Provided by YP.comI agree with all the reviewers, Dr. Ramirez and his team work wonders! We came down from San Jose to see him after hearing from a friend who lives in Salinas who went to him for infertility and was helped. We went to NOVA in Palo Alto but we felt rushed by them and not listened to very well. We've been TTC for over 1 year and I wanted to try IUI's before going to IVF right off like NOVa wanted us to.
Dr. Ramirez took his time, did two IUI cycles with us and after we failed he convinced us that IVF might be the only way to go. So we did it, but by then we felt ready for it and we were happy with his service too. You can call him or anyone on the staff at any time for advice. Karen Warfield is the best counselor I've ever been to. We were given a meditation cd that was made specifically for infertility patients that I used as I was going through by procedure! I went to acupunture too, with their referral. All that and the doctor's expert ability was what made our little miracle happen. We are now waiting for the big day six months from now! He is really worth making the trip down to see. Thank you!

Provided by SuperpagesThe best thing I can say about this clinic is that Dr. Ramirez is a miracle worker! We came here after years of trying to get pregnant. I admit, we saw Dr. Ramirez in Salinas 5 years ago, but we were too chicken to go through IVF then. Now I am in my late thirties and I know that we made the right decision to go ahead with it. We went through IVF just one month ago and now I am expecting...! We just had an ultrasound yesterday to confirm the pregnancy, and it looks good! It is such a thrill to see that heartbeat I cannot tell you how happy we were and how many tears we shed! I hope that anyone else out there who is trying like we are goes to an infertility clinic right away and doesn't waste time with IUI/clomid cycles. If you don't succeed after the first year, you probably need to do IVF and the longer you wait the harder it gets. I think Dr. Ramirez is really, really good at what he does and the embryologist, Lisa Standing is too. There is a lot of support from the team! Thank you!

Provided by YP.comI see that there aren't many reviews for this clinic and I wanted to make one because it's the best! Dr. Ramirez and his staff have been unbelievable! We had to try four times (two of those times were with another clinic and wasted!!!) until we had success with In Vitro fertilization. With Dr. Ramirez, we tried two times and we never gave up because he urged us on! He never suggested doing donor eggs because of my age (41) but I know that I probably would have gone that way if we had not finally succeeded. We are so grateful to the doctor for helping us become parents. I am going to deliver in September and with God's help, I know that we will have a healthy baby girl! The amnio came back normal and I am so excited now!!! Karen Warfield the IVF coordinator was an angel and really helped us through this emotional ordeal. We were given a meditation cd and she helped me find a massage therapist who helped me relax. Best of all, though is the doctor and the embryologist who are the top of their field and never let us feel that we couldn't have a baby somehow. The tests were all done in the office, which we like so much because it is in a nice peaceful place in Monterey. Even the financial part wasn't too bad because we are doing the financing through their office and we will pay a little every month. I highly recommend coming here!

Provided by YP.comDr. Ramirez was very helpful when it came to helping me with the issues I was having with menopause. The hot flashes stopped and the meds he put me on were very good. I tried with another gyn in town but he didn't help me at all. I saw Dr. Edward Ramirez's talk on Red Hot Mamas lecture at Salinas Valley Memorial and I think he really practices what he preaches...thanks to him I have a better quality of life!

Provided by YP.comI went to see Dr. Ramirez for a follow up after having gone to see someone else in San Francisco and I was pleased to see that he had moved into a brand, new facility and is still offering IVF in the Monterey Area. We are so pleased that he is willing to see us and let us try IVF again in his clinic. We enjoyed meeting with him and have high hopes that he will be able to help us!

Provided by YP.comA few years ago my husband and I went to visit Dr. Ramirez after trying to get pregnant at another IVF facility and failing. Dr. Edward Ramirez was fantastic! He not only listened to us and gave us lots of time to express our fears and concerns but he gave us the baby we've always dreamed of having!!! Now we are ready for a second one and scheduling another appointment to see him. When you go through IVF you want to go to the right person, and he is the one! Inform yourself and look at the SART website at the statistics, you'll see he is the best infertility doc in our area, maybe even in Northern Cal!

Provided by YP.comWe went to see Dr.Ramirez a year ago with our problems. We've been trying for a long time to have a baby but it just didn't happen. He gave us a couple of options to start, IUI and if that didn't work, IVF. He was very kind and listened to my fears, not like the first doctor we went to. Plus, he didn't push us to do IVF right away. We tried IUI (intrauterine insemination) twice and it worked!!! I now have a beautiful baby girl. It was worth the time and money. I wasn't getting any younger and I know lots of women out there wait too long. Don't wait! Go see Dr Ramirez!!!

The kindness and gentleness that is shown throughout the office made this experience a memorable one. Thank you!! M.D.
