New St Pete office. Spouse visited and from the first visit on it was a mess. Seems only interested in billable conversation and not answering questions. We followed all of the "required" necessary and ended up without any answers unless another visit was made without the basic information and questions from the first visit answered. Physician was aware some questions would follow. Practice seems to be based on $$ rather than helping a patient. A round about way just to bill more. Would recommend go elsewhere. read more

The Ramos center and Dr. Benson have been extremely good to me. Late Friday, starting the Memorial weekend, I phoned the office with a problem and left a message. I never expected a call back until Tuesday since it was a holiday weekend . However, at 6:15pm on that Friday I received a return call from Dr Benson who discussed my problem with me. Dr. Benson and the Ramos staff are very careing about their patients. I'm glad to recommend Dr. Benson and the Ramos center. read more

I'm overall very pleased with the progress on addressing my pain. They care and it shows in many ways: quick in and out, ensuring my comfort through what could prove to be a painful treatment, but other than a momentary prick or two of needles, it wasn't. My body has so much arthritis in a variety of joints that this will be a rather long journey, but for the first time in my adult life I do see a positive outcome in the near future. read more

don't waste your time! you have to be approved to be selected as a patient! what?! who does this to people in pain seeking medical assistance with insurance...how is this even legal? these 'doctors' need to move out of bradenton with their nonsense practice! read the other reviews, they are very real and sad. read more

Tresting pain is a difficult science. I have been suffering with degenerative diisc in my back and have been treated by a wonderful doctor up north. There are very few options for this problem so I ger trigger point injections when things flare up. Being a snowbird I wanted to find a doctor in the Sarasota area that I could be treated by. I did some research and could not find anyone who got great reviews. I decided to try the Ramos center . I was directed to Dr. Fura . i got an office visit after 3 tries with the call center i was impressed with him, he gave me a full interview and discussed options my back flared up and I did go in for a procedure similar to what I got up north. I get the impression that most medicine in Florida is driven by big business. And most physicians who accept Medicare have to find a way to get larger payment. however the procedure he gave me helped me tremendously. i highly recommend Dr. Fura for his knowledge and experience, but Like they say. Let the Buyer Beware when it comes to financial issues and insurance. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would, stay FAR away from this horrible place if you're young and not above 50yrs of age. Dr Raymos, is doing injections all day, and you might see him for 3 mins if he gives you that time. Now I am going to tell/inform you on my case and how much these people don't care or want to treat pain, and just want to keep giving you injections and taking your money by adding up co-pays and billing insurance for thousands. Background about me, I am a full time teacher at the age of 25. I got into a major car accident last year which led me to 56 breaks all over my body. Now I healed from months of physical therapy to the best my body could, and I also do other things like deep tissue massages so I am trying many sources to get back to low pain. The issue is i have hardware (pins holding a rod) around the nerve in my knee which is extremely painful but worse at times. The way this center wants to solve this is Kenalog injections every few months and pills that are useless, and above all else tropical cream. I know how bad these injections are for your body, and will make my joint weaker and more painful in the future as my body gets use to them... multiple doctors of mine say stay away from this.... The Raymose center does not care about this at all. The nurses there are sweethearts, and see how much pain I'm in, and gave me hope that he will treat this pain. Now for the members of his "team".. Dr Benson, he is extremely nice, but will not listen for more than 2 mins to you. It's like they want to rush you out as fast as they can, but they also rush the $300 insurance bill as well per checkups that some I don't even want. I told him the NSAIDS and cream- yes no joke they want to use a tropical cream to treat almost all injuries, are not working. I know I will be in pain forever, and I'm fine with that, but I wanted hydrocodone 5mg about 28 pills for a year, for the bad days I'm in extreme pain and can't walk without limping. That's like 2 pills a month, how would anyone abuse that... I'm not sure seeming I'm not asking for refills and made it clear that It can be monitored very close... I been on hydrocodone before in the hospital and know it works with no side effects for me. I was hoping NSAIDS would work, and tried 4 of them with no luck. So seeming Dr Benson would do these "video calls" from Covid-19 an hour late and see me for no joke- I timed it 47 secs... I tried to express the intervention wasn't working, but he didn't listen or care and kept giving me NSAIDS and cream that made me sick and didn't work. Also another side note about him, after an injection pain came back a month later, and I as I talked to the nurse as they listen in on you in the background, I said maybe it wasn't done correct as he screams out impossible. Well sorry I am in pain, and not sure why it came back fast and was just asking... Finally I got fed up and said let me see someone else as I tried to express my feelings to Raymose during my last injection, he said he would work with me on the bad days.... I see the nurse practitioner who is part of his team of doctors.... Maybe she gave me 5 mins, than she rushed me out. She wanted to give me a tens box on my knee.... I'm a teacher.... I don't want to be hooked up on me knee walking in school all day getting shocked. So she said she would ask Raymose if she could use hydrocodone... A week goes by with no word, I call them back and they inform me Dr Raymos who said he would work with me for the bad days, said no to pain pills..... At this point I realized how much money they stole, how much they don't care about patients who are young "no joke one of the nurses gave the excuse that we grow cells faster" and that's the full reason we don't get treated as elders, even if we are in pain. They want to rush to see you, rush you out, rush to bill you and repeat. I hope this place gets shut down after looking at the other stories which are sad on how they dope elderly up and don't tapper them off. I know what it's like and the risk/power of these pills after the crash. It's so sad because maybe they cared at one point and lost there way. It just sucks because I'm still in pain, and have to find a doctor who cares. If you are reading this Dr Raymos, thank you for seeing me and being kind. This is the sad truth I tried to express to you in the few mins you let me talk to you, and I hope no one has to deal with this place. I'm just lucky I had other Drs who told me I'm destroying my body with these injections you give. I don't want to be in more pain as I get older, and need to find someone who will help me during those 3-5 days I'm in serious pain a month. read more

