Dr. Joshua Ramos was born in Boise, Idaho, but has lived in DFW for most of his life. While he knew he always wanted to be a part of the medical field, he also had a strong love for music, with a focus on concert violin and contemporary vocal performance. It was during his time as a musician and vocalist at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts that he decided to pursue a career in medicine while still being involved with the arts. He received a Bachelor Of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Texas at Arlington, followed by a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Texas State University.

During his time as a physical therapist, Josh has worked with various diagnoses in both orthopedic and neurological realms, ranging from ACL reconstruction and shoulder impingement to cerebral palsy and stroke.
