Dr. Anna Ryan, MD

I have to say before seeing her I read these reviews and almost canceled. I kept my appointment and I am very happy I did. She was very helpful and went above and beyond for me. My appointment was for one spot on my foot. She checked me all over and found some other spots in question. I had a laundry list of issues and she dealt with each one very professionally and never made me feel like I was being rushed. She explained everything in great detail. My experience was top notch! I couldn’t be more thankful.

I do not like leaving negative comments but feel compelled in this case. I do want to say that I think Dr. Ryan is qualified and well-versed in dermatology but her bedside manner and follow-through was less than wonderful. Dr. Ryan was cold and made me feel, from the get-go, that I was an imposition. She ignored patches I pointed out to her, saying they were just "bumps". Those bumps have since been diagnosed as more than "bumps" by another doctor. This diagnosis, was a turning point in my treatment and should have been a no-brainer for a dermatologist. As well, when I asked about my examination, she basically told me that she knew what she was doing and it wasn't my place to question her. Finally, she did not send my exam notes to my primary care doc and did not send biopsy results to my sending doctor. To my understanding, and maybe I am wrong, this is a reportable offense.

If I could leave a 0 out of five stars I would. She was rude, curt, dismissive and judgmental! She didn't ask me questions or apparently read my five page health questionnaire and jumped to conclusions after a minute saying "I can't help you." She wouldn't even tell me what she thought. Luckily I'm an assertive, professional woman, so I confronted her. I'm supposed to have a follow up appointment with her, but instead I booked it with another doctor who is known to be an excellent doctor.
