Dr. Asoka Ratnayake, MD

When Dr. Fogle retired, opted for Dr. Ratnayake. I find him knowledgeable, personable and he takes his time with the appointment. Four other family members also go to him and we all feel he does a good job.

Unexceptable Can never get u in when u r sick. His nurse always diagnosed me over the phone. Had bronchitis and called 2 c if I could get in and no appts. available or with any of the other docs in this practice His nurse told me it was just a virus and she and her kids had this 4 a month. I knew what I had so I went 2 nora immediate care and they diagnosed me with bronchitis and put me on Levaquin and a round of prednisone. Another time I had a sinus infection I called 2 c if I could get an antibiotic and she said he never prescribes meds unless u r seen. Well he can never seem 2 get u in. What irritates me the most is I had a 25 year history with my former Dr. Who retired at age 58. So this so called dr. had 25 years of history on me and could c that. The last straw with him was I have an anxiety disorder and called 2 c if he could help me. Nurse said he could do a virtual visit in 5 days. That's it 4 him and I and would never reccomend him 2 anyone...not even my dog!

Takes the time needed to answer questions and explain things. Seem very current on medical technology. Sometimes he can be too technical, and you may need to ask him to explain in "common / everyday" language.

Dr. Ratnayake takes the time to really talk to you about your life, lifestyle, general concerns, aches/pains, etc. I have never had to wait for more than a few minutes and if I would have to wait, I would know it's because he's taking the time with patients that I would want myself.

Avoid at all cost. Waited 1.5 hours and then was told it would be another 1 hours. A true joke.

This doctor misread my test results (he did not instruct me to fast) and then triggered an anxiety attack by yelling at me about, of all things, amputations! I confirmed with another, more experienced doctor that the diabetic ulcers on my ankles were being well care-for at home and healing. He tried repeatedly to send me to a wound care clinic that would have been an unnecessary expense. Instead of scaring and threatening his patients, he might want to learn to speak to them civilly first!
