Ronald E. Thomas, MD

Very unprofessional director told me I was waisting her intelligence buy asking her a question about a bill. Best way to describe is jiffy lube of medicine in and out in 3 hours. If I could make it 0 I would

The Doctors Office called on Friday at 4:45 and left a message requesting I call the office because my blood work had returned from the lab with abnormalities... I called, no answer. I called back on Saturday, no office hours. I called back on Monday, and was told my group was not in until 1:30. I called back at 1:45, and was told that they were busy seeing patients. If I gave this level of service, I would be out of business.

MDVIP is a way to prey on those folks like my mother on convincing them that they’re getting better care if they pay a premium. Sadly that is not the case as evidenced by the “care” my mother received prior to going to the hospital and ultimately being with the Lord. There is also a disconnect between this office and MDVIP because she received an invoice for her next quarterly payment and she’s been gone for two months. Extremely frustrating and painful as this served as a reminder of my mom’s passing.

Dr. Thomas is a thorough, compassionate, caring and very personable doctor. His medical skills and people skills set the bar for other physicians to follow!

Dr Thomas is such a good physician and genuine people person. I've been seeing him a total of 20 years and the last 6 have been with MDVIP. I am always seen promptly, I don't have to wait 2 or 3 days for a return call. Thanks to his fitness plan. I have lost 45 lbs in just 6 months. I highly recommend him. His staff is full of All Stars also. Very courteous and good communicators

I have been a patient of Dr Thomas for a long time. I am extremely satisfied with him. I plan on remaining his patient for a long time.

Sometimes you have to wait in a doctor's office. Knowing this going in makes it easier for me to "wait" perhaps the persons ahead of me are having really difficult/serious medical problems Maybe there was a medical emergency with a patient and they need more doc time. I know when I needed more time, I was given more time, and I appreciated that. Going to the doctor is never fun. I like my doc and while the new office is further away, I will take that ride up 95.

I had Dr Kim today(3-8_18) Dr A didn't show up she is one of the worst doctors ever,next time I'm walking

I absolutely love Dr. Thomas. He is knowledgeable, with a great bedside manner. In fact, he can't retire until I die!

I have been with Dr Ronald Thomas since before the 2000's when he was originally at Singer Square, now Chadwell Animal Hospital. This man I could tell everything to and he listened and he saved my life 2x finding things I would never known of without his knowledge and imaging requests to get answers. Highly recommend. Worth the money and Best Dr I ever had!

My last annual review was very informative. Dr. Thomas takes time to discuss each aspect in detail explaining the whats and whys of each segment. In addition, I feel very comfortable talking to him about any health issues I may have.

I had seen a PA at this new office who told me I needed like 5 labs to get one thing tested. I knew this because they only tested that one thing in the past with a different doctor. Next I see a doctor who is very helpful with a great bedside manner. He says he will find out if a med is covered by my insurance and never calls. I just tried calling three times to leave a message to be asked to hold each time with an average of 10 minutes before I had to hang up. Get the staff to cover your office if you are that busy!

While I have no complaints with my doctor, the office itself is a nightmare. I have called for four days straight trying to get results of a nerve test I had done. It took three days (and lots of passing the buck) for someone to finally call and say they haven't received the results yet. It isn't even my doctor returning the call so the fact it took that long is ridiculous. I had the test Monday. I am still waiting. No one can give me a direct answer as to have they received the results or not. I didn't realize it was so hard to check a fax machine.

I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas's for 15+ years. He is a kind man who really listens and keeps up with the latest in medicine and doesn't scold his patients if they're doing things that are considered unhealthy. He understands that we're all different and is there to be your doctor not your conscience. That's the best kind of physician, the kind who treats what ails you without sounding omnipotent. I have begged him never to retire because I'll never find a better fit for me. I look forward to seeing him every three months for as long as he'll have me as a patient.

FACT: Doctor's try to stay on schedule but sometimes something serious is going on with a patient that cannot be predicted until that person is seen. I'm sure they would take longer with you if necessary too.
FACT: Most physician's offices charge for late and missed appointments. If you are going to miss your appointment call their office ASAP. It's rude to miss an appointment without calling. And you SHOULD be charged if you come in late and have to reschedule. You're infringing on some other patient's time at that point.
FACT: Most offices charge for copy of records. That takes time to do.
FACT: By LAW if you are on certain meds you need to be seen regularly to monitor them. That means a quick physical and monitoring blood work. You complainers would probably be the first to sue if your doctor gave you meds and something went wrong because they didn't see you for follow-ups.
FACT: Front desks in all professions can get hectic and people can get stressed out. They reception does their best but sometimes it gets crazy. Have some patience. Are you perfect? NO ONE IS.

