The team
Leadership
Ramon Jimenez
CEO / Founder
Graduated in General Medicine in 1993 from Santa Clara, Cuba, earning a Master's in Orthopedics in 1997. After immigrating to the U.S. in 2005 and working in rehabilitation centers, he founded AJ Therapy Center in 2013 — named after his father Alipio Jimenez's initials. Ramon still spends most of his week on the treatment floor, and the center's approach reflects his: a thorough exam first, a plan built around the person in front of you, and results you can feel from the first visit.
Dr. Jose Cruz, M.D.
Medical Director
Founder of MD & Wellness Center in Tampa since 2006. Completed his family medicine residency in 2005 through Temple University and Montgomery Hospital, and has treated auto injury patients ever since. As Medical Director, Dr. Cruz oversees every treatment plan across our three locations, coordinates with attorneys and insurers on documentation, and makes sure nothing serious is missed before therapy begins.
