They will start sending multiple reminders about two weeks before your appointment but stop the day before. They will continue no matter how many times you confirm the appointment. After your appointment it takes a week or so before they start spamming you for payment. You will receive a reminder to pay the bill every other day until they receive payment. Between that and having to make appointments for refills or just getting bloodwork orders I'm thinking of trying to find a new pcp

1 star. If I could give zero stars I would…read more I have been trying since January 2026 to get a single referral from Dr. Ramakrishnan's office at First Medical Associates to Kennedy Krieger Institute -- a world-class specialty clinic less than an hour away. It is now April. The referral has still not been done correctly. Let me tell you exactly what that looked like. The process is not complicated: the PCP submits a prior authorization form to my insurance (Maryland Physicians Care), receives an authorization number, and includes that number on the referral to Kennedy Krieger. Both my insurance and Kennedy Krieger confirmed this is routine -- they do it with this exact insurance constantly. Kennedy Krieger told me directly that they have never encountered a PCP office that could not figure this out. Here is what First Medical Associates did instead: -- Sent the first referral with the wrong codes and no authorization number. -- When I called to correct it, office staff told me they did not know how to do a prior authorization for a referral. I then spent my own time calling Kennedy Kreiger and my insurance multiple times to research the process for them. -- At the office's request, I personally wrote and emailed them a detailed, step-by-step guide. I included every CPT code, every diagnosis code, the prior auth fax number, the Kennedy Kreiger fax number, the insurance portal link, and a numbered list of every step they needed to take. I did their job for them. -- They sent the referral again. Still no authorization number. Still wrong. -- A staff member left me a voicemail stating that their office "does not do prior authorizations for referrals." This is factually incorrect and directly contradicted by both my insurer and Kennedy Kreiger. -- I forwarded my instructions again. I followed up again. I called again. I was assured it would be handled correctly this time. -- Kennedy Kreiger called me on April 3, 2026 to tell me another referral arrived -- still without an authorization number. -- When I called the office that same day, a staff member told me the referral had been "successfully sent" to Kennedy Krieger and the gastroenterologist. There is no gastroenterologist involved. I had my appendix out weeks ago -- that case is closed. They confused my active EDS referral with a completely unrelated, concluded referral from a different specialty. They also told me that in the future I should have my surgeon handle this. There is no surgeon. There has never been a surgeon involved in this referral. I have spent over five to six hours of my own time doing administrative work that is the legal and professional responsibility of this office. I have been denied access to medically necessary specialty care for three months because of their repeated, compounding errors. I am filing formal complaints with the Maryland Board of Physicians and Maryland Physicians Care, and I am filing a grievance with the Maryland Insurance Administration. If you have a straightforward medical need, maybe you will be fine here. If you are a complex patient who needs care coordination, referrals, or anyone in that office to retain basic information about your case from one phone call to the next -- find another doctor. This practice is not equipped to help you. 0/10

I had a weird skin grown on my hand and his recommendation was to use more lotion. WTF?! I need medication for ADHD. none of the other formulations have worked for me in the past, so for a whole I gave up. I recently went back and requested the same exact medication that my kids use. It works well for them. He wanted to start me off at a very low dose. I informed him that dosage was even lower than what my daughter uses, and she weighs less than a third of what I weigh. I may not be a doctor, but I do know simple, chemistry, body weight matters in regards to chemicals and medication. He refused and started me at 15 mg. My very small daughter takes 20. I don't blame him for this next part. The insurance company refused to pay for it without prior authorization, despite them having been paying for this stud for my kids for the last few years. But I do blame him for not wanting to do the prior authorization. It's a simply bloody fax. When I went back this week for my 30 day follow up, I requested to have 30 mg. He tells me it's going to require prior authorization again because he's changing the dosage and if they ask for prior authorization again, he can't do it because he doesn't have the manpower. It takes too much effort. His exact damn words. I said to him, I told you this would be a problem. I told you I wanted to start at 30 to begin with. He snapped at me and tells me if I raise my voice at him he's going to kick me out. Mind you, I wasn't yelling. But of course, a black person being upset is like yelling at a non-black person. We are always perceived as a threat. Time to find a new doctor.
