About Our Centers

Ramon Jimenez graduated in 1993 of General Medicine in Santa Clara, Cuba. At that time, his interest turned to Orthopedics and Traumatology. In 1997, he earned a Master’s Degree in Orthopedics.

In 2005, Ramon emigrated to the United States pursuing a future for his family. As most immigrants, he faced big challenges and did hard jobs earning a minimum salary. Through these hard times, he never renounced his dreams of some day to having his own business in the field of rehabilitation of accident patients. In 1996, while studying his specialty in Orthopedics and Traumatology in Cuba, his father was killed in a car accident. Unfortunately, he couldn’t save his father’s live.

During the period of 2007-2009, Ramon worked as a Medical Assistant at different rehabilitation centers. He became familiar with the business and its functioning.

In 2013, Ramon decided to start his own center and that is when AJ THERAPY CENTER was born. He chose that name in honor of his father’s name initials: Alipio Jimenez (AJ).

Ironically, an accident took his father’s death and another accident caused the death of his older son Jose Fernandez, a well known pitcher of the Miami Marlins baseball team. The rehabilitation of accident patients has given him a true satisfaction of helping his community. He has helped hundreds of people fully recover from accidents.

What he couldn’t do for his father and his son, he does everyday for his patients.
