Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Fabulous office and staff
Dr Ravenel makes it a pleasure to need to go to the doctor. His personality is very warm and kind, and he is extremely thorough. I love drs who don't make a patient need to 'be their own advocate.' I knowDr Ravenel is looking out for me and keeping me healthy.

AMAZING DOCTOR!!
Dr. Orson Ravenell has been my doctor since January 2023 and he has ALWAYS been AMAZING! He listens to you and he ALWAYS goes above and beyond to make sure you’re good. I had a high risk pregnancy, but with Dr. Orson Ravenell, he definitely took the stress out of it. I knew with him me and my son would be good. I went 39 weeks and 2 days which was a blessing! Dr. Orson Ravenell is definitely God sent and I am forever grateful to have him as my doctor! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you want a doctor who cares and listens to you. Look no further Dr. Orson Ravenell is the doctor you need.

Unprofessional and Does Not Care
Orson Ravenell is horrible and a sad excuse for a doctor. He rushes appointments and always sounds like he is out of breath.. They added incorrect information to my chart and every visit, I told them that the information was incorrect and he would say, we have to change it, but never did. He had me nervous in my third trimester. He kept telling me that my baby was measuring small. He did not keep me in the loop with anything. He would always whisper things to the nurse, and make faces like something was wrong.I was scheduled for an induction 2 days before my due date, which I figured he scheduled because he would be at the hospital that day. So, I went to the hospital the morning of the scheduled induction. The nurse at Baptist was awesome, she did everything she needed to prepare me. Orson came and tried to break my water, which he was rough and unsuccessful. I believe that irritated him became rude. Eventually l, he came back and broke my water and that was the last time I saw him

Awesome Human Being & Doctor
I've been a patient @ Kramers Women's Care for several years. The staff has ALWAYS treated me with kindness and compassion, care. Dr. Orson Ravenell has been my Dr. the entire time. I've also been treated by his lovely wife Diana. They are AMAZING HUMAN BEINGS, and I view them more like family. The staff over the years has always been a positive experience for me. I'm very grateful for the care provided to me over the years and wouldn't even think about going anywhere else. Thanks for the consistent positivity and great care! A special thanks to both Diana and Orson Ravenell for helping me to keep this vehicle of mine running smoothly and efficiently over the years, lol. You guys are wonderful caring human beings, I have genuine love for you both! May GOD Continue to Bless you and your healing hands!

The best OBGYN doctor
Dr. Ravenell, is described as the best of the best. He takes his time with his patients and listen carefully to them and explain everything that’s going on step by step. He goes above and beyond his job with his patients and it shows that he really cares and loves his job. Also he did an outstanding job on my surgery and made me feel very comfortable when he met with me before I went in the OR because usually I’m a crybaby but by talking to him I knew everything was gonna be ok. I highly recommend him to any female who’s looking for an Obgyn.

Great Doc!
This was my first time seeing Dr. Ravenell. He is a very friendly, professional, and mindful physician. Although he was extremely busy, he was efficient and took the time to listen and offer options to me regarding plans for my future care. He didn’t rush in and out of the exam room, and he never made a question or concern seem like an inconvenience. It’s not often you find physicians like him in this day and age. Thanks, Dr. Ravenell- I’m pretty sure you’re an MVP to a lot of people!

Highly disappointed
I was referred to Dr. Ravenell by an associate. I was given an ultrasound- Dr. Ravenell examined it and assured me that he would be able to remove the 3 fibroids that was shown. I underwent a myomectomy in October 2021, performed by Dr. Ravenell, and remained in the hospital for 4 days, of which he did not visit. I began experiencing more abdominal pain post procedure than prior to. I requested an ultrasound at my follow up app. & was told by Dr. Ravenell that my assumption was right, that I did in fact still have the same three fibroids & that he must’ve “scooped half of each one.” I questioned “scooped.” He said “you know how you scoop ice cream?” Saying it all to me as if I should have been ok with the explanation of his poor performance -taking me through such a major surgery all for practice apparently. I have been unable to rest or get through the day without taking at least 3 ibuprofen 800. I sch. an app. but canceled b/c I wasn’t able to pay the $143 bal. with his staff today
