Ramseur James E Jr MD

He is not only a super awsome gyno but he is a super human being .i hv nevr met such a great people like him in my life. i recomend everyone if you want your pregnancy to b awsme. he is d only one.

I’ve been with D. Ramseur for 11 years. As a mother of two and a daughter of an obstetrician, I can attest he is a great expert in his field. On top of that he is a wonderful & caring person.
Hope, you can be his patient as well.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ramseur’s for a few years now. He definitely is lots of smiles and sunshine pleasant. He is energetic and very knowledgeable. I always have supreme confidence in him. I am sorry a few reviews below this review had problems. I have never seen anything close to the complaints. He is a busy practice and I do have to wait awhile to get in for routine things. Time, attention and value are given when at the appointment. I would absolutely refer him to family and friends.

I just wanted to update on this place. In my previous post I spoke of the HUGE HIPPA violation where they gave me very detailed info on two patients. I brought this up to the doctor and he didn’t care at all and thought HIPPA was a joke and the only person that could do something with the info was me.
He didn’t care about federal health privacy acts.
Also, since I wrote the post, I gave birth. He is one of the «bully» doctors in the delivery room. He didn’t have time to wait all day for me to have this baby when I was trying to make a decision on if I wanted the epidural. This was my third child and I did not use anything for the last two. When I just got it so he would stop being a jerk, the baby was out in 5 – 10. I have rapid labor and I was very likely too far along to prob have the epi at that point. He made a snide comment that he knew I would go fast after I had the epidural… No, Dr. Ramseur, this is just my history of rapid labor. Regardless of if I got the epidural or not, I would have had that baby at the same time.
The ONLY good thing about Dr. Ramseur is his quick acting on getting you the services you need to have done. My daughter had single umbilical artery and I def had all the testing and ultrasounds necessary ordered from him.

I saw Dr. Ramseur while pregnant but had to move to a different state when I was 8 months pregnant and was unable to deliver with Dr. Ramseur. I have to say I would have been lucky to have been able to continue seeing him. Dr. Ramseur is very knowledgable and approaches medicine from a very scientific viewpoint. He is also funny and easy to talk to. It is rare that one finds such an intelligent physician with a great bedside manner as well. I did not experience any negative interactions with the office staff as some have indicated on this review board.
When I moved to a new location the majority of the OB/​GYN practices had up to 30 or more physicians and I never got to see the same person twice for my prenatal care. I arrived at the hospital 7 cm dilated and unable to walk and the check in person did not seem to believe I was really in labor. I had no idea who would be on shift when I delivered and i had a last minute resident ask if he could jump in and get some experience during my delivery (of course he was supervised by the nurse midwife). While I had confidence in the hospital’s medical capabilities, I did miss having a relationship with one physician over several months who I knew would be delivering my baby. I would highly recommend Dr. Ramseur if you are in the area and able to get in to see him. I have many friends who have delivered at CHOMP and they had good experiences as well.

I have to completely agree with all of the negative reviews and I have NEVER reviewed any service. Rude staff and in general I left feeling like I was a burden to this office. If you initially think this practice seems too busy to take you– DO NOT GO BACK. I experienced multiple ER visits due to near negligence from this practice, but worst of all they would not grant me the courtesy to say they were far too busy with their millions of patients to properly care for me and just tell me to find a new doctor. If you need urgent or even important gyno care, find another doctor. Period.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ramseur’s for several years and I can honestly say there is no one I trust more with my health, prenatal care and delivering my children than him! He is so great to work with, easy to talk to and funny to say the least. Even my husband enjoyed our prenatal checkups and cracking a few jokes with the doc. Visits to the office are thorough, informative and comfortable. I admire the amount of care and attention he provides knowing how extremely busy he is with deliveries, office appts and surgeries; and still, every visit he is upbeat and full of smiles. I’ve recommended several of my friends to him and not one of them have ever had a bad experience. I truly feel at home with the doc and the entire office staff. I highly recommend you seek out Dr. Ramseur whether you’re in need of finding a gynecologist and/​or especially if you’re pregnant and looking for an amazing obstetrician!

So sad. I called and the lady that answer the phone was so careless of whatever. Rude and just not professional. I understand that the doctor has no appointments available right now, But I’ve never talked to a secretary or receptionist who didn’t ask me for a phone number just in case someone cancels one of the 10 000 already booked appointments. So all of the reviews regarding the staff are true and I didn’t even get to go to the place. It’s sad that there’s so many good things about this doctor but his staff makes you not want to even call or ever go there.

