I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Ramaswamy at MDVIP. Her unwavering dedication to me as her patient is truly remarkable and I feel she does care about my wellbeing. Dr. Ramaswamy possesses a rare combination of empathy and authenticity that sets her apart. She approaches each interaction with sincerity and warmth. She has a knack for calming your emotions without downplaying the seriousness… See more
What I love about Dr Ramaswamy is her calm demeanor. I am a stressor and she always knows how to help - no matter the issue. I am very comfortable discussing my health issues with her. If the health issue needs diagnostic tests, and in need of a specialist for further diagnoses and treatment, she stays involved.
Dr. Ramaswamy is an extremely keen and patient listener. So often in any field, the person one has engaged to help you solve a problem listens briefly, makes a quick judgement, dismisses the rest of the conversation and takes over the telling! It's so common and predictable. First comes the body language; the head nodding (I understand); then the antsy body language (hurry up I know… See more
Dr. Ramaswamy, I will be forever grateful for the care you gave me during the month of December when my leg became infected after my Mohs Surgery. You made time in your schedule almost EVERY day in December to care for my infection!! You took phone calls from me on nights and weekends when I needed your advice of what to do next. I was so frightened and worried about the infection and each… See more
Dr. Ramaswamy is always there for me and very promptly! When I came down with COVID and had plans for a big trip, she and I talked on the phone numerous times within a few days. Her guidance was so reassuring.
Whenever, I feel sick or have a problem, she's there for me and office time is always readily available.
She is also very thorough in her assessments and I feel… See more
My story is that Dr. Ramaswamy is a wonderful doctor who really cares about my health care needs. She also really listens to what I have to say. Sometimes she will "get after me," which in my case is a good thing. I couldn't ask for a better doctor and I'm glad to have her as mine.
My husband has been a patient of Dr. Ramaswamy since she joined the Fairfax practice. His prior MDVIP physician had recently retired and her replacement left the practice within a few months of joining it. Thus, many changes. My husband and I accompany each other to medical appointments, so I have personally witnessed how Dr. Ramasawamy relates to her patients. First, she listens… See more
I am especially grateful to my MDVIP internist, Dr. Shreelakshmi Ramaswamy,
for the concern, sound advice, and support given me during the past year.
A heart event and its following anxiety experiences required new medications
and a new doctor, both tasks assisted by Dr. Ramaswamy. In addition, routine
office visits continued and my general health was well attended to… See more
Three times last year, Dr Ramaswamy showed me that she is truly an advocate for her patients. Twice last year I traveled to Europe.
The first time I fell and broke my nose in Ireland. When I came home I was congested and went to see her. She would not let me leave until her staff had scheduled X-rays that day for my head and face and made an appointment for me with an ENT. The second… See more
During the relatively short time that Dr. Ramaswami has been my physician, I have experienced what I believe
to be a "real" physician. She asks the right questions, is thorough and deliberate in her answers, and is always
kind and understanding in her methods. She makes you feel important. She obviously cares for you as a
person--a well as a patient. Her depth of… See more
