Dennise Ramirez PA-C

What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?

I wanted to become a PA because I enjoy the versatility of exploring different specialties in my career and connecting with patients in an all-encompassing manner. I want to support my patients in achieving their health goals with a personalized approach.

What do you love most about your specialty? / Why did you choose your specialty?

As a Physician Assistant, I can work in different settings and specialities- my previous experience was with a hospital based, surgical subspecialty. With gastroenterology, I am eager to continue in a specialty where we can offer diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in addition to medical treatments.

How do you connect with your patients?

I connect with my patients by using easy-to-understand language. I like to make sure patients can repeat back new information and ask any questions they may have.

What are your interests outside of the office (hobbies, activities)?

I enjoy reading thrillers, going to spin classes, and taking care of my cats.

What is your advice for your patients?

Set realistic health goals and celebrate even the smallest of wins!
