About Shahira Ramji, MD
Certified by the American Board of Family Medicine, Shahira Ramji, MD is originally from Nairobi, Kenya, but she was raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin since the age of four before moving to Los Angeles to work as a Family Medicine physician.
Dr. Ramji knew from a young age that she wanted to become a doctor so she could help people. She enjoys meeting people of all ages, and from all different walks of life. Her fondest desire is to enrich her patients’ lives by making a positive impact on their health, and to that end, in her daily practice, she uses a multi-modal approach in their treatment.
Dr. Ramji received her medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. She then went on to complete her internship and residency at the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.
Of course, being from Wisconsin, Dr. Ramji is a life-long Green Bay Packers fan. Other personal interests include reading mystery and suspense novels. But more than anything else, when she’s not with her patients, she loves going on cruises and spending time with her family and friends.
She is the best provider I have had. Sensitive and attentive to my needs. Very kind, courteous and caring physician.

Dr. Ramji is the best dr I ever had. Thank you Dr. Ramji.
Providence PatientShe could not have been any nicer or helpful.
Providence PatientDr. Ramji is incredible. She always follows up with me, even after hours and on weekends.
Providence PatientDr. Ramji is always friendly and a great listener. She's really great about sharing realistic and practical ways to help with health problems in light of the fact that I'm a cost-conscious, busy mom of three.
Providence PatientDr Ramji has been my primary care physician for many years and I feel lucky to have a doctor that genuinely cares about me and my health. She is patient, understanding, and kind. Dr Ramji understands my family's medical history and takes the time to make sure I am scheduled for referral appointments and medications to keep me healthy. Overall, I am very satisfied with Dr Ramji and the level of service I receive from the entire office.
Providence PatientExcellent open and very on top of all my needs in health care.
Providence PatientI've always found Dr Ramji to be a compassionate and highly competent physician. I used to see her years (?decades?) ago when she was with a different practice and I was delighted when I could return to her as my primary care physician. She has always answered my questions and made appropriate referrals. I can't say enough good things about her.
Providence PatientFirst visit at this office and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Thank you to everyone!
Providence PatientI always have good experience with my primary Doctor Dr shahira Ranji. She is very kind, caring and very much helpful in my all satuation.

Providence PatientDr. Ramji is always great! It's surprising that for the number of people whom she sees, she remembers specific details that make my relationship with her seem unique. Great 'bedside manner'!
Providence PatientI am pleased with Dr. Ramji's care. The appointment was only for testing to make sure my prescriptions should be changed or remain the same and all went well. I received the results and Dr. Ramji's comments the next day. In the distant past with other doctors, getting test results was much more of a problem. I am happy with getting this information on my health.

Providence PatientDr. Ramji and staff polite and helpful.
Providence PatientDr. Ramji is always exceptional. She remembers your personal history, remembers your past interactions with her and shows a genuine concern and interest in your wellbeing. The difference between a good doctor and a bad one often boils down to their ability to relate and show empathy. The medical knowledge is something that any doctor should be able to offer at a base level, it's the personal care that people like Dr. Ramji offers that set them above the rest. I also want to say the support staff was great as well. Fast, friendly and efficient. The waiting room was empty, I was shown a room within a minute of arriving - the whole process was as smooth as you could hope for during COVID times. A well oiled machine.
Providence PatientEvery thing was fine, no problem.
