Professional profile
About Dr. Ramirez
Elena Ramirez, MD, grew up in a bilingual household and developed a practice centered on the details that can disappear when design and medical conversations move too quickly. She helped establish Miami’s combined consultation model, in which the physician and Clinical Plate Design team prepare patients for distinct but connected decisions.
Dr. Ramirez sees patients considering first-time elective replacement, Aurum gold systems and compatible custom-studio work. She is especially interested in helping patients separate material preference from broader questions of permanence, maintenance and long-term comfort with a design.
