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.

Lacking awareness and empathy
This is the 3rd interaction I’ve had with this Dr. the first two were for me and this last one was for my daughter where I had concerns about a shellfish allergy and Yellowjacket sting reaction. He laughed/ joked and made light of my concerns. Told me to not worry because we wouldn’t be going to restaurants where it would be a problem because lobster is expensive. He would rather spend our time talking about things he enjoys outside of work. We are requesting to work with another doctor.

I sought treatment for sinus congestion. Dr. Ryland was friendly, professional and easy to understand. After a thorough exam, he dictated a summary of his findings while looking directly at me, which I found very clear and helpful. Outstanding!

I was very unhappy with my current ENT specialist so I researched the internet and found Dr. Rylund. Thank goodness for the ability to find an outstanding professional from the computer. Dr. Rylund not only treated my ear problem, he made sure I was satisfied with the treatment and answered all of my questions or concerns before I left his office.

Dr Rydlund performed a septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction on me and I have regretted it ever since.The surgery resulted in nasal valve collapse. He did not discuss this as a serious issue pre-op but post-op told me he had been concerned my nasal structure would not support the changes to my septum; where was this disclosure before the surgery? I had to have a 2nd surgery done by a facial plastic surgeon to correct the damage and the turbinate reduction resulted in empty nose syndrome.