I have been going to this group for almost 30 years and have never had any problems with them that would make me leave.

Watch out. This practice has recently moved, and seems to be in financial difficulties. An angry office manager type used to present everyone at the former location with a long form we "had" to sign, of punishments for missing or being late for appointments. After the move, she made the punishments more severe! I stood directly to the left in February 2017 as she shouted the entire long page of text of these strictures to an elderly man perhaps in his eighties. I don't know why she did such a thing, but this place is going to be up on charges of elder abuse if they go on like that, and I would gladly testify. The three doctors I know about there are of advanced age and one cannot speak English. Two I saw were an hour late each: apparently the 20-minutes-late-and-you're-out rule applies only to their customers, not to the docs. I suggest people avoid this practice, Medical Health Group at 1415 Rt. 152 in the Joppa area. If you do go, avoid signing any weird forms a scowling, stout blond woman hands you.

Been going to Ronald thomas for 20 + years. Great doctor never had a problem.

5 Stars...What else you want...

Dr. Ronald Thomas is the best!

Wonderful place Nicole (nurse) and Dr. Thomas are the best. Hands down I was so tired of dealing with people who didn’t care this guy is great.

Due to a chronic medical condition, I have interfaced with many different doctors/specialists over the last 34 years. Dr. Thomas is by far the BEST physician I have ever had. He is like having a personal friend who happens to be a great doctor! Easy going, knowledgeable, caring, the list goes on. I am very fortunate to have found Dr. Thomas, he has had such a positive influence on my mental and physical well being.

Dr. Thomas is an amazing, caring doctor. He has a very calm demeanor, a heart of gold, and truly listens and hears my concerns.

In reading the negative reviews, they are not related to Dr. Thomas, rather the larger medical office in which his office is housed. I switched to MDVIP when Dr. Thomas switched because his private practice within the larger facility is so much more user friendly.

I have been seeing Dr. Thomas since I moved from California to Maryland in my mid 20s. I am now 49 years old, and he is still kind, nonjudgmental, thorough, and he knows ME as a patient. Yes, he has been difficult to get an appointment with, but I think that speaks to his incredible gift as a physician. There have also been long wait times; I also work in healthcare, and thorough and accurate appointments and records require a longer wait than normal. Since Dr. Thomas joined MDVIP, and I remained "on" as a patient, my wait is minimal, and the communication is stellar. Yes, I do pay yearly for that service, but it is well worth it to have such an intimate professional relationship with my doctor. We all want good doctors, but we in turn need to be good patients, following recommendations and suggestions that they give us. Finally, I see lots of low scores being given for long wait times and less than desirable attitudes from office staff. If this is a review for Dr. Thomas himself, those things should not be a factor. 5 stars for Dr. Thomas!

Very rude unfriendly staff.

I came to Dr. Thomas during the height of Covid when most physician offices were not seeing patients in person. I was experiencing multiple health issues and Dr Thomas welcomed me into his practice and treated me IN PERSON. His approach to medical care is sound and he is willing to work with his patients to support his patients goals for medical treatment not to control their medical care. I am equally as impressed with his staff who are professional and compassionate. I have enrolled my spouse as a patient of Dr Thomas as a result!

Dr. Ronald Thomas has been the most caring , compassionate and very knowledgeable about the daily health concerns that patients have when they are seen at his office. I have been going to Dr. Thomas for the past 20 years and enjoy having conversations with each time I visit at his office or he visits me at my house.

Been going here for years and every time I have an appt I'm not seen for an hour and a half later. Have missed work time and been late to work because of them.

The fact that this practice terminated a long time employee with breast cancer should say it all! ...Dr. Constantly wanting to schedule follow ups, and does nothing at the appointments. (Since my review, they have terminated me and my husband from their practice!) They also didn't like the fact that I called out the physicians for post dating prescriptions which is illegal

Dr. Thomas has been my primary Doctor for 33 years and he's been a great doctor. with great bedside manners. at my age most of my friends have their primary doctor, but if anyone needed one I'd recommend my doctor.

I am most likely Dr. Ron Thomas' longest continuous patient. Dr. Ron was a leading Calvert County graduate who went to medical school and actually returned to this " country" county and set up a private practice. I came to the county in 1972 with my wife and soon became a patient of Dr. Ron's. We became personal friends with him and his lovely wife and then his two sons.

My son and I still drive two hours once a year for annual physicals and more often as necessary. He is not only a superior physician, but a genuinely fine person and a very long standing friend.

