Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Everyone was extremely cordial and well trained from the time I entered the facility until the time I was ready to go home. The x-ray tech was so nice. It didn't take very long for the Dr. to come into the patient room. He shook hands; firm handshake, which I prefer. It explained that through the x-ray, he didn't find anything broken in my hip, but there was bursitis present and recommended my going for PT. Which I'll be doing. Thanks to all.

I would recommend Dr. Ryan to anyone that has knee problems. He replaced both my knees a couple of years ago. I am doing well with no problems. He has the best bedside manner. Fast-forward I am now having shoulder problems and will definitely let him take care of it!
