Dr Ryan h?s been my cardiologist for over twenty years
First provider to ever actually listen which is new for me. I really appreciate it.
The doctor seems okay. I don't feel like I really have a great rapport with the doctor. He comes in asks one or two questions, looks at my records, makes a recommendation then that's it until I have to come in next time. He's not good or bad it's just a routine visit.
He explained everything to me and my son in clear simple language and answered all questions in way we could understand.
Easy to talk to and explain the medicine. He listen to my concerns about my health problems.
Always excellent
Trusted professional for many years. Trust in him totally

Excellent had checked with others Doctors on new procedures if any would be advisable to have done at this time. Very thorough.
Dr. Ryan is undoubtedly on of the best doctors I have very had the pleasure of seeing. He is experienced, respectful, thoughtful and genuinely cares about his patients.
I really don't have much to say regarding my care provider. He comes in, asks how I'm feeling, looks at the records I've been keeping regarding my blood pressure and makes a determination about what should be done. He listens to my heart and then the visit is pretty much over. I have more conversation and spend more time with the nurse who comes in after the doctor. No shade is meant for the doctor, it's just how my visits go.
