Dr. Ramirez

Meet 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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rechter for over 30 years. In that time she has been a caring and accessible doctor. She is very thorough and will keep searching for a solution to any issues you have, she listens to you and works to resolve issues. She will recommend other specialists as appropriate and follows up on any recommendation by them. I have received calls from her about test results before the specialist ordering them. I would highly recommend Dr. Rechter.

Excellent physician who really cares about the needs of his patients. My husband and I have had need of medical advice after regular office hours and Dr. Ramirez has never failed to respond promptly with prescriptions or directions to deal with the illness immediately to avoid complications waiting could bring. He treats us as a couple who are deeply involved in each others care and respects that unity. Highly appreciate his knowledge and compassion.

Thank you for saving life!

from Dennis in MD • March 17, 2024

When I signed up with Dr Ramirez, he did a blood test and added on a PSA test. My PSA had always been low and I skipped last year. The PSA came back high and I was diagnosed with highly aggressive prostate cancer that had spread. I've undergone oncology treatment and I hate to think where I and my family would have been now had he not caught the rising PSA. Thank you for being there for us Dr. Read more...

Dr. Ramirez has seen me through 1 side tumor surgery and 3 brain tumor surgeries in the 2-3 years I’ve been seeing him. After my side tumor surgery the surgeon did not give me enough pills to get through the weekend for pain. My mom called Dr. Ramirez on a Saturday and he fought my insurance to give me more pills. I felt horrible for taking time out of his weekend to help me get meds but I was so Read more...

from Randy in MD • March 9, 2024
My internist is one of the most organized, caring, and knowledgeable physicians that I have known during my own 40+ year medical career. He is a bit of a serious fellow at times that he undoubtedly inherited from his father, who I worked with many times as I started my medical career in 1983. I nicknamed his father "Smiley" as it was always a delight to drag a smile or chuckle from him Read more...
