The reviews listed below were collected independently of Kentucky Bone & Joint Surgeons through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.

Dr. Ryan took his time for my first consult. He answered all questions and developed a well thought out plan of treatment. I liked that he is conservative as far as cutting asap unlike many surgeons .

The shots I get in my hip as needed really improve my quality of life. Dr. Ryan knows just how to help.

He takes the time to explain everything, connects with his patients in a “down to earth manner” and is good at what he does. Recommend to anyone.

Dr. Ryan is the best orthopedic surgeon. He has the best personality. Friendly and easygoing. He puts the patient at ease immediately. Will refer others to him.

Caring and understanding of what I'm going through and what kind of care I need

Dec-2019

Great doctor. Four stars because of lengthy wait in exam room to actual seeing this Dr. This has happened every visit to this office. My time is as valuable to me as yours is to you. I just don't make as much $$ as you making people wait. Maybe time to find a more punctual Dr.?
