Very experienced, professional, excellent care, worked on me, my wife said she liked the way he took time to explain everything to her while I was in recovery. For what it's worth I think he is an excellent Cardiologist. My qualifications to rate him are only that I'm still alive two years later, and see him once a year. What else can I say, I like him, he is very personable and I would recommend him to friends.

My dad was Ramirez's patient. My dad died. We filed a lawsuit and won. He is a dangerous doctor.
