TRIBUTES

Our group stands on the shoulder of giants. Dr. Miranda, long-time president of our group and a founding member of our group, was key among those giants. -MM

Ramiro was a dear friend and I had the pleasure of working close with him for years. As his surgery scheduler we went through a lot together and I’ve observed him perform effortlessly in the OR. I have to say he was a brilliant surgeon, incredible businessman, and loved his family more than anything. He was the most selfless human being and was always cracking jokes. You will be dearly missed my friend – JF

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Miranda for over 20 years. He was an amazing and compassionate surgeon. He also was very humorous person. Even with his most serious face he couldn’t keep it straight, he would try his hardest to be serious, but he would break in a matter of seconds. He was a great person to work for. Even though he was retired, his presence will truly be missed. -HS

Very saddened to lose Dr Miranda. may he rest in peace – AC

I had the pleasure of working for Dr. Miranda when I first became a medical assistant and for the first six years of my career until I went to our Brentwood office. Dr. Miranda was one of the kindest people I have ever met. He loved his family more than anything and always bragged about them. I will never forget when our office was over on La Casa Via, he would go home when he was done seeing patients to be with his family and then would come back to the office later at night to dictate. That always stuck out to me because to me, it showed much he loved his family. He was so caring with his patients and staff alike. There was never a day that went by without a joke from him. He always had us laughing. He was just an all-around amazing human being aside from being an amazing surgeon. His loss is a huge one and I will never forget him or his kindness. Please pass along my deepest sympathies to his family. – JE

I have lost an old friend, a friendship that started in residency training at UCSF, and sadly ended this last week. We spent our careers working closely together and building a practice. He and all our partners cared deeply for its success and value it brought to our patients. Rest in peace my good friend for a job well done. – GJT

A TEAM OF VISIONAIRIES

When Dr Miranda and colleagues began breaking ground in Shadelands Walnut Creek, for the first-of-a-kind comprehensive orthopedic center, it changed the face of care in the East Bay. Patients now had a one-stop-shop for consultation, x-ray, surgery, PT and follow-up care. It set the stage in the year 2000 for the model we still operate today. It was brave, visionary and innovative. Just like all the people involved. We will always be incredibly grateful to Dr Miranda for his huge part in our story.
