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.
