A Miami physician assistant admitted attempted rape. He’s still licensed, not in prison
So far, pleading guilty to attempted rape hasn’t cost a Miami-Dade physician assistant his medical license or his freedom, other than the restrictions of those on Tennessee’s sex offender registry.
That’ll likely change — but not immediately.
An administrative complaint was filed by the Florida Department of Health on Oct. 25 against Julio Ramos, 34. Administrative complaints start the process toward potential discipline for those holding state licenses.
After his guilty plea on March 27, the 5-foot-6, 130-pound Ramos was sentenced to six years of probation for an attempted rape on Jan. 24, 2021.
Ramos’ Florida Department of Health license profile says he became licensed on Sept. 21, 2018. That online profile lists 7800 SW 87th Ave., Suite A110, the address of OrthoMiami, as Ramos’ official address and the Tennessee Sex Registry lists that as the address of Ramos’ employer.
The timing on the medical license discipline process playing out can vary greatly, even when dealing with medical professionals involved in the same violation.
For example, after the death of Jaynisha Williams during a Brazilian butt lift in Plantation, complaints were filed against lead surgeon Dr. John Nees and Dr. Millicent Muir, whom Nees used as an anesthesiologist despite knowing she lacked training in anesthesiology. The complaint against Muir was filed Jan. 23, 2023. Her license was revoked Dec. 14, 2023. Nees’ complaint was filed Sept. 27, 2022. He still has his license.
