About Dr. Paul Panavelil
Most people have fond memories of the caring treatment they received from their family doctor as they were growing up. From broken bones to routine checkups, their doctor was always there when they needed medical attention.
I completed my medical education at K.M.C.T. Medical College, earning a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery. I trained in Internal Medicine at Prince George's Hospital Center and at Howard University Hospital-where I also specialized in Infectious Disease. Southern Maryland Medical Group is committed to combining old-fashioned skill and care with modern knowledge and technology.

When a patient is seeking medical assistance and he refuse to take the initiative to see what’s going on and say there’s nothing wrong. It time to seek medical treatment elsewhere. I requested blood work to see if I’m having any issues with my organs.

He's always straight upfront with you . He's the kind of doctor that's very informative and explains your diagnosis in lament terms. I really like his expertise and would recommend him to people in need of a doctor.
September 5, 2017Stephanie L.Verified patient
He is a very caring doctor on the way in to the examination room he spotted a women who's bandage was coming off he attempted to fix it and asked a nurse to replace it the moment it wouldn't stay on. The compassion he expressed in such a short time is why I think he is a fantastic Doctor.
