Louis E. Ramos, MD

Dr. Louis Ramos is board certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine and weight management, and founded Austin Medical Partners in Austin. Ramos grew up on the island of Guam, where a mother who worked as a nurse first introduced medicine as a career and eventually led to the decision to become a physician.

Ramos holds two bachelor's degrees from the University of Washington, one in cellular and molecular biology and another in biochemistry, and graduated from the University of Rochester School of Medicine in 1999 before completing an internship and residency at Baylor College of Medicine. With more than 20 years in clinical medicine, Ramos also carries certifications in functional medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine and in age management medicine through the Age Management Medical Group.

Years spent treating hospitalizations that better preventive care might have avoided shaped the approach at Austin Medical Partners, which was built around partnering with patients and weighing prevention alongside treating illness.
