Dr Ryan is a gifted physician and diagnostician with a kind manner ,a credible way of describing ailments along with treatment options and takes the time to actually care . If his students take to heart what he both teaches and practices they'll do well.

Unfortunately I kept going to Dr. Ryan. I did not know until much later that I had been misdiagnosed more than 3 times for rather major issues. Not worth my health. I moved on. And don't complain about his residence, vengeance (or cover up) gets to be a nasty process. Nice guy, but not that interested in fully following through with diagnosis and a healthy lifestyle

Has a great bedside manner but little to no follow up. Was supposed to change my medicines, but never called them in. Had me do lab work and promised to call on a specific day and give me results,never called. When I complained he told me that 'I should have called him!'
