May-2025
After some alarming health episodes and going through a journey of sorts trying to figure out what the issue is, seeing Dr. Ryan was a breath of fresh air. During my appointment I felt like an actual patient (rather than a rushed agenda item) who was fully listened to and focused on. Dr. Ryan was interested in what I had to say, allowed me the time to fully describe what I have been dealing with with, took a lot of notes and really dug into my symptoms. During my appointment, I felt like she was truly interested in my health issue and I really appreciate that.
