I have been practicing in this area since 1986 and have seen the many positive advances in delivering high quality , efficient care. There are challenges in delivering this care due to the bureaucracy in obtaining authorization for medication, testing and procedures but this should not deter us from our goal. I welcome questions as I believe that the more information you have about your health the better decisions we can make together.
“Dr Rams is the best doctor I have ever had. He excels at his job day in and day out. He always completes a thorough exam, asks questions, and answers your questions. You leave his office feeling "cared for." His tag line is, "A higher level of patient care." It's true! I cannot recommend him highly enough. Also, his staff is exceptional, especially the lovely Zoraima. After Dr Rams pokes and prods, Zoraima's adieu is like a soft caress. You won't find a better medical practice in all of Miami.”
