About Me

Throughout Dr. Ramirez's academic career, he has made a concerted effort to cultivate a well-rounded skillset by engaging in research, education, and public service. In the pursuit of these three pillars he found a passion for academia, leading him to his current position at Lurie Children's / Northwestern University as an academic clinician with a focus on education and health disparities.

He traveled across the country in pursuit of top medical education and surgical training, and found his passion in pediatric ophthalmology. He is ecstatic to be at the leading children's hospital in Chicago and has an interest in treating a wide variety of pediatric eye diseases in a caring, compassionate, and patient-focused manner.
