Not sure what to say?

Dr Ramsby was so compassionate and always went out of her way for her patients. Dr Ramsby got me on my way to finding an accurate diagnosis and she taught me how to advocate for myself. We lost a wonderful human being and a knowledgeable, compassionate, and creative doctor.

She was so compassionate and always willing to listen and spend time with you. I have not found another Doctor like her.

Dr. Ramsby was such a wonderful person and very special. I had her as my Rheumatology doctor for a few years. To this day I miss her very much. She will always be in my heart forever. May God be with her each and every moment in heaven. Peace to her family and her husband. God Bless all of you.Chris Williams, Canton CT

Dr. Ramsby was one of the most thoughtful doctors I have ever encountered. Every other doctor I saw prior to her had just dismissed me after a ten minute visit with a prescription in hand. Dr. Ramsby was the only doctor that truly listened and ran a variety of tests without ever considering time or the quick fix I had become accustomed to. I am so grateful for the thorough visits with her over the years. Even when I would go into an appointment with an article in hand and my own silly ideas...

My wife Matina and I were terribly saddened to hear of Dr. Ramsby's passing. My wife was so fortunate to have had the benefit of being treated by Dr. Ramsby two years ago, who was the first doctor that was able to partially diagnose her condition and point her in the direction of other specialists who subsequently continued to help her improve. When I accompanied my wife to her appointments, I was amazed by how much time Dr. Ramsby took with her -- some of the appointments were over 2 hours...

I was so sad to find out the Dr. Ramsby had passed. I credit her with saving my life. When other doctors would not listen to me, she had me diagnosed by the second visit to her office. She always had time to talk to me and reassure me when I would start "freaking out". She was truly a gifted doctor and wonderful person. My condolences to her family.

Dr. Ramsby, was so different than any doctor I have ever met. We all have lost a very special and caring soul....

No way to replace her.

A beautiful person. RIP.

When I was a junior resident in orthopaedics, I had the privilege of working with Dr Ramsby when she was a fellow in Rheumatology at UCONN. She was a compassionate physician and a great mentor. I truly enjoyed working with her and learned a great deal in my short one-month rotation. When I went into practice, I consulted her often for my difficult patients. She will be greatly missed, but her memories will, no doubt, live on through the many lives she touched. My and my husband's (Khosro...
