Meet Erica
Erica Ramos started her medical career as an Army Combat Medic in 1998. In 2000, she completed the Army Officer Candidate School and became a medical planner. Soon after, she attended the Interservice Physician Assistant Program at Fort Sam Houston of which she graduated as a Physician Assistant in 2004.
Erica is a life-long learner; she strives to deliver up-to-date, evidenced-based medicine. She has expanded her education by completing her Master’s degree in 2007 and her Doctorate degree in 2021. In addition, she has completed the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistant Fellowship program and is a Diplomate member of the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants. She is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and has an additional certification in surgery.
Erica has a wealth of experience. In over 18 years of practice, she has worked in family medicine, emergency medicine, rheumatology and dermatology. She has also served as a medical consultant to a non-profit organization that improves educational opportunities and access to health care in developing countries around the world. However, Erica’s passion has always been for dermatology. She loves practicing dermatology because of the ability it gives her to perform medical, cosmetic and procedural medicine. She finds true joy in helping her patients.
When she’s not immersed in all things skin, Erica spends time exercising, skiing, fishing, mountain biking, and traveling. She loves spending time with her family and watching her son compete in various sporting events.
