I want to extend a thank you to Dr. Ryan and her care team. I really appreciated that she took the time to understand my problem, her eagerness to help, and her overall demeanor. Truthfully, it was one of the best in-clinic experiences I have ever had!

Lindsey Brown, ATC evaluated our 15 year old son who was concussed while wrestling at a high school tournament. She spent a great deal of time with us and her genuine concern for his well-being was not just apparent during his visit, but included several calls to follow-up regarding his progress. Lindsey’s knowledge, thoroughness, warmth, along with consultations with Dr. Ryan and the High School ATC, helped ease our concerns tremendously. We highly recommend Lindsey and Dr. Ryan and appreciate them greatly!

I want to give a huge shout out to Dr. Maria Ryan! She was so thorough and took her time trying to figure out where my pain and issues were coming from. I knew she genuinely cared about me and wanted to help me feel better. She listened to me, she asked questions, and then came up with a plan. I never felt rushed. Dr. Ryan is so kind and truly cares about her patients well-being. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you for your kindness, knowledge and professional advice.

I had been having pain in my right hip and left knee that was not subsiding. My family doctor referred me to Dr. Ryan for further evaluation. I am more than impressed with Dr. Ryan and her logical, pragmatic approach to determining not only the cause of the pain but also how to manage it going forward. She was very easy to talk to and offered a number of options for treatment. After the first appointment I felt like I have known Dr. Ryan for years. I cannot say enough about how good she is to work with and would highly recommend Dr. Ryan when seeking a solution to your knee and hip issues.

Dr. Ryan was incredible! She listened to my concerns and was able to diagnose issues that no one else could diagnose. She was very thorough and thoughtful in discussing options.

Dr. Ryan was so wonderful. I hardly felt the injections. Very personable and caring. She explained other options for my osteoarthritis in several of my joints. I made another appointment with her for other areas bothering me.

Dr. Ryan is absolutely outstanding! We were so pleased with our recent visit! She took time and really listened to our concerns. She engaged and cared enough to get to the bottom of issues. She made an action plan and showed respect for my daughter’s pain and desire to get back to competing. She is extremely knowledgeable and clearly explained everything! We will travel the 4 hour trip to see her for all our medical needs because she is worth it! Hands down one of the best doctors we have ever seen! We are so pleased and so impressed! So grateful and finally feel like things are going to get resolved! We have real hope….thanks to Dr. Maria Ryan.

After 3 months of unsatisfying care through other referrals and recommendations, I asked Dr. Prebonich of North Memorial, my care provider for several years, who HE thought could help me. Dr. Ryan was his choice. She is ABSOLUTELY wonderful in every way. She listens and she articulately shares her thoughts. Her compassion for my needs seriously seems divine. Dr. Ryan’s clinical assistant, Ashley Rockey, is held equally as spectacular. If it’s Olympic style care you desire, CALL Dr. Ryan.

Dear Dr. Ryan,

I was so grateful for all that you did for my mother, Carol, yesterday, that I felt compelled to write a note to thank you.

I just finished reading Atul Gawande’s book, Being Mortal, and I think the stories in that wonderful book heightened my awareness of how important doctors can be in improving and maintaining quality of life for us as we age or face significant illness. Doctors can also steer us wrong or fail to provide us wise counsel or understanding.

I so appreciated your approach with my mother. I saw you demonstrate gracious listening; empathy, compassion, and warmth; respect for her dignity and clear, practical, and thorough communication about her condition and potential alleviation of her symptoms.

Thanks, too, for going the extra mile to talk with Carmen S. right away and give us the notes of our visit.

Mom is feeling a little better so far, and we’ll hope that upward slope continues at full speed.

May you find continued success in your career of helping people maintain and improve their enjoyment of an active life.

Dr. Ryan was amazingly helpful and thorough. I’ve been to several orthopedic specialists at other clinics and found that they didn’t take time to listen to what was going on, or didn’t take me seriously because I wasn’t an athlete. But Dr. Ryan took the time to really pay attention to what was going on. She was mindful that I’d had back surgery, but quickly recognized that the pain actually was in my foot and not a nerve pain coming from my back. She prescribed some easy-to-do treatments and less than a week later, the pain is in control and will just continue to improve.
