Great first visit Staff and Dr. Fantastic
I have been a patient of Dr. Ryder’s for over 5 years! Being only in my 40’s with a serious eye condition that typically affects those that are 80+ required a different skill set. I asked questions he answered. I was afraid, he calmed me. When I dropped a tear or two, he made me smile. As a medical professional myself, these are the qualities I search for within my own physicians. I would not be able to see enough to write this review if it weren’t for Dr. Ryder and his truly amazing team! His team is dedicated and dependable! They show up every day to work with a smile, and have such a beautiful disposition!
Excellent dr.
