I had a visit with Dr. Ryan about my knee and he gave me a Cortizone shot and I’m gonna continue to lose weight until we feel it’s safe for me to have a knee replacement surgery. I really liked him.

Dr. Ryan had done my L5 and S1 fusion in 2011 which was a successful surgery. Now he is giving me steriod shot in both knees because I have degenerate bone and joint disease. Dr. Ryan has and does take time to listen on what's going on with you. And He Does Not push you in surgery and not knife happy. That means a lot! As long as you do what he says to do, You will have a good outcome after successful recovery! I myself highly recommend Dr. RYAN!

I truly trust Dr. Ryan when he medically diagnoses me. I trust the relationship bond we have now as dr and patient that he would not steer me in the wrong direction or make me go through procedures or testing that is unnecessary. He gets straight to the point and he listens to my concerns as a patient on my pain and my discomfort. I recommend him and his staff to anyone and I already have too many ppl. Not too mention the facility is always clean and organized, and the people are friendly.. that matters to a patient that comes in with pain and discomfort in the scare of not knowing.
