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.

Extremely Knowledgeable
She knows her stuff. She is proactive and well informed of current treatments. She has helped me for years and has been accepting when I decline a recommendation. Her staff have been with her for the entire 10 years I have been seeing her. They are also friendly and low key. She has helped me be feel much better!

My visits are all in all on time each time since I had her for years. She is very good listener & seems to know what to do to help immediately. No one is perfect, so if she had a couple of bad rating it must be because the was patient was not listening to her. She has always listened to me, but told me what she throught & so far she has always been right on. She is amazing & I would not change a thing about her. Because of her I feel much better now than ever.

Dr Ryan has seen me through some of the worst days of my life. She is always caring and easy to follow. I trust her with my life. Kim and the other office ladies are wonderful.

It is truly heartbreaking to see negative reviews. I have to wonder just how many doctors you have been through. Dr. Ryan has been my doctor for 7 years. She is truly the best Dr. I have every had. Friends and family who have gone to my appointments are envious & have tried to get in to see her. I drive 3 counties in a day just to see her. The only Dr. that you actually get an hour with instead of an hour bill for 15 minutes. She will leave no stone unturned, cares & goes above and beyond.

I would not recommend Dr. Ryan to my worst enemy. She is rude, doesn't listen, and its her way or the highway. I have never been treated so poorly in my life by a physician and their staff. I had a receptionist cuss at me over the phone. She is incredibly hard to get an appointment with, which is surprising to me after my experience. I assumed it was because she is good at what she does. That could not be further from the truth.

How does this woman have a degree in medicine much less a autoimmune specialist? Yikes. Talk about defensive! Someone should teach her humans cry. I would not recommend her as a doctor much less a specialist.

Dr. Ryan has been my rheumatologist since 2014. She listens well and takes my concerns seriously. She follows up on symptoms with testing and/or referrals when necessary. She treats me as a whole person, considering other medical conditions and medications that I am taking. When I leave her office I have a print out that lists what we discussed in the appointment, medication changes, and a list of to-do's and suggestions for me to follow up on. She also welcomes info on new research development

Very arrogant & dismissive Dr. Does not take criticism or alternative Solutions, i.e. does not accept patients who want to participate in their care. If you suggest checking into another possible diagnosis even one time, she will refuse accepting you as a patient for another appointment... What kind of a doctor Stops caring or minimizes a patient who knows their body & experiences better than anyone could & hopes to convey that in 20 minutes--to participate in every effort to restore HEALTH CARE

Dr M Ryan is both respectful and very knowledgeable. Kindness in her office (by herself and her staff) is always shown. I trust her very much. She clearly explains things and offers patients choices when she can. Staff is very pleasant and helpful.
