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.

Unfortunately linked to him through regional health. If you like your appointments only lasting 4 minutes and feeling stupid every time you ask a question, Dr Ramirez is your guy. If you want a medicine that will make your body and head hurt for several months, he’s your guy. If you want medications canceled you been on since 2nd grade without your permission a day before a trip, Dr. Ramirez is your man. Wish I never found this office. Front desk lady was nice though. Hope I never see Jose again.

I would not recommend Dr. Ramirez. You cannot get a message to him and when you call his nurse you only get voicemail without a return call. He works in a practice with several other psychiatrists, however, if he is on vacation there is no one to cover for him. When you talk to him to tell him what's going on with you, his response is "don't you have a therapist to talk to? " This review is just based on my experiences with him.

Excellent care from Dr. Ramirez, who has been my doctor now for several years and my bipolar has stabilized, praise God! He is personable, a good listener, and very knowledgeable about medicinal side effects.

Would not recommend this doctor to anybody! On my first appointment after telling him what my issues were he was smiling and looking as if he was trying not to laugh at my misfortune. He obviously became a doctor for the money, not because he sincerely cares about helping anyone. I was in utter disbelief after I left, even tried to figure out if was something else that made him giggle at me like he did. I couldn't think of anything.

Dr. Ramirez was not very interested in helping us, he kept my husband on the same medications for almost 5 months even though I repeatedly told him my husband was not getting better. He also misdiagnosed my husband as having bipolar, correct dx is Major Depression. We are working with a new psychiatrist and an IOP, my husband is finally making progress on new medications and we now have hope. Sadly, we wasted a lot of time with Dr. Ramirez, he is the worst doctor I have ever dealt with.

Possibly the least personable physician I've ever seen. Did not even ask me how things were going during first appointment. Scary the lack of quality practitioners out there in our communities.
