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.

Blown Disc
Said he didn't think surgery would do any good since he really didn't see anything that stood out. Went to Dr Miles at Columbia Orthopedic Group and few weeks later went through spinal fusion at C-5 C-6&C-7 at Boone Hospital. Woke up after surgery and pain was totally gone. Amazing how much better you feel when nerve isn't being pressed by herniated disc! This was in 2017. Still going strong!

Craniotomy
Excellent doctor. I had venticuloma meningitis. He coordinated w the infectious disease doctor seamlessly. I was treated by him as an emergency isit, but he continues to do all the follow up. Really liked his office staff as well. So glad I was sent there. He truly cares.

The worst doctor I have ever met. My mother had fallen, and had a fractured disc. The first visit she explained severe pain in her back and legs, and her bladder had quit working,causing bladder overfill and no control, he rushed her out of the office without offering any help and told her to come back in 2 months. She dealt with the pain, non working bladder til then. This time he told her she was old and he knew of nothing he could do for for her. Worthless, rude, and don't give a damn4u.

My experience with Dr. Ryan and his office was the worst experience I've had. Not only did it take over 1 and 1/2 weeks to get the front desk to schedule an appointment (all that was required was looking at Dr. Ryan's calendar), he never called me back with the results from my MRI. I called the office every day for two weeks and never received a response. After going elsewhere, I discovered the situation was much more involved than initially thought. If you want a response, this isn't it.

I saw Dr. Ryan as a second opinion. If I hadn't, I would have ended up with back surgery for a hip problem. I have a very bad back but the problems I was having were different. He actually listened to what I was going through and said before we did anything to the back, would I get a MRI of my hip. I did and that looked like what was causing my problems. I had a hip replacement eight weeks ago and I'm back to normal. Thank you Dr. Ryan for listening to what I had to say!

If you want to get a surgery based on very old (years) MRI images and take a chance of having a something removed that is no longer there then this is the place to go. Very rude.

Horrible Experience. After an MRI And spinal flow study he Disagreed with two different radiologists findings and basically said he wouldn't recommend any action. Thank god I sought a second opinion. In the two months he Wasted my time my condition continued to deteriorate. A 9 Hour brain surgery later from a Capable Surgeon I am finally recovering and getting back to normal. I shudder to think what would have happened if I had listened To him. I think this arrogant Dr.thinks he's House.
