That was over a year ago and my husband is doing ok. Still needs a good infectious disease doctor, but I have the feeling that is a rare thing.

Unfortunately, Dr. Ratnasamy and I didn't meet under the best of circumstances. My wife and I were…read morewrapping up a 30 day "vacation?", from our home in Arizona. It had been stressful to say the least. Most of our time had been spent in the rental car driving to see family from Columbus to Springfield to New Hampshire. By the last week I was drained. For the past 3+ years I have been fighting what had only in the last 3 months been diagnosed as "Valley Fever". It is a fungal infection common to the desert and areas of California. Doctors in our home area of Arizona, who should have been familiar with the symptoms, failed to correctly identify the problem. My wife, recognizing the fact that I was in no shape to go on, parked my butt in the emergency room at Blanchard Valley. The people there were great even though they were unfamiliar with "Valley Fever". Dr. Grace, the admitting doctor told us that "Blanchard Valley was truly blessed to have one of the best infectious disease doctors in the country". I'm thinking, "ok, bring him on, I want to meet this guy". Later that evening Dr. Ratnasamy came into my room and I realized that the admitting doctor knew what he was talking about. I have never felt so comfortable speaking to a doctor for the first time. You could tell that, maybe he doesn't see patients everyday with "Valley Fever" but he sure knew a lot about it. He took over my treatment and I saw him 3 more times before I was discharged. Actually he was the last person I saw that day. He gave me a full set of doctors notes and test results so I could take the back for my Arizona doctors. Ok, this impressed me. What really blew me away was the phone call I got from him last night, over a week since we arrived back home and almost 2 weeks since he had seen me in the hospital in Findlay. How many doctors would take the time to follow up on a patient that chances are they would never see again? Most around here don't even if they are your primary care doctor. Dr Ratnasamy said he was just closing out my file and wanted to check on how I was doing and what my local doctors had said. In my opinion, that's dedication. Dedication to what he does and who he does it for. The world needs more people like him.

I really liked Dr. Huffman when she saw my daughter for RSV. She made me feel like we were her only…read morepatient that day; she was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable and comforting. BUT, 24 hours later our pharmacy still hasn't received the prescription she was going to write for us. I called the office several times and was given the impression that's common for her - that she writes all scripts at the end of the day or beginning of her next day. I totally understand she's busy during peak viral seasons but 24 hours going by when treatment could have started is a long time. One more day of discomfort and another sleepless night. Lesson learned that you'll need to keep on their office to get prescriptions filled.
