I have been a patient of Dr. Ramirez for sometime now, I joined their weight loss program and it has helped me tremendously! Dr. Ramirez is such a dedicated doctor, she really helped me not only with weight loss but other medical issues that have come along the way! She really listens and takes the time to hear me out with any concerns I have. The staff is always very friendly and professional! Although wait times can be little long, other than that I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Ramirez and her staff! I am always recommending her whenever I encounter someone who wants to start their weightloss journey. 🙂

I can’t say enough good things about Health Direction Medical Center! I have been coming here for almost 2 years and they’ve helped me problem solve health issues, when other physicians have overlooked them. They take their time, they listen, and you feel like you are genuinely being taken care of. I see Megha (PA-C) and Dr Ramirez and couldn’t be happier with their care. The rest of the staff is lovely as well, including Lupita, Marbella, Carmen and Satya. Thank you so much ladies. You’re the best!!!