Dr Ramseur is simply a great ob/​gyn without peer. There might be comparable doctors but none better. An unconditional recommendation. He is in large part responsible for my two kids both born with high risk late in life pregnancies to my wife. In the end what matters is results, competency, professionalism, commitment, compassion and understanding. Getting the best doctor is key. Both kids are in college now, one starts medical school this fall. This life changing result likely would not have been possible without Dr. Ramseur.

First off I have to tell you that Dr. Ramseur is by far the best OB/​GYN Doctor in the Monterey area! He is super attentive and knows what he is doing. He has a process, and if you listen to him your delivery will go super smoothly as ours did. He pays attention to detail and makes sure your baby is safe (in the womb) and will identify any problems early on if he needs to address them (luckily, my wife’s pregnancy was very smooth and Ariana didn’t have any problems). He assigns the best pre-​natal vitamins on the market and knows Tricare system inside and out. We are Military and this was a huge plus. Trust me, you should choose him as your OB/​GYN Doctor and you will be in safe hands. Also, I need to address something about those that mention his staff is not all that great on these reviews, it’s just not true. They may come across a little harsh at first, but trust me when I say, I would rather have someone great at their job then be all fake and smiley. Nurse Diedre and and the front desk manager Rochelle are both very good at what they do, and that’s all that matters as far as they are concerned. They will also open up to you as time progresses, but you can’t judge the entire process of Dr. James Ramseur on a bad first impression at the front desk … trust in the Doc, and you will be very happy you chose him. Fact.

Dr Ramseur??? 5 stars!!! The office people??? 2 stars!!!
Love Dr Ramseur but the office crew has to be more pleasant to the patients!

Great obgyn. He’s on the board (or head of the board) at CHOMP. He has tons of experience, patience and he really keeps up to date on current medical studies and such. He is very much a western medicine favoring doc. Not like some of the doctors you get around here and Santa Cruz so if you’re looking for doulas and midwifes this is not your guy. I delivered my first with him and he was attentive and great despite being stretched over so many clients. Dr. Ramseur is a pro.

i am adding to my previous review… i am moving because of my husband re-​enlisting, but i have to say, the one (and biggest) thing i am sad about leaving monterey is not having dr. ramseur as my OB anymore… that should tell you how great he is.
i do plan on having more children and i dont believe i will find another doctor like him, he is such genuine hearted person and took such great care of me when i had my first child, he NEVER makes you feel rushed. (especially, for example, when i got called to reschedule my appointment for 4:30pm instead of 9am to find out dr. ramseur had done 2 c-​sections that day. i was the last appointment he had. in fact, the office was already closed by the time i actually got to see him. and not once did i feel like he wanted to be anywhere else but at work.)
he has a true passion for this profession. I really hope he actually does read this. thank you for everything!

It pains me to write a poor review for Dr. Ramseur… who is himself, a fine doctor and did a wonderful job as my OB for my second child. However, I would warn any potential patients of the shady billing practices that his office undertakes and his incredibly RUDE office staff. I was sent a copy of an insurance statement that was denied. They billed for $ 250.00, hand wrote what the procedure was that they billed for, and then highlighted the patient responsibility column which showed $ 0.00. Having filed insurance for many years through college, I knew that I was not responsible for this charge, but I called my insurance company just to verify, which they did — I was not responsible for paying that charge. The next week, I received a bill from Dr. Ramseur’s office indicating that because insurance didn’t pay, I was responsible. When I called to refute that, the front desk lady curtly told me that she doesn’t do billing, told me she was going to a leave a message for the lady that did and then hung up the phone… with not so much as a «have a nice day.» When the insurance lady (Simone) called me back (two days later), she told me that they «didn’t bill my insurance» when I told her I had the statement in my hand that their office sent, with her hand written note on it, she continued to tell me I was mistaken. She told me that my insurance was billed for «something else» (other than what she indicated in hand writing on the copy sent to me), that they never bill insurance for cord blood collection (which was what I had done) because they know insurance won’t cover it. So basically she was saying that I received a denied insurance claim for «something else» (she later said it was my OB physical) and a bill for cord blood collection (despite hand written notes from HER indicating that they were both one and the same). When I said that this seemed a little shady, she came back with «YOU MILITARY ARE ALL THE SAME, YOU COME IN HERE, DON’T PAY A DIME AND SHIT ON US.» At which point she hung up on me. So I called my insurance company to find out what they billed for. The bill was indeed for cord blood collection. So she lied. They are trying to work the system to have the patient pay for something that is not covered by insurance and that they are not responsible for — that’s called Balance Billing… it’s illegal. I have since sent a grievance to my insurance company and if they continue trying to charge me for this service, I will be contacting the California Attorney General’s office. I could forgive a billing error, but the insult to the military absolutely did it for me. Dr. Ramseur, as great as he is, was not good enough to ever make me want to set foot in that office again… nor would I recommend it to anyone else, after that treatment by his TERRIBLE TERRIBLE staff.

