Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Won’t listen
Dr. Ryan didn’t go over my MRI that he ordered for me. As a matter of fact not even did his NP say anything about the results. I asked for extended relief pain meds and it went in one ear through the other..Pain blocks didn’t work on me, actually the right side made me worse. He couldn’t make anymore money off of me so he sent me a lame letter that said I should find another Dr after 2 years of seeing them, actually he passes you off to his NP.

Fantastic Doctor
Dr. Ryan and the entire staff make your visit so comfortable. I have seen Dr. Zaidan at this practice, too. All care that you receive here is top notch. The nurses and office staff are so thorough. The procedures that they have performed helped my back and neck pain immensely! I am forever thankful that I found this pain management team.

Chronic Pain from chemo related neuropathy
I have been a patient of Dr Ryan's for around 13 years. He is always concerned about his patients and takes the time to listen. Dr Ryan also has a Nurse Practitioner who is part of his practice, her name is Julie. Julie works with me with understanding and care. Dr. Ryan and Julie has never made me feel rushed or they were tried of hearing my complaints about my pain. They work hard to keep me with little too no pain. I have never had a problem with making an appointment.

I’m very grateful to Dr Ryan for the care and compassion he has shown me in the 4+ years I’ve been a patient. He is the first doctor who has truly listened to me. I’ve been suffering for more than 10 years and I’m not going to get any better. He does everything in his power to give me the best care and the most comfort available. He’s a wonderful doctor and I recommend him quite often.

I would not suggest making an appointment with this office! I just called the main line to make an appointment as I moved recently and wanted to make an appointment with a Doctor that is a little closer to me. The receptionist was very rude, and said "We don't take transfer patients" I explained to her that I wanted to change to get a doctor closer to me that is more on my way home and she said it is our right to refuse patients. I sent myself to a pain management doctor, this office very rude!

Put extremely inappropriate comments about one of my past physicians in my medical record! Right there in black and white typed under my medical history about how that past physician used illicit drugs and had his medical license revoked! How in the world does that type of information end up in MY record? How in the world is that relevant to MY medical history?!? So inappropriate! I found so many errors and outright lies in his documentation of my visit!
