Dr. Ryan grew up in a family of professional performing artists, where sharing stories and understanding the human experience was quite fundamental, but injuries and illnesses were avoided at all costs! Dr. Ryan wanted a profession that allowed her to connect with people on an intimate level, help families navigate life's biggest transitions and empower them to make informed choices.
She has always been fascinated by the human body, especially its ability for self-healing, and what can be done to aid that process. She went into medicine with a strong interest in women's health and obstetrics but found family medicine to be the best home for her varied interests and overall preventive approach to care. Dr. Ryan loves that family doctors can deliver babies and continue to care for those children, their parents and grandparents for generations.
Hobbies: supporting and participating in the vibrant performing arts scene in Lancaster County, singing in a local women’s barbershop chorus, performing with an improvisational theatre troupe, cooking, exploring local restaurants, traveling and spending time with her husband, a writing professor