The BEST obgyn in monterey county by far! He’s is so very kind, diligent and overall INCREDIBLE! I can’t say enough about Dr Ramseur his office is always clean, his staff is great, I saw some of the other reviews and I can’t say I agree… Rochelle and Simon rock in the front and as for Deidra she is an AMAZING support! As for Dr Ramseur he CARES and you can’t as for more as a woman! He makes you feel comfortable and answers EVERY question with patience and genuine concern!

I wish I could review the clinic staff & the doctor separately! Unfortunately I can’t, so I will have to average the two.
From the beginning, trying to get an appointment wasn’t a pleasant experience. I called, asked for an appointment, and was told they’d call me back. After not hearing from the staff for the whole week, I called again and was finally scheduled. However, the soonest available appointment was a month away!
So, fast forward several weeks…
The receptionist was pretty cold when I checked in. After a few minutes, a friend of hers walked in and they had a very loud & lengthy chit-​chat session right in the waiting area.
After a while, the friend left & the receptionist made a phone call to a patient. After getting off the phone, she then proceeded to gossip about that very patient with another receptionist! Let’s just say that this particular patient has a pregnant teen daughter who is going to be giving birth sometime soon. The lady even said the patient’s name loud enough for me to overhear. Nice one. It’s a doctor’s office, ladies, not a café. Totally unprofessional.
My rating for that whole ordeal? 1 star.
Now, onto the doctor. This is difficult because I actually really liked Dr. Ramseur. He was friendly, personable, and so extremely helpful. A few months prior to my appointment with Dr. Ramseur, I’d had an unexpected pregnancy and subsequently an abortion. Having an unwanted pregnancy was horrible and I never wanted it to happen again, so I called Dr. Ramseur to pursue sterilization. He was kind and understanding and completely respected my right to decide whether or not to have children. My experience once I actually got to see him was perfect. 5 stars.
I wish this awesome doctor would hire an equally awesome staff! I very nearly walked out because of them, and then this review would have stayed at 1 star. It’s a shame!

Dr. Ramseur is such a kind, funny, and smart man. I was initially apprehensive about going to a male OBGYN, but it wasn’t at all an issue with Dr. Ramseur. Something about him just makes you feel comfortable the minute you meet him. Even my husband has said he is the best Dr. either of us have ever had. I am 25 weeks pregnant with our 2^nd child and our experience with Dr. Ramseur has been 100 times better than our last pregnancy experience with a different Doctor in Walnut Creek. So glad he will be delivering our baby for us!

Doctor Ramseur was referred to me by a friend. I had a consultation with another doctor before I decided on Dr. Ramseur for the procedure. I was extremely happy with the office, and especially with the doctor. He took the time to explain everything to me, showed me pictures of what to expect, and on the day of the surgery, everything went without a hitch. The surgery changed my life in a really good way.

My primary care physician recommended Dr. Ramseur, Dr. Kieth and Dr. Voegelpul to us, and I am so happy we went with Dr. Ramseur. He has great bedside manner, and takes his time with his patients. He answers our questions thoroughly and clearly. He has a great sense of humor and I always seem to leave with a smile. He has a family and you can tell he is a loving guy and loves what he does.
The office is a bit dated, they still use a fax machine and typewriter, and their equipment seems a bit ancient. Although Dr. Ramseur is worth it.
I have seen many doctors in the area, and I have changed often until I find a doctor I like. Dr. Ramseur is the best.

wish i could give more stars but the office staff completely prevents any sort of accolades and frankly my experience with the Dr. wasn’t without its frustrations. On to the next…
But seriously if you dig calling in to a Dr. s office and being given the 3^rd degree by staff even though you’ve been told to «call in» when such and such happens, can appreciate that at 5pm everyone goes home even though your office visit is not complete and you come out to an empty desk, have probably waited for the better part of an hour before you may or may not be asked to reschedule (I guess the time I took off from work where I was unpaid-​Completely– Unimportant) also don’t expect ANY compassion if you happen to be in tears when you call, it goes completely unnoticed and you might even get a response like «I just don’t know what it is you want, I’ll have a nurse call you back, click!
That would be so cool except you didn’t get my contact info. before you hung up on me biatch! Oh, and asking for a copy of medical records??? it’s like taking a trip through alice in wonderland…
