Queenstown Office Update
Our Queenstown office at the Shore Medical Pavilion (125 Shoreway Drive) closed on June 27, 2020. All Queenstown patients were merged into our Chestertown office to provide continuity of care. Patients were not discharged from the practice, and no additional paperwork was required.
History of Our Practice
Dr. Ramirez opened his first office in Chestertown in 1999. As the patient population grew, he opened a second office in Centreville in 2004 to better serve Queen Anne's County and neighboring communities. In February 2015 that office moved to the Shore Medical Pavilion in Queenstown, and in June 2020 the practice consolidated all care at the Chestertown location.
