Vaccines are a recommended preventive treatment that can help prevent serious illness and death from known diseases. Many people associate vaccination with childhood; however, teens, adults, and immunocompromised individuals, as well as those who travel frequently can also benefit from the protection of vaccinations. Dr. Esmilkrys B. Ramirez and Dr. Carlos Mella-Picel are skilled and experienced primary care providers. As the leading practitioners at Health Direction Medical Center, they can work with you during a scheduled visit to determine whether you are in need of vaccines and to discuss the benefits of each. Whether your vaccinations are needed for school requirements, specific health conditions, or your lifestyle, schedule a visit at one of our Chicago, IL facilities to discuss your needs with our team.

We’ve been with Health Direction since 2020 and have been happy with how they take care of us. The transition to the Livewell app has made everything smoother and more efficient. Easier to schedule visits and easier to communicate with the physicians/staff regarding our needs. The front desk staff are also friendly and accommodating. Overall a pleasant experience with them!
I enjoyed my experience at the clinic. I felt cared for and they listened to my needs. At the end of the day my symptoms improved and I feel calmer. Thank you!
I Love this clinic I had never felt so comfortable at a doctors visit! Dr.Mella is such a good listener and answers all my questions in details. I recommend this place very neat and friendly!
Excellent doctor! The attentions are first class and the friendly staff and seeing their friendly faces makes the difference.
