Dr. Ryan’s interest in medicine began by watching his father, a general practitioner, care for patients. Born in Canada, he moved around the United States as a child. His family had settled in South Carolina by the time he was in high school and Dr. Ryan discovered how much he enjoyed science, particularly the human sciences. Although the interest in medicine was already there, he spent some time waiting tables in Charleston while he earned money and figured out exactly what career path to take.

Dr. Ryan earned his medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina. He then went on to complete his internship and residency in general surgery at Carilion Clinic, followed by his fellowship in vascular surgery at the University of Kansas. Dr. Ryan’s work philosophy is that the most important goal is providing high quality care to patients. The second most important thing is to provide an inviting, respectful work environment.
