Juan A. Ramos, MD: Pain Management & Anesthesiology Specialist at South Florida Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine

At South Florida Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, known for its excellence in workers’ compensation care, Dr. Juan A. Ramos stands out not just for his medical expertise—but for the deep compassion and empathy he brings to every patient interaction.

As a Pain Management and Anesthesiology Specialist, Dr. Ramos understands that recovery goes beyond physical healing. “My background allows me to take a well-rounded, multidisciplinary approach,” he shares. “Pain is never just physical—it affects every aspect of a person’s life, especially when that pain is tied to an injury on the job.” His ability to address both the physical and emotional dimensions of pain is a hallmark of his practice.

Originally from Venezuela, Dr. Ramos has called Florida home since 2016. His medical training includes time at both the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and the University of Florida in Gainesville—experiences that shaped the thoughtful, patient-centered approach he brings today to the Treasure Coast.

Outside of the exam room, Dr. Ramos is a lifelong lover of music and a talented guitar player. He once volunteered with Musicians on Call, providing musical relief to hospital patients—a testament to his belief that healing can take many forms. When not seeing patients, he enjoys camping with his children and dogs in a restored Volkswagen bus, embracing the outdoors with the same grounded spirit he brings to his work.

So, what drives him? “The hope for a better world,” he says simply. “Love and care for others are what fuel me. I want to make a positive impact—on every patient, every day.”

An average day for Dr. Ramos begins early—typically around 7:30 AM—and includes both clinical visits and image-guided injections. One of the biggest challenges, he admits, is navigating the complex systems within workers’ compensation while ensuring his patients receive timely, effective care. “There are always hurdles—paperwork, delays—but I’m grateful for my staff. We work together to make sure our patients never feel lost in the process.”

When it comes to treating injured workers, Dr. Ramos believes in quick action and consistent communication. “Early diagnoses, fast treatment, and clear communication between the medical team, employer, and case managers are crucial,” he explains. “And above all, the patient needs to be engaged in their own recovery.”

He’s also a strong advocate for integrating alternative care into traditional recovery plans. “Psychological support, acupuncture, and massage therapy should be part of the conversation. They help restore the whole person.”

Dr. Ramos is proud to practice within a multidisciplinary group, where patients can receive everything from physical therapy to surgery under one roof. This integrated approach improves continuity of care and leads to better outcomes. “It’s one of the things that makes South Florida Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine so special,” he says. “We’re able to meet our patients’ needs without sending them in ten different directions.”

Whether he’s treating an elite athlete or a first responder, Dr. Ramos brings the same level of dedication. “Each patient matters. Every day, I consider it an accomplishment to help someone feel seen, supported, and closer to healing.”

His message to the workers’ compensation community is one of hope and teamwork: “Keep your spirits up. Together, we’ll overcome the injuries and restore what was lost—with care, skill, and heart.”
