Jill F. Ryan, Pa-C

As a child neurologist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care to the vulnerable patients and families who trust me with their care. I focus on ensuring I meet each child’s unique healthcare needs. I use age-appropriate play and conversation to get a complete history and examination. I encourage questions from the child and their family members. I want the family to know that they’re listened to and are empowered to carry out the care plan. I feel lucky to be part of my patients’ healthcare journey, even if it’s a small part. I truly enjoy watching my patients flourish over the years, each in their own way.

At the heart of my practice is a commitment to providing compassionate, comprehensive cardiovascular care. I carefully listen to my patients and offer thorough evaluations and treatments, providing close guidance in managing chronic heart problems. My motivation to enter cardiology stems from the field's complexity, which allows me to make a significant difference in my patients' lives, helping them feel better and live with more energy. I emphasize optimizing overall cardiovascular health and preventing future events through lifestyle counseling and risk factor management. Recognizing the crucial role of families and support systems, I encourage their active participation in the care process. I measure the success of my care by the tangible improvements in my patients’ quality of life, whether it’s helping them feel better after a heart event or preventing adverse cardiovascular health events. The positive feedback I receive, especially when satisfied patients recommend my services to their loved ones, reaffirms the trust and rapport we've built together.

Spinal conditions are often painful. They can cause a great deal of disruption to a person's lifestyle. My patients often comment that they sense how much I care about them and what they are going through. They also appreciate that I involve them in decisions to develop their personalized plan of care. It is a crucial component in helping them achieve the best results for their condition. I focus on incorporating non-surgical treatments whenever possible. If needed, spinal surgery often leads to substantial improvement in quality of life. Our team uses the best techniques and technology available. While no spinal treatment can give a person a "brand new spine", we use every means available to provide the best possible outcome. When patients can resume their hobbies and enjoy things they had given up due to their health issues, that is a success. It's highly rewarding to our care team.
