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.

Dr Ramos is a lifesaver
Dr Ramos is probably the best doctor I’ve had since getting so sick. He explains things well, in easy to understand terms. He doesn’t hesitate to reach out to his network of physician providers peers on consultation to get answers for his patients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Dr.Ramos has been my rheumatologist for 15+years and has always been a very good doctor,as has all his staff. If he wasn't available when i needed a fast appointment before my disability his PA's are also excellent.Dr. would also take the time to listen to any question,in person or by telephone and answer them honestly,....if he didn't think it was in my best interest,he told me why.But if he thought a clinical study would benefit me we would try it. I respected him when he was honest enough to tell me no..I dealt with other doctors I would never return to. When my husband needed a doctor,I took him to Dr.Ramos first and then ,on his advice,I found the right care. I thought I would have to find help caring for him but now he is looking for a job after retirement.My advice to the other unhappy reviewers..Have patience and listen.Dr.Ramos will give you the best care he can with a smile even on a bad day.

Only had one appointment with him and he told me my condition wasnt bad after 15 minutes of seeing me. He touched my trigger points and hurt me and when i messaged him to see if i can get more exercises for home he told me hed have to schedule an appointment to see me then he could give me them. my doctor had a question for him and he was not helpful at all and didnt try to answer his question. getting a new doctor as i type!

Dr Ramos is my Rheumatologist and has gone above and beyond to get me feeling better. I have been with him for about 12 years and would never even consider leaving him. He is caring and compassionate and listens to what your saying ( I don't feel that all doctors really listen as well as they could). I have recommended him to family and friends and will continue to do so.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ramos?
Initially I would have said he was my favorite Dr but his attention waned. he was leaving things to his PA and not participating in my care. The last straw was the prescribing of a medication without checking my chart to see it conflicted with another. Flippant remarks and inattentiveness was the norm in the end.
