Excellent and and caring
Great doctor
Best Retina doctor around!!!
My entire experience with Dr. Ryder and his staff has not been short of excellent.
He was great. The only suggestion I’d make is that when discussing condition/diagnosis, etc with the patient, he use lay terms instead of medical jargon. I understood most of what he was saying because I have a medical background, but for the average person, it would be very challenging.
Dr. Ryder is awesome! His professional, courteous and knows exactly what he’s doing. I don’t trust my eyes with anyone else.
Dr. Ryder is always so pleasant and kind hearted! He really cares about his patients and I’m so confident with having my eye issues in his hands.
Dr Ryder is very knowledgeable and thorough. He is patient and answers any questions that you might have. Highly recommend.
