I would rate Dr Ryan as an average dentist. I was much happier with the practice before she bought it from the previous dentist. I think some of her attempts at a more contemporary and relaxed office have alienated some patients. I don't like never being greeting by a receptionist when I arrive because the receptionist is back in the office discussing the best places for chicken wings. But, she has not destroyed my teeth, and it's hard to find a dentist you look forward to going to, isn't it?
