About Peter P. Ramirez, MD
After many years of practicing internal medicine and treating chronic illness, it has become clear that trying to prevent disease before it occurs or diagnosing significant problems early and preventing progression are key components of good health. I have become a proponent of better living by promoting dietary changes and exercise, and I partner with my patients to develop a plan that fits their individual needs.
The MDVIP practice model gives me more time to investigate and the tools to screen for and help uncover many silent illnesses, that if found early, can be dealt with effectively and truly make a difference. The comprehensive, annual MDVIP Wellness Program includes advanced screenings focused on key areas, such as heart health, bone health, sleep, stress, nutrition and respiratory issues. As my patients' personal doctor, I encourage very open and casual relationships and am available 24 hours a day by cell phone for urgent needs. My patients also have their own website to communicate with me securely and confidentially by email, and I can send copies of test results and reports. This type of relationship with attention to detail, open communication, understanding and continuity is what I aim to deliver to each patient in my primary care practice on a daily basis. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.
My practice is located in Glen Burnie, Maryland and serves patients from the entire Baltimore-Annapolis corridor and surrounding areas, including Severna Park and Millersville. I am affiliated with the Baltimore Washington Medical Center, which is part of the University of Maryland Medical System. My specialized interests include adult medicine, preventive medicine and wellness, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, hypertension and internal medicine. If you would like to learn more about my personalized healthcare practice and the MDVIP Wellness Program, please make a complimentary appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.
Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.
MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
