Internists - Dumfries, VA

"Not impressed with Dr. Ramilo at all! I've been having many issues, many of which are symptoms of Lyme's, RA, Lupus, etc. Iwas getting nowhere with my family doctor, but he did give me a referal. I did not get to see Dr. Soni, who had great reviews on Lyme's websites. Dr. Ramilo finallycame in the room 25 minutes late. I had been there for 30 minutes to fill out paperwork prior to the appointment. He asked what he could do, I explained my situation and that I understood the Lyme's tests are frequently not accurate. He asked if I had been tested, I told him yes, several times all negative. He asked me , "What do you want me to do?". I gave him a list of my symptoms, which he barely glanced at and told me he'd do bloodwork and refer me to a Rheumatologist if he didn't find anything and to call back on Tuesday for results. He never got within 4-5 feet of me or looked at the skin ulcers covering my legs. I called back on Tuesday and was told the MRSA was negative. I asked if he had written a referal, he had not. Never heard back from them. Called on Friday and left a message asking for the referal. Finally got it. I would certainly not reccomend Dr. Ramilo. He did not seem remotely interested in helping me at all!"

"Active listener, focused on the patient, and always available and thorough."
