Ramon Elizondo is a licensed registered nurse (745570) with 15 years of direct patient care experience in Southern California. Born and raised on the border between Tijuana and San Diego, Ramon is a native Spanish speaker and fully bilingual in both English and Spanish. He has a passion for working with a diverse population of patients, both medically and culturally.

After graduating from San Diego State University, Ramon specialized in cardiothoracic surgical nursing.
