She is very knowledgeable & respectful. I like the health tips she gives me and she respects my values around wanting to get healthy through proper diet & exercise. I love Dr. Ryan and wish I could find a primary care provider as good as she is.
Always great.
Dr. Ryan kept my PCP in the know. She communicated everything with him, even though my PCP is not an OSU physician. That was important to me.
Mrs. Ryan is thoroughly professional and compassionate for helping me.
Excellent care - knowledgeable about my issues. Explained step by step procedure.
All I can say about Dr. Ryan is she is so caring and so professional. I would highly recommend her.
Dr. Laura Ryan always listens carefully and asks good questions. Her evaluation is thorough, and she delivers education in a way I can understand. Dr. Ryan listens carefully to my concerns and questions. She is very kind and caring. She also is very easy to reach via MyChart and will reach out to me to inquire how I'm feeling.
Dr. Ryan was one of the most thorough, courteous, informative and best bedside manner I've ever experienced. I could definitely tell she was a pro at what she was doing . . . A biopsy for me.
Listen to what I have to say.

Professional & considerate answered all my questions.
As always, Dr. Ryan is thorough and willing to listen to my concerns.
The doctor was competent, but had little time to address my issues.
I chose this doctor as a result of having a really bad experience from another facility and system. Dr. Ryan is top in her field! Extremely smart & knowledgeable in her field. She was able to explain a mechanism of a medication no other doctors would explain. She worked with me to find a medication that would work well & was acceptable to me. This doctor gives lab results & answers messages either the same day or 1st thing the 2nd morning.
I can't thank Dr. Ryan Enough for her care, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness. I feel that prior to this visit, another provider at a different facility did not explain things well or even take the time to talk with me. Dr. Ryan is amazing and I am so grateful that I could get in to see her - she alleviated many of my concerns and clearly explained a plan moving forward. As a former cancer patient, that extra step in knowing my history and carefully explaining my care plan in regards to this issue, really made me feel better and hopeful.
My care was excellent as always.
Dr Ryan is terrific!
I love Dr. Ryan! She listens carefully and considers options thoroughly.
