Dr. Ryan is so great. I went to see her the day before my surgery..She had the records from a previous surgery I had had, she had x rays that and other tests that I had had. She had read all of them and was able to give us her thoughts on what she thought would be the best plan for me.
Dr. Ryan is fantastic. She listened to everything I had to say and gave me lots of options for my next steps, and I left feeling empowered and well informed. I ended up doing surgery, and again she made me feel so comfortable and gave me all the information I could possibly need and the whole experience was as stress free as a surgery can be. I'm really grateful for her time and her expertise
