This was my first meeting with Dr Ryan. She was very knowledgeable and listened to all my concerns. My only feedback would be that she seemed very rushed during our time together. If I’m only going to see a Dr once a year to discuss my health, I would like to feel as though they are not in a hurry to get me in and out.

Dr Ryan is great at her job. She has been very attentive to my medical care, and she was able to provide me with a diagnosis of an autoimmune disease after I’d been struggling with my thyroid for years. I appreciate the care that she takes in her work, as it’s done a lot to ease the stress I’ve had over my health.

Kathryn is such a capable & caring physician and a good listener. I’m so glad my wife and I found her. You won’t find a better primary care doc and the whole practice is very well run, 5 stars

A graduate of Boston’s Simmons College, Dr. Ryan initially received a degree in Studio Art. After running a wine store in Boston for two years, the draw of Alaska and family brought her back home.

After working as a hospitalist and doing locums throughout the state of Alaska, she jumped on the opportunity to join IPMS in 2016.

Dr. Ryan enjoys meeting pilots from across the state, and performs FAA Class I, II, and III flight physicals.

Like most Alaskans, Dr. Ryan enjoys many outdoor pursuits such as skiing, biking, fishing, and hiking. She also loves cooking with sourdough, gardening, and spending time with her husband, Ryan, their three children, Duncan, Olivia, and Skylar, and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Piper Cub.
