Dr. Abigail Ryan is a Board-Certified Pediatrician who completed her undergraduate degree in Biology at Saint Louis University, graduating Summa Cum Laude. She obtained her medical doctorate degree from Saint Louis University School of Medicine, graduating with a distinction in community service. She completed her residency at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center in St. Louis, MO, and received several awards during her years of training, including the program’s highest honor (the Dr. Benjamin H. Cohen Memorial Award) for Overall Outstanding Resident, the Outstanding Resident in Pediatric Critical Care, and the Pediatric Intern of the Year.
Dr. Ryan has always felt that all children deserve excellent healthcare, regardless of their socioeconomic status. So after completing her residency, she worked for 10 years in community health centers in Missouri and Tennessee. She joined Dickson Medical Associates in 2021. She has provided care to children from all over the world and applied her expertise to care for children with a variety of different health issues, both acute and chronic. She loves building relationships with families and being a part of helping children grow into the best versions of themselves while helping parents to be the best parents they can be. She cares for children from birth into adulthood and provides well-child checks (physicals), sports physicals, immunizations, as well as caring for children who are acutely ill or with chronic health issues. Dr. Ryan is a mother as well and personally understands that, as parents, we are at our most vulnerable when our child is unwell or struggling and she feels blessed to be able to help alleviate that burden. She strives to work with her patients and their parents as a team to help the child be as healthy, happy, and as safe as possible.
Dr. Ryan cherishes helping her patients and their families thrive through every challenge. She provides lactation consultations for mothers who need help with breastfeeding issues. She has also created a weight management program to help children and families work on healthy lifestyle changes to help children struggling with their weight. This is a personalized program to meet the needs of each specific family and has saved many children from the potential long-term health issues associated with weight concerns while helping them gain confidence now. She has written an informational booklet to help parents learn important information and techniques to keep their children healthy and happy.
Dr. Ryan grew up in a family of teachers but knew she wanted to be a Pediatrician when her brother was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child. Since then, she has dedicated time to helping other children with diabetes by volunteering as a camp physician at a diabetes camp and volunteering with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in hopes of finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
When she is not working, Dr. Ryan enjoys spending her time with her family. She enjoys fishing, coaching soccer, playing sports and games with her children, playing piano, reading, and music.
