Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

De. Ramos has been excellent with the care of our son. He has had two surgeries. Both have been very successful. We had taken our son to the hospital ER and his diagnosis went unseen. Thank you Dr. Ramos for everything.

Dr Ramos Irizarry performed 3 major surgeries on my infant son saving his life. Her and her team were amazing and you can tell they love what they do. They took my son in to emergency surgery on a Friday night because she could not go home without finding the problem- thank God she did, it saved his life. Because of her, my son is alive and well today. She was a blessing!

Sometimes for lack of time we don't left a review for a doctor, without analyzing that with our post we can help other parents to choose the best option for their children. Doctor Ramos is a perfectionist in her work, she is an example of discipline and perseverance, communicates well with parents and she has full knowledge of her profession. She is very kind and loving with children and she has excellent bedside manners. She is a wonderful professional. I highly recommend her.
