Our Team

I moved to San Miguel in March of 2014 and am delighted to call this community my home. Previously, I practiced medicine in a busy inner city clinic for nine years while teaching medicine at Stanford. I also did post graduate work in nutrition at the Tropical Institute in Amsterdam. I am fluent in Spanish and have practiced medicine in the United States, Mexico and Guatemala.

Now, after nearly 10 years working in the San Miguel community as a  patient advocate, my mission continues to be giving clients a voice, to understand their needs and provide valuable information to help them make informed decisions.

I have a particular interest in geriatrics and helping people choose the highest quality of living even when that may mean shortening our span of years but vastly improving our experiences moment by moment.

With 28+ years of experience in both public (including IMSS as Chairman of Emergency Services) and private sectors (like Amerimed), Dr. Ramirez is invaluable to the community. The Be Well team deeply respects his medical knowledge and dedication to every patient’s well-being.

Recently, Dr. Ramirez has shifted his focus to direct patient care, reducing hospital administration duties. He continues seeing patients at Joya Hospital, is finalizing consultation space at MAC Hospital, and will be affiliated with a new San Miguel hospital opening soon.

Be Well consults him or his referred specialists on all patient cases. His treatment and courtesy are consistently exemplary, earning him universal praise. Beyond his medical skills, Dr. Ramirez possesses a great sense of humor and boundless energy. Contact him at +52 (322) 109 1414.

Before embarking on her legal career, Laura gained valuable experience at the Tribunal Fiscal de la Federación and the government of Guanajuato, where she contributed to statewide education and training programs. Her dedication to social justice is evident in her subsequent tenure as a subdirector within the Ministry of Social Development from 2005 to 2015, where she spearheaded poverty relief initiatives.

In 2015, Laura established her own consulting services, catering to a diverse clientele ranging from civil organizations and private firms to hotels, local and external commercial markets, and real estate agencies. Her extensive experience and expertise have made her a sought-after advisor in the social and legal spheres.

Laura’s arrival at Be Well marks a significant expansion of our services, allowing us to provide comprehensive support that encompasses both legal and social aspects. Her expertise will be instrumental in enhancing our emergency planning capabilities, ensuring effective logistics, and bolstering our member and patient care activities. We are incredibly fortunate to have Laura on board, and we look forward to the invaluable contributions she will make to our team.
