. Dr. Steven Ravins was amazing during my labor, im so grateful for his team at the office and nurses at the hospital. Amazing and caring team! Like family!
I was scheduled to be induced at one of the hospitals Dr. Ravens is affiliated with. Once my induction begin and I started contracting I went extremely rapidly and actually delivered before Dr. Ravens arrived at the hospital however actually meeting him the following day I realized Dr. Ravens is an absolute amazing doctor and is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone on any given day. He took care of my baby and I with such care and attention and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
I am very grateful to Raveco Medical and Dr. Steven Ravins, who performed my C-section on November 8th, 2022. A few years ago, in Quito Ecuador, I had a myotomy with a postoperative period that was very painful and slow. The C-section that Dr. Ravins performed on me was spectacular. My baby came out perfectly fine, and my recovery has been very fast. Dr. Ravins explained everything to me step by step on what was going to happen during the surgery and after. I am now four weeks postpartum, and I can get up and walk around with almost no pain at all. Also, the scar from the surgery has healed up really well, leaving almost no scar. Once again, I would like to thank you, Dr. Ravins and the wonderful staff at Raveco for making my pregnancy as stress and pain-free as possible.
First off I want to thank everyone who works at Raveco Medical & the hospital they are affiliated with Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital. I just delivered my son here, and I am also a returning patient at this hospital. They staff here are amazing, kind, informative, supportive, work fast ! & make sure your experience there is as smooth as possible. May I also add while giving birth I did receive an epidural and it was amazing! Not only for this birth but also for my daughters birth 5 years ago. Ladies if you’re thinking about getting an epidural during your delivery please don’t hesitate! I didn’t feel a thing ! And it worked right away ! Wow I am blown away with the services, staff, and especially my doctors I saw within my time at Raveco Medical. Overall I give this review a 5 stars for always making my deliveries memorable & amazing. So amazing that I came back again to deliver my third child !
I truly appreciate the experience I had with Dr. Ravins. I came to Mt. Sinai South Nassau to birth my first baby. I was not dilated much but Dr. Ravins urged me to stay and get labor started since I was overdue. I was adamant that I really wanted to deliver vaginally. Although I had consistent contractions, baby’s heart rate dropped and I was not dilated enough after an epidural and Pitocin. Dr. Ravins knew my concerns and tried several different measures so that I can have the birth I desired. He helped dilation progress and administered another round of Pitocin. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy after two pushes. I am so thankful to Dr. Ravins for listening, understanding, and doing all that he could to ensure I had a the type of delivery I wanted. What a phenomenal doctor!
I changed providers midway into my pregnancy and I’m so glad I did it. From my first visit, doctors and nurses conveyed a wholistic care for myself and my baby. I developed GD during my third trimester and was closely monitored by a high risk doctor in addition to the OB. Together we designed a care plan with the primary intention to carry the baby full term. No doctor rushed to medication or tried to push for unnecessary inductions. I am so appreciative for that.However, pregnancy is a journey of unexpected changes. On my 38week check up at Raveco Medical, I showed signs of hypertension. I was admitted to the hospital immediately for an induction. This was not part of my birth plan but I understood that decisions were being made for the safety of my baby and I.The hospital experience was extraordinary. They provide private rooms, have birthing tools available like peanut balls and wireless monitors. Every nurse that cared for me was kind and comforting. Doctors explained each step of the process and provided me with options. I was fully aware and had agreed to the interventions received to induce labor. I declined some interventions and doctors/nurses respected my decision… and most importantly, I was given the max amount of time to give my body a chance to birth naturally as I had planned.A natural birth was what I desired but it wasn’t in the cards. I hadn’t even looked into what the procedure would be like or processed how I felt about having a C-section. Dr. Raven kindly took the time to walk me through the process and explain why this was the next step. I surrendered to my birthing journey trusting his knowledge and convinced I was in good hands. My C-section went smooth. A small incision that is healing rapidly. I was able to stand and move within 24hrs of the procedure. I was shocked of how well my body was handling the recovery!Though my delivery was far from what I thought it would be, I am grateful to the nurses, doctors, hospital for allowing me to try without rushing me. I’m grateful for the nurses that cared for me as I came out of surgery and ensured that my baby and I have skin to skin contact and started the breastfeeding process. The support was consistent through each stage building my confidence as a new mom!
I had a great experience with the best doctor a woman can have when it’s time to deliver the baby. Dr. Steven Ravins was there for both of my pregnancies and he made my hospital experience the best part of the pregnancy. He was very caring and supportive and he makes sure you are comfortable the entire time. The doctors in the office are amazing and very professional. My doctor throughout my entire pregnancy was Edward Olkowski and in every visit he was great, caring, and clear. If you want to have a great pregnancy and delivery of your baby, I will definitely recommend these doctors.
Had a great experience delivering my second baby with Dr.Ravins, thank you for doing an excellent job.Thank you Dr.olkoswki for taking care of me and the baby in our prenatals visits.
Coming in I Honestly had huge concerns as I have a fear of doctors and this was also my first baby! However this hospital and staff completely changed how I feel. I was so well taken care of by Dr Ravins, Dr Khan and staff! I had a lot of questions as I have never been operated on and never had anesthesia before! The staff answered every question I had, and even answered the same questions twice because I was very skeptical! The C-Section was an amazing experience and I honestly would not want anyone else to deliver any upcoming children that I may have in the future! The internet has such a horrible views on C-Sections and I just thank God that I came to South Nassau Mount Sinai!! I cannot express the gratitude that I have and the level of Care that was ministered to me!
My experience here was amazing. The nurses and staff were very helpful, very patient, and Resilient. My first child was a breach baby seven years ago so I really wanted to experience a natural delivery. The team here made it so possible that I was able to deliver a safe and healthy 6 pound baby vaginally. They took their time and walked me through each step. The doctors, nurses and even the medical students were all great and I dont know how many times I can say thank you.
I loved working with Dr.Ravins and Dr.Olkowski. I was a bit nervous at first because I last told my baby was underweight and Dr. Ravins suggested me being induced at 38 1/2 weeks. I am so glad I trusted him and went with his guidance. My delivery couldn’t have been smoother. I was able to deliver naturally. My postpartum recovery has also been amazing. I highly recommend him and his team.
Highly recommend Dr. Ravins! He turned a scary birthing situation into a healthy and safe delivery for me and my child. His suggestion of a vacuum assisted delivery during an urgent situation was the right decision and I am grateful that he was my delivery doctor!
