I can't shake off how selfish this doctor is, I went in for a consultation on a chronic illness that I have he had great reviews and I was feeling optimistic... The consultation started off bad, he was mad at me because he is the 3rd doctor I have gone to for advice. I understand how that can be annoying but I explained why. My first doctor said she didn't know how to help me because my body wasn't responding well to medication, so I went elsewhere. My second doctor was also unsure of how to help me and basically told me I just need to take that medication even if it isn't working well and I felt stuck and confused. I needed more advice and to find a doctor who can help me. He seemed bothered and didn't think my situation was that bad until he read my surgery notes, but he still treated me like I was a bother to him... My problem with him was that he asked me if I planned to have children (a common question to ask as a gyno doctor, it was his response that bothered me), I said no and he got very defensive and disagrees with my decision.. I think he was only thinking about himself and his business when he asked that question... He said that I was young and gave me a scenario "if you had a partner and he told you, have a baby with me or we will have to split up what would you choose" I was mad when he asked me that and I gave him the answer he didn't want... He then proceeded to tell me that if I didn't want kids maybe I should just remove my uterus and that would fix my illness. When he finished his sentence he had this smirk on his face. He felt so proud of his little "comeback."... Removing my uterus is a big deal and having another surgery isn't what I want also removing it comes with other complications that he sure as hell knows... To belittle a woman for not wanting kids is CRAZY! Even if you disagree, keep it to yourself. Let me also say, I never lost my cool during this entire thing, I was being polite because I really wanted help... He snapped at me for simply having a different opinion than him when it comes to having children. I actually regret not defending myself or educating him on people having different opinions... No doctor should ever belittle you for saying that and should never try to change your mind... The rudest part is that people with my illness struggle to get pregnant so why would he even be so opinionated 🙄 Speaking to this man was such a waste of time... The women that work there were very polite to me though I appreciate them. Other than that I don't want this doctor to help me, I find him to be a disrespectful man without morals...

Dr Ramirez is the BEST! He's been my doctor for over 20 years. He's knowledgeable and addresses any and all concerns I have with my health. He spends quality time with me and I always leave my check-ups and check-ins knowing that I am in good hands. The office team is also INCREDIBLE! Would highly recommend Dr. Ramirez!

I just want to say first off, the staff was amazing, they all had great service. Dr. Ramirez was great too! However, what made him stand out from all the other doctors I have seen, was his ability to be direct yet sympathetic towards you. He was very informative and so committed to his work. He gave me a sense of hope, I was able to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I left feeling emotional because I had finally found a doctor who was going to help me start a family. God blessed Dr. Ramirez and his team! In such a time of despair they continue to give hope and I am very thankful.

We have been a patient of Dr. Ramirez for about nine years. He and his staff are kind, supportive, and dedicated to all of their patients. We have worked with Dr. Ramirez through nearly every phase and type of infertility treatments... all the time, he never gave up hope on us. Their office is very supportive for anyone going through infertility and I would strong encourage anyone struggling with similar concerns work with them. We couldn’t be happier with his care and treatment plans. He also stays current with new fertility treatments and research. His office is pretty much self contained so most services can be done onsite making it easier for patients.