Ramos center had been good to me has helped me I'm the past like 8 years ago now having problems and they are again helping

I have been suffering from serve pain since a neck surgery that did not help as expected but increased my pain. The whole staff especially Deborah Vogel-Howard has been very understanding. I really appreciate her and the rest of the staff. read more

Recently, I posted a negative review of the Ramos Center because one of the practitioners refused to refill a prescription for pain medication. Although the reason for her decision was based on her sincere concern for me as a patient, I was upset that she wanted me to cold turkey off my pain medication even though I was in dire pain. There was no way for her to know that my pain was caused by the inability to urinate and possible bladder stones or bladder cancer. I didn't even know that until I saw a urologist. I have to admit that the practitioner had a legitimate concern... she was concerned about an interaction between my pain medication and my sleep medication. Furthermore, I just received a letter from a member of the Ramos Center apologizing for the misunderstanding and attempting to help me with my pain. I am scheduled for a cystoscopy tomorrow, and at this point in time, I no longer need the services of the Ramos Center. I just wanted to let everyone know that the people at the Ramos Center care about their patients. Genie Polower, Ph.D. read more

I have a relatively rare and painfully debilitating condition known as Post-Thrombotic Syndrome. After seeing several physicians who either had never treated or were not familiar with this condition, I made an appointment at The Ramos center. The staff were very professional and Dr Fura was both knowledgable and highly effective in helping me. I have a Ph.D. degree in psychophysiology, many courses toward an MD degree and I have taught at three medical schools. I know highly competent when I encounter it. This doctor and his associate, Dr. Jessica Radcliffe (PH.D. in nursing) were extremely professional and just outstanding to deal with. I recommend them very strongly with no reservations. Dr Ty Gardner read more

Worst place to go for pain, they up you pain medicine get you feeling good. Then they take it away. They increased your medication to get you feeling good then they take it away. Then they say you will need to go with a stimulator, oh your insurance won't pay but 70% well you need to come up with the rest. Dr. Ramos doesn't care about your health HE'S JUST TRYING TO SEE HOW MUCH $$$ HE CAN GET FROM YOU!!! read more

I have been a patient for over 4 years with the Ramos Center. They have listened to what I have told them and have been aggressive in different types of pain treatment besides just pain meds. I would highly recommended the Ramos Center .I have been treated with respect from everyone at the Ramos Center. read more

