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.

Don't take the chance
I saw Dr Ramirez because I had shortness of breath and cough that did not go away after being treated for an infection. When my chest xray after treatment came up normal, I told my doctor that I was still not better and needed to seek additional care. I was desperate to find out what was wrong with me. I went to Dr. Ramirez and he dismissed everything I was telling him. He said that "nothing was wrong with me, that my biggest problem is that I'm overweight." I am 5'2 150 lbs. He further claimed that I did not try on a breath test that his assistant administered. I told him to give me the test again and he refused. Fastforward to 9 months later and I ended up in the hospital with a blood clot that went to my lungs and after a CT scan it was discovered that I have lung cancer. I am now dealing with the fact that the progress of the cancer has spread since I saw Dr. Ramirez and had he listen to me, did additional testing it would have been detected early.
