Exceptional care
Good
I absolutely love Dr. Ryan. He was the only one that saw how much pain I was in, and despite my age at the time, he still replaced my entire knee. Ten years later my replacement is still in good condition and now we will be preparing for the other knee to be replaced. He is an amazing doctor. I recommend him to anyone who has bad knees.
Information shared as to expectations of my doctors arrival and it was prompt.
Very impressed with the physician's knowledge, ability to teach and communicate, honesty and professionalism.
Super happy with Dr. Ryan, very helpful.
Very thorough
He helped my husband with knee replacement I trust him and the system
My initial surgery was fantastic. Dr Ryan's PA is fantastic too. This visit was all I needed from Eric. I wish the receptionist had realized that was possible. I clearly told Dr Ryan this.
This is the 3rd doctor I've seen for this problem, besides my primary. Left with an understanding of my diagnosis and treatment plan. Very satisfied, only wish I had seen him sooner
Good staff
She is the best but now she is overworked so I cannot get. In as often as I would like.
Dr. Ryan was very thorough in explaining my x-rays and the proposed course of treatment. I appreciated the detail. Made my decision on cate very appTent and easy.
Talked of everything I needed to know. Very professional.
I have known Dr Ryan many years. I have the utmost confidence and respect for him. He explained my condition and offered treatment options. He addressed the issue with my weight in a very professional, kind manner, and within 2 days I was contacted by the dietitian.
Doctor was very professional.
They eased my mind
Dr. Ryan is a good listener.
Gave me all the time I needed
Very thorough - kind, gentle touch.
Dr. Ryan replaced my husband's knee several years ago during a complicated surgery. We really liked him then and decided if either of us needed to get a knee replaced, we would come back to him. Now it's my turn and here we are.
Great, informative.
Rewarding experience. Left with complete confidence.
You have a top quality physcian in Dr. Ryan.
Excellent explanation and decision - making support.
He was referred to me by my p. therapist and was not disappointed.
Plain speaking, sensible treatment ideas
I really liked Dr. Ryan, especially after we discussed our near death experiences and he was a lot closer than I was at a much earlier age. Also I liked the way he showed us the xrays of my knee and explained what we were seeing. I felt much better when I left his office than when I went in.
Dr. Ryan receives an all-around A+ from me.
I have full confidence in Dr. Ryan. I have already recommended him to family and friends.
Dr Ryan is a thinking physician not a quick to cut doc Excellent listener, understandable communicator, highly skilled diagnostic care was given.

Dr. Ryan - his skill and manner inspire confidence and trust EXCELLENT DOCTOR.
Appreciate physician giving me options for treatment and considering my input.
Very Good.
We had a good experience and the doctor was very professional and knowledgeable. He invited questions and comments.
Dr. Ryan is incredibly good. I researched him in 2017 before my first visit with him and was (am) very impressed with his credentials, publications and experience - and he is young! I was worried when his heart problems took him out of service for a time - I hope to keep him as my knee/hip ortho for life. I am always glad to see him and he always acts as if I'm the most important patient in his practice.
Everything was really good
Couldn't wish for better experience.
Dr James Ryan is amazing, I have already recommended him to multiple people.

Very informative and questions were answered completely.

I have already told others who need hip replacement that my doctor is the best along with the whole group of people involved .
Provider is one of the best, very clearly illustrated and explained my situation as well as surgical/non-surgical options
Good
Staff & clinicians were prompt and efficient in everything!
Dr. Ryan was very thorough and explained everything.
Everyone was attentive and caring.
Dr. Ryan has a great reputation for his surgical skills, but his office demeanor and approach is excellent as well. I got a very thorough discussion of what was causing the pain in my hip. Our treatment plan was outlined and he remain for any or all questions. I don't know that I have ever done this, but before your survey came in, I was going to write him directly and tell him what I am stating now in this survey.
Dr. Ryan was very thorough, kind, & professional.

A+++ rating for Dr Ryan
Very professional and efficient.
Dr. Ryan is great!
Dr. Ryan is a very good surgeon. I would highly recommend him.
Very good
Dr. Ryan seemed a bit distant and legal. I understand that I need to make the decision to have surgery, but decisions are easier with a friendly face.
As a patient of Dr. Ryan's, I Thank Him for Saving MY Life!!!! 2015 he suggested/recommended a colonoscopy as part of pre-op. I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. In 2020, he saw a spot on my forearm that he thought should be looked at=skin cancer. These all happened because of his attentiveness to his patients. He is extremely knowledge without an ego attitude, but when he is right, he is right, which can bother other practitioners...
This surgeon is very honest, even if the bad news is hard to take. I would rather know the full truth than to have it downplayed.
Great experience with this.
Good experience! - He talked a little to fast.
