Tuscaloosa, AL – A memorial service for Dr. Ramesh Peramsetty has been announced to be held on Wednesday, August 28th at the Tuscaloosa Memorial Chapel.
According to his obituary, the doctor was born on July 1, 1961, in Menakuru, India, where he was raised by a single mother before coming to the United States.
Peramsetty later became a board-certified general practitioner and obesity doctor, specializing in aesthetics.
Peramsetty then married Dr. Srilata Anne and moved to Alabama where she built a network of medical clinics throughout West Alabama including: Crimson Urgent Care, Crimson Care Skyland, Alabama Family Medical Center, Crimson Village, Tuscaloosa Med Spa, Tuscaloosa Weight Loss Center, First Care, First Kids, First PT, Crimson Counseling, Allegra, Elite Aesthetics and Wellness, Saroni Real Estate and the Legacy of Crimson Village.
To honor its founder, Crimson Care says all local stores will be closed that day and normal business hours will resume on Thursday.
Peramsetty remained a pillar of the community even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and after 25 years of service to the Tuscaloosa community, the City of Tuscaloosa honored him with Dr. Peramsetty Day on March 28.
The city also renamed a street Dr. Peramsetty Avenue.
Peramsetty leaves behind his wife and their four children: Dr. Sasank Peramsetty, Nikita Peramsetty, Ronica Peramsetty and Rohan Peramsetty.
