“We are very excited to welcome the dynamic Ratini team to BMC Medical Group,” said Dr. Ronak Bhimani, chief medical officer of Lower Bucks Hospital. “Both provide a great blend of top- notch clinical education for our residency program and knowledge with a strong passion for providing community-based care.” They will continue to be active members of the community as they have been throughout their entire careers. Both physicians are also clinical assistant professors at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine.
In addition to her practice, Dr. Melinda Ratini has worked as a clinical editor for Harrison’s Practice of Internal Medicine with Unbound Medicine and was a consultant editor for the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians. She is a medical editor for WebMD as she has been for the past 10 years.
Both physicians earned their medical degrees from West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and completed their residencies at the Delaware Valley Medical Center. Both physicians are members of the American Osteopathic Association, American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians, and Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association.
They both serve as staff physicians at Lower Bucks Hospital. They also are on the staffs of Jefferson Bucks in Langhorne and Saint Mary’s Medical Center in Langhorne. They both have served as clinical trainers for the family practice residency program at Jefferson Bucks.
Both physicians focus on the adults with an emphasis on wellness and deal with the many aspects of their care. “We have a holistic approach to how the mind, body, and spirit connect which impacts ones’ health,” said Dr. Angelo Ratini.
“Our approach is empathetic and non-judgmental. We see ourselves as educators and empower individuals to become active decision-makers in their own care,” said Dr. Melinda Ratini.
