Birth control is more than a method to prevent pregnancy — it’s a critical part of your reproductive autonomy and overall health. At Raveco Medical, we approach contraception as a deeply personal decision, helping you choose a method that aligns with your lifestyle, medical history, and future family plans. Whether you're starting birth control for the first time or exploring new options, our expert OB/GYNs provide thorough guidance and compassionate care every step of the way.
Your birth control consultation starts with a one-on-one conversation with one of our OB/GYNs. We’ll review your health history, menstrual cycle, and any concerns or preferences you have — including interest in long-term, short-term, or emergency contraception.
Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
We’ll explain how each method works, possible side effects, and how to use them correctly. If you choose an IUD or implant, we can often insert it during the same visit.
Our team understands that every woman’s health and life stage is unique. That’s why we treat birth control as a collaborative decision, not a prescription to be handed out in a rush. You’ll receive individualized care in a warm, judgment-free environment. And because we’re open seven days a week, it’s easy to fit appointments into your busy life.

We tailor every treatment plan to your specific needs, goals, and medical history. Our expert OB/GYNs take a comprehensive and minimally invasive approach whenever possible to ensure safety, comfort, and results that last.
Depending on your condition, care may include diagnostics, imaging, treatment procedures, post-care support, and regular follow-up visits — all in one trusted place.
With decades of experience and a deep connection to the communities we serve, Raveco goes beyond routine care to deliver an experience that’s trusted, modern, and truly supportive.
Proudly serving Queens with continuity of care across generations.
A women-led practice that truly understands and advocates for women’s health.
We speak your language — culturally sensitive care for all backgrounds.

I cannot recommend Raveco Medical enough! Throughout my high-risk pregnancy, Dr. Steven Ravins, Dr. Claudia Ravins, and Nicole Boucicaut, PA, were an incredible team who supported me every step of the way.

It was a great sperience. Dr Raving was a super supportive doctor and professional.
I recently have a baby and I have to do the Epidural because of the size. Now he is in perfect condition and myself.

Oh my lord, my delivery was so CRAZY but thank God for the epidural because there are some things that just can’t be done without assistance. No matter how tough you think you are. Ladies PLEASE DONT LISTEN to anybody not planning on walking in your shoes or anyone who hasn’t already. If you want that epidural GET IT !!!

Dr. Ravins and the team at Raveco Medical provided exceptional care throughout my pregnancy and labor. From the start, they were attentive, kind, and professional, always taking the time to address my concerns and make me feel confident and informed. When it came time for labor, Dr. Ravins and his team were incredible at the hospital, ensuring I was comfortable and calm.

Amazing experience having Dr. R as my Doctor. He did my C section. From the moment I met him before my procedure, I felt comfortable and confident. He was all about making me comfortable, listening and answering questions, along with reassuring regarding all my concerns. He has a great personality like you’ve known him forever and just that was very welcoming.
Dr Ravins is such an incredible and awesome surgeon. My C section went so smoothly that I barely had pain afterwards. I was up walking, taking care of my baby the next day. Staff members, anesthesiologists, nurses were so professional, carrying.
The care provided at Raveco Medical is definitely the treatment every pregnant woman deserves. I will never forget my first prenatal appointment with Dr. Steven Ravins, after he became aware that I was above advance maternal age his exact words were "we are going to take care of you" and that's what Dr. Ravins and Dr. Olkowski did.

This was an amazing hospital the nurse was very attentive, the whole team was supportive and knowledgeable. They walked me through my whole experience and supported me throughout my labor experience. I would encourage to do the epidural if you are in extreme pain because Dr.Khan was phenomenal and walked me through everything.

Dr. Ravins helped me and my partner during the whole process of delivering my baby and he offered me the epidural. It was amazing I felt no pain and I recommend you get the epidural to make the delivery much easier.

My c section was everything I had hoped for and more. Dr. Ravins was highly recommended by my OB/GYN when I became aware that I would potentially be getting a c section. Dr. Ravins came in before the surgery and was very thorough with my husband and I, to alleviate any concerns and explain the procedure.

I want to tell you all that Dr. Ravins is an amazing doctor! He and his team were incredible! They provided me with tremendous encouragement. I completed the entire labor in just 30 minutes, using the breathing techniques he taught me and pushing in the right way.

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 couldn't 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.

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.

There are a number of birth control options today, depending on your habits and preferences. Some are more effective, convenient, and comfortable than others. It’s a highly personal decision, as there are so many factors to consider. The major types include:
These types of contraception prevent the sperm from meeting the egg, including condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps.
These types of contraception alter your hormones to prevent ovulation, including the pill, NuvaRing®, patch, and Depo-Provera® injections. Nexplanon® is a hormonal implant placed in the upper arm.
IUDs change your cervical mucus or repel the sperm to make pregnancy unlikely to occur. Raveco Medical offers hormonal IUDs, like Mirena® and Skla®, and copper IUDs, likeParaGard®.
Natural methods of contraception, such as cervical mucus monitoring, have you avoid having intercourse on your most fertile days.
Permanent solutions to pregnancy are also available. Male vasectomy and female tubal ligation are options, but you must be sure your family is complete.
Methods such as the IUD and implants can be among the most reliable because they’re inserted into your body and do their job of preventing pregnancy without any extra work from you. These methods offer protection for 3-10 years, depending on the form.
Other forms are often less effective due to user error. For example, if you use birth control pills, you must remember to take a pill every day. Or, if you choose Depo-Provera injections, you need to schedule regular visits to your provider.
Male and female condoms are the only form of birth control that protect you from STDs. However, their reliability in preventing pregnancy is not as effective as other methods.
If you are concerned about STDs and want to prevent pregnancy, it may be a better choice to use a condom every time you have sexual intercourse and use a more proven birth control method, such as the pill, as well.
Your decision about birth control depends on your lifestyle, your medical history, and your partner (or partners.) Ask yourself the following questions to help you make your decision:
The most important questions pertain to your own reliability: Can you count on yourself to take a pill every day? Are you willing to insert or apply birth control every time you have intercourse?
Also keep in mind convenience, your partner’s comfort, your number of partners, and your lifestyle. Your provider reviews these questions and others with you when helping you make a decision.
To help you decide on birth control and get protected, call Raveco Medical, or book an appointment using the online scheduler.
