Matthew Ryan's Online Review Report Card

I had an amazing experience meeting Dr Ryan and his amazing staff! I’ve have multiple dental issues throughout my adult years and decided to try someone new and closer to my house. Let’s just say I’ve been to a lot of dentist and I have never had an appt where the dentist took over an hour to get to know me. Dr Ryan has a kindness about him that is genuine and it’s obvious that he truly cares about his patients. I also appreciated that he didn’t try and push a bunch of dental care on me, meaning extra cosmetic work but rather encouraged me to get as many years out of my current work. He also set up a plan for me. It was a great experience and look forward to working with him and his staff! I usually don’t take the time to write these reviews but this time was warranted!

Dr Ryan is so good and I appreciate his opinion so much that I drive 430 miles to see him. Dr Ryan was my dentist when I lived in Carmichael and he is my choice now even though I live in Oregon. I tried another dentist in Central Oregon but I was treated like I had never been to a dentist in my life. The list of dental work needed by the Oregon dentist was long, so I was suspicious. Dr Ryan informs me on what needs to be done soon and other work that we need to keep an eye on. I appreciate his honesty and his methods and I will continue to make the drive to Carmichael to see him. Another plus is customer service, his staff is friendly and they greet me by name and I love that.

Had my first appointment over Zoom as a follow-up from x-rays and physical therapy after a fall. I like Dr. Ryan's approach of laying out the available treatments and waiting for feedback. Since this will be a long term problem, he said, "we can go slow and take it step by step." That's my preference, too. But he had more aggressive treatments on offer - which for a younger person, might be preferable. For me, it's good to know there are a range of options, as needed. Great, helpful staff and they've got the pandemic distance tech working with no problems.

Dr. Ryan helped me by diagnosing the fact thatt I needed double hip replacements which I was eventually able to get. He is a great listener and serious, caring and efficient. I consider his diagnosis to have saved me from a wheelchair at a time when other doctors had failed to diagnose me properly. I recommend him for first and or second opinions.

Dr. Ryan and his team are friendly, professional and want to give the best possible care. They answer questions and give suggestions about treatment plans.

I have gone to Dr Ryan to treat major back pain for several years.

Useless

I wasn’t impressed. I’ve had back pain severe enough that I couldn’t walk more than 10’. I don’t like taking opioids for the pain, so decided to try a “pain doc” for the first time. It took 6 weeks to get an appointment with Dr. Ryan. At the appointment, Dr. Ryan told me I was overweight, ordered an MRI, and scheduled me to come back in 2 months... TWO MONTHS! He did NOTHING for my pain and I didn’t feel any compassion or empathy that I was in pain. I called another local pain doc, got an appointment in 2 weeks, got an injection in my back 2 weeks later, and I can walk again... yay!

Dr. RYAN is caring and compassionate. He has the utmost skill at performing delicate nerve ablations...(RFA). His office staff are also well trained and knowledgeable. I do not see why someone would give a poor review, unless as is common, drug seekers do not like to hear no. Just a guess.
