As a neuro-ophthalmologist, I specialize in visual issues arising from the brain and its connections with the eyes. I think it is imperative for a physician to be a good listener, as the key to the right diagnosis can often be discovered in the story that only the patient can provide.

I appreciated that the assistant and doctor had prepared by looking at my chart prior to appointment, and they respected my reaction to hand sanitizer by doing hand washing instead of using sanitizer.
Thanks

Dr Walsh's diagnostic abilities resulted in a comprehensive analysis of problems no other ophthalmologist was able to figure out in the last 6 months.He provided a treatment protocol for follow- up so that my local optometrist can prescribe appropriate glasses.
I received the most thorough explanation of what the nature of my issue is in the 40+ years I've had it! I am very grateful for the help I received from Dr. Walsh in understanding my condition.
Nothing else. I was given excellent attention and care.

My appointments with Dr. Ryan Walsh are always very beneficial and well worth the time spend. His Tech, Brian, was very good and provided very good care before Dr. Walsh came in. It was a good appointment.
Actually this would be the first group of medical professionals, I wish I could have in my every day life with Vascular EDS. The way everyone cared. The nurse was fantastic with making me feel accounted and heard, (the breathing and relaxation talk before the Blood Pressure read really made my actual health feel accounted for. This had to be my first doctor to sit and actually explain everything out without me even having to ask. He even addressed all of my concerns in his summary, again, without questions. I felt so taken care of. It actually inspires me for the medical field. Thank you guys for the being the first team in my ever lasting issues of coming out of a childhood basement dwelling, that made me feel listened to, and taken care of. I would recommend no other place for someone with serious health concerns to make sure theyre are themselves, being treated with care. Like they are still human beings. Thank you.
I already made a referral to one of my friends who needs to see the neuro-ophthalmologist. I received excellent care.
Excellent care. Very caring doctor. Highly recommend.
Very professional, very friendly, and very knowledgeable
All process is good