I moved to Florida recently. Unfortunately it was during covid so it's been hard to find Dr's. After monthsand months I finally got a referral for my back. (I've lived with chronic pain since 15 yrs old and I'm 62.) I was referred to Ramos clinic. My first visit wasn't great. I waited 2 hrs. To talk to a Dr for 10 minutes, during which time she was interrupted once and left the room once. She determined through my records what I had told them is I had great luck with spinal ablasion. So she sent me for an MRI and scheduled me for an appt the following Monday to do a spinal epidural to mak sure the ablasion would work. Did the MRI. They called and cancelled appt for epidural but rescheduled for later. I was happy but still wondering what MRI showed. I figured I would hear when Dr did my back on Friday. I got there at 620 am my appt time. Went in got an IV was taken back to procedure room where a different Dr I had never met came in. She said they were ready to put me to sleep and they did. When I woke up a nurse asked me if I wanted something to drink ND gave me water and a piece of paper and told me to call a number after 3 hrs. She put me in my car without another word. So later I called the number. No answer. Called again. Left msg. Called again. No answer. Left msg. No one ever called. Not Friday, not Saturday another Sunday not Monday. I called again on Monday, again no answer,, again I left a msg. Finally someone called me! Only for her to say that Dr Ramos said HE did want to continue with me because my pain wasn't ZERO! First my Dr was a woman both the one I saw and the one I never met or even knew the name of that did the procedure! When I pointed this out to the person who called me they hung up on me! Really?! 4 days! 4days post procedure I still hadn't gotten any information about my procedure or my MRI. So I called again on Tuesday 5 days post procedure. I got another call from the same woman I spoke to on Monday and still received no information. I'm one week post procedure and still have no answers. Don't go here they're not there for you they're there for your insurance money! read more

OMG! Dr. Ramos, thank you so much! To be without pain is truly incredible. Beats a 6 hour surgery and 2 months recuperation!

I made the mistake of making an appointment at Ramos Center for Interventional pain. The doctor I saw was John D'Auria. He was absolutely horrible. During my initial intake I was at the office 3.5 hrs. 3 hrs of that was waiting for the doctor. When I finally did see the doctor was was rude, abrupt, didn't listen to a word I said, He has no people skills and no bedside manor. I was scheduled for a series of spine injections (by the scheuling dept) with doctor D'Auria. My procedure was at 11 am. I arrived at 10:45. After waiting 2 hrs, 15 min. I was taken back to the procedure room. I was told the procedure would be 60 minutes. I was out of the procedure room in less than 15 minutes and left in a hallway to be picked up. Clearly the doctor was triple booked and running behind. I certainly question the accuracy of the injections being the procedure usually takes 60 minutes and I was put under injected and left in a wheel chair in 15. read more

If you go tho the Ramos Center [ In Bradenton, Florida ] for Intervention & Functional PAIN Medicine : By All Means necessary avoid this Dr. Patrick D. Grace, M.D. not only he does NOT care one bit about YOUR Pain he always wants to shoot you Up with lots of needles first and prescribe medicine like all NASAIDS that other DR's have already tried before that no longer works for me . In my case those NASAIDS really tear my stomach up and give me long bouts of diarrhea once again I tried to explain to him, over & over to no avail. Then he scheduled me for Powerful shots into my Spine and expected me to "suck it up" for up to two weeks until THEY could schedule me in two weeks later, what a Joke ! I highly do NOT recommend anyone wasting their time seeing this pain clinic who is only looking for your $$$ & Insurance or Both to re-schedule you for more Grief & pain. Are they suppose to be a Pain Specialist Center ? Give me a Break please !! read more

