About

Brian Ratzel, MD here and delighted to announce that I am the new Medical Director for Divine Laser & Anti-Aging Med Spa in Ormond Beach and am truly excited to work with my colleagues in this health boosting facility. My own journey starts in New York City where I was born and lived in until I graduated college at Columbia University in 1984. Thereafter I migrated only a short way eastward to Long Island where I spent the next 20 years going to medical school at SUNY at Stony Brook, doing my residency in Emergency Medicine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and then starting my career at North Shore University Hospital. Thereafter my career has led me to administrative and clinical positions in emergency departments in Georgia, then western Florida and finally the east coast of Florida. I am very proud of my wife and the work she does as a physical therapist, and my two sons who are both married and in the workforce. Family and well-being are essential to me and my lifestyle, thereby this new endeavor at Divine Laser is “just what the doctor ordered”.