This practice is what healthcare should be like. Dr. Thomas is interested in patient health, wellness and preventative care! He takes the time to explain and discuss health issues. He is receptive to questions and considering alternatives in care. The MDVIP program means he gets to spend more than 10minutes with each patient. If you want a physician that is more than just a pill dispenser, this is the practitioner for you.

Dr. Thomas is one of the best doctors that I have been to. The only reason that I joined MDVIP is because I did not want to lose Dr. Thomas. I would recommend him to anyone.

Very caring doctor, whom we can trust and count on always !!! Definitely the best!!! So grateful!!!

Hello, I am Dr. TDK I am a patient of Joshua Liu-PA-C. I was seen by him for pain to my right elbow and was referred to a pain management. However, it was over two weeks to have the referrals complete. Neededless to say, I was given a prescription which led me to request prior authorization. I presented to the office at 9am the following morning and was made aware that my paperwork would be faxed over. I contacted my insurance company and was made aware that the paperwork was not submitted. I do believe I called the office 2-3 timed to follow up on status. I requested to speak with the office manager to check the status.

My last call to the office, the office manager made me aware that my pain was not an emergency, for me to shut my mouth and listen, she threathen to discharge me as a patient if I continued to call to check on my paperwork, she stated she spoke with Mr. Liu and he informed her that he was too busy to sign my form and that I was not experiencing an emergency, she also stated she does not know why I am getting the medication and that there is no documentation of why I need the pain medicine and throughtout the conversation she was extremely judgmental, informed me that she was recording my call and hung up the phone on me.

I have been in the healthcare field for over 20 years, I am an APRN with a DNP.I explained to her my clinical background and that I have never experienced a delay in care or lack of emphaty from a health care facility.

The treatment that I received from her was unwarranted. She did state that I was raising my voice, I explained to her that I was in pain and that I was not recieving direct answers and that I was not pleased with my treatment. She said that I was being a bully to the staff members and herself. I informend her that I have been a patient for over 5 years and this is not how I am normally treated.

I beleive that the office is intentionally mistreating me as a patient and not attempting to assist me to resolve my pain issue.

I do want to file a formal compliant in reference to the delay in care and the treatment by the director.

They DISCHARGED ME ..

Poor team

I have been going to these doctors for several years. No they are not perfect! But they are normally compassionate and they listen. Medical care is not easy on any level

I have always recieved excellent care from Dr. Ronald Thomas. If and when I should call for medical advice or care. He will get back to me in a short time that same day, He is there for me on my sheduled visits to answer any questions I may be concerned about,I feel very fortunate to be with MDVIP.

Dr Scott Thomas is an excellent todoctor.
I was diagnosed with ent me Parkinson’s Jan 2022. Before I was diagnosed Dr Thomas sent me to therapy for which I am grateful.

Terrible. My doctor left the practice with no notification They do not return calls are impossible to get InTouch with. I went to an appointment and they would not see me. Do not go here if your concerned with your health cause they are not.

I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas for a very long time. He is the best doctor. He is very knowledgeable and has a great understanding of all the medical issues that are affecting me. He listens to me and then works to find an answer that is vey helpful and the best response for me. I am very grateful to have found such a wonderful and caring doctor. When he retires he will be hard to replace because he works so very hard to keep my health plan on the right track. He also has such a great bedside manner. We have had a long time being doctor and patient that he will be very hard to replace.

Front desk is atrocious, well one person in particular!!!! This girl was combative and condensing, with the maturity to match. There was no sense of care in her demeanor but a sense of entitled arrogance.

Each and every person that walks through that door is in need of a doctor. With that said there should be more care and understanding when interacting with the customer. Debating with the customer is absolutely inexcusable.

Aa for the doctors and nurses, they are amazing!!! Too bad the first encounter leaves a bad image of MHG.

Front desk is in desperate need of training and spot checkers to rate them appropriately. Maybe then they will be respectful and mature.

Dr Thomas is professional and caring. He has been my primary physician for many years. I highly recommend him! I have chronic conditions and since I have been his patient, I have not needed hospitalization for those illnesses. It is easy to get appointments with him and if necessary the same day. The wait is minimal compared to other physicians. To me, being part of the MDVIP family is worth it! This is the way medicine should be practiced!

Dr. Ronald Thomas is a gentle, understanding and professional man. Always listens to your medical complaints and figures it out! Love this guy! Basically, the best PCP I have ever had!!! And my husband's PCP passed away so he is now a patient of MD VIP & Dr. Thomas as well!!

Dr Thomas has been great to deal with. Both he and Nicole have exceeded my expectations regarding what i wanted from the MDViP program