Today, I had an epidural steroid injection with Dr. Fabian Ramos at the Sarasota office of the Ramos Center. It began when I was scheduled by a incredibly sweet lady called Whitney. She called the day before to remind me not to eat after midnight and other instructions. We arrived at the office at 6am to meet Whitney who was full of life, seems to do everything effervescently and wore the biggest smile. After the paperwork I was taken back to see Sallie, a fellow RN, who would begin my IV effortlessly in a "beautiful" vein. George, the Nurse Anesthetist (and a fellow Ohio State Fan) stopped to say hello and GO BUCKS and then Andrew, the handsome and excellent Surgical Assistant took me back into the surgical suite and chatted with me until Dr. Ramos arrived. Dr Ramos is a softly spoken man who treats everyone as if family. He confirmed my date of birth and the procedure I was having and then came over, held my hand and gave me a reassuring smile as the meds were pushed and I went to sleep. I awoke to Sallie saying hello, and within a very short time, I was in a wheel chair heading out to my husband's car. I initially hurt my back in an accident in 2006. Since moving to Florida, I have attended the Ramos Center every three months for care and follow up. I see a Physician's Assistant called Jeanine. Jeanine has the bluest eyes, lovely blond hair and always has an upbeat frame of mind. She is extremely knowledgeable and tells you what you need to know and not what you want to know. She also treats you like she would a family member. I so enjoy going every three months because I enjoy chatting with her. She is the best! I should also mention Kayleigh who is the Office Manager. When I first began with Dr. Ramos, Kayleigh was a medical assistant. With hard work and dedication, she has worked her way up the ranks. Cudos to Kayleigh - so proud of you! Lastly Cody, a medical assistant who you can always rely on to call you back if you need help with anything. I think he would offer to wash the car, if he was asked. A kind reliable young man! I would highly recommend the team at The Ramos Center. They are the epitome of patient care, professionalism and knowledge. If you have pain - they are the team to help! Thank you to you all! read more

I saw Dr. John D'auria today for chronic pain related to fibromyalgia. Not only did he not listen to anything that I said, even when I was answering his questions, he didn't observe my requests to be gentle with me because my entire body was in pain. He handled me so roughly I was in severe pain all day. To make a long story short, he couldn't leave the room quickly enough. As I stood crying and trying to ask questions about alternative therapies, he couldn't be bothered to offer me a tissue as he practically ran from the room. I'm a 55 year old professional woman, who has not taken pain medication until January of this year. I was not there seeking hard core medication. I was hoping to discuss injections or dry needling. I gave one star because the office was clean. read more

Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This is just another injection factory, with no care for the patient and more interested in rushing you out than caring or curing. They asked me more information about whether I had a ride home so I wouldn't be there after my procedure. Never received a follow up. Billed my insurance company an exhorbinant amount because they did one of my injections in a "surgery center" My doctor was Dr. Nieves, who to this day would have no clue that I am still in pain and hurried and rushed out. I called and asked to speak to Dr. Ramos to talk about my problem, but of course he never called either. This is only a business to manufacture as much money as they can. I feel bad for you if you go. Good luck, if you are reading this I understand your pain, they don't care. Have had other doctor's roll their eyes the minute I mentioned the name of this place. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Ramos for 8 years following a work accident which left me with a neurological disorder RSD that is extremely painful. Dr Ramo is wonderful and caring. When I go for my normal 3 month visits I see Janine. She is fantastic and very compassionate! One time only a few years back Janine was out so I had to see Dr D'auria. Sorry to have to say that he was so extremely rude and he walked in the room and said "so what's your problem"??? I was immediately turned off to him and as I tried to explain to him what I had been treated for for several years already, he interrupted me and basically belittled me like I was some kind of chronic complainer. He would not listen and I got so upset that I asked him to leave the room that I did not want him treating me. I relayed my dismay to Janine and I requested that I never have to see him again. From that day forward I see only Janine for my routine visits and I couldn't be happier. I have seen Debbie once or twice when Janine was out but Debbie is very pleasant and understanding. I deal with enough anxiety with my condition and I don't need to add to it. They took my concerns very seriously and remedied the situation immediately and I am most grateful. My low review is strictly relating to Dr D'auria NOT about Ramos Pain Management!!!!!! I have highest regards for them as a whole! I highly recommend and I have!!!!!!! read more

Just left Dr.Ramos office. He and his office staff are great!! The nurse practitioner Janine treated me with respect and finally I found an office that truly cares about my pain. read more
