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.

Office staff non-professional and confrontational.
Dr. Ramirez was a good doctor but his office staff that I spoke to was confrontational and argumentative. I was told that it was my fault that my surgery wasn't scheduled because I did not call their office and tell them that my testing was finished. She all but called me a liar stating that she had told me that in the beginning. Testing was done 3 weeks prior to this call with results sent to His office. ( Dr. Ramirez said that as soon as he received the reports that he would schedule surgery. ) All my testing results went to Dr. Ramirez since he was the ordering Physician. He needs staff that have skills in patient communication and Patient recovery . We have cancelled surgery and have reschedule it with a new ENT whose office staff is professional.

Dr. Ramirez removed a skin cancer today from my scalp and did a fabulous job. I was nervous but he and his assistants made me feel at ease.

My visit this morning 5/6/2019 was my first visit, the staff was very nice, the Doctor is exceptional in my opinion. I highly recommend Dr. Ramirez to any and all who need his expertise. The doctor removed a large blot clot in my ear and said I did not rupture the drum as I had thought after damaging with a cue tip,I will stay away from them in the future.
