Christine M Ramirez, MD

Caring for children and partnering with families through every stage is at the heart of what I do. Through a strong focus on rural health, I learned the importance of accessible relationship-based care and how to be a strong advocate for patients and families. I prioritize building trusting, collaborative relationships — from those joyful and vulnerable newborn visits to supporting teens and young adults as they grow in confidence and independence.

My clinical interests include holistic and preventive care within the guidelines of evidence-based medicine. This includes supporting healthy growth and development, nutrition, physical activity, safety, and the social and emotional factors that shape a child’s overall well-being. I also have a strong interest in caring for children and adolescents with ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

I see every visit as an opportunity to support children as they become their healthiest, most authentic selves. Watching children grow into the best possible version of themselves brings me joy and fulfillment every day.
