Dr. Ramirez helped saved my life! He is the most compassionate, caring, loving doctors I've ever met! He and his staff takes this more than just a job, they treat you like family. I'm located in another city and I was referred to him and was told he was the best. So, I drove 4 hours. I was anxious and scared, but when I got to the hospital and saw him I felt so comfortable because I know I was in good hands. Trust me, if you want a bariatric surgeon you will not find one better than this doctor. He calls you, answer all of your questions, and take time with his patients. I had a challenging situation, because I had a stroke with paralyses and other medical issues such as diabetes. He treated me with such good care! He's confident and prayerful all the way. I love him and his staff for helping me to have a quality of life... T.J.

From day one meeting Dr Ramirez at the Bariatric Center I knew he was well skilled in gastric sleeve procedure. Often answering questions even regarding what to expect years after the surgery . He has encouraged me to live a healthy life style and not just look for quick weight loss solution. Thanks Dr Ramirez I Appreciate you !
