Best Doctors office in the midwest. Truly cares for patients and cares about them. Trusted with my family care for almost 15 years. Thank You Dr. Ryan!

I saw Dr. Ryan as a new patient in September because I was having some chest discomfort and palpitations. There was a medical student who was shadowing dr. Ryan during my first appointment, the student asked most of the questions and performed a blood draw which left me with a huge painful bruise that lasted for two weeks. Ten days after my appointment, Dr. Ryan sent me an email with the lab report, although the attached report stated that the results were received by her office the day after the blood test was performed, and also said that one of the blood tests was not run by the lab without

This is a neighborhood doctor taking care of her neighbors. Like in the good ol’ days!
Dr. Ryan is a talented hard-working doctor with A+ bedside manner who is dedicated to working with you as a person who she truly wants to see feeling and doing well. She is treating her with patients with compassion and understanding and investing the time to learn who we are to best meet our needs.
One of the best doctors I’ve had to date.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ryans for over 6 years, and couldn't be happier. I am not a fan of many doctors, but I love her. Down to earth, thorough, understanding, and caring. Dr. Ryan takes her time, talks and LISTENS, actually wants to know how you are doing, not just physically but emotionally too. I wouldn't trade her for the world. My name is Kathleen Gilliland and Cara Direct is one of the best things that have happened to me.

I've been a patient of Dr. Ryan for 9 years. I was thrilled when she opened Cara Direct Care and to have this option for my medical care. Dr. Ryan is interested in treating the whole patient. When I see her, she asks me questions that affect all of my life and my health is part of all of my life. In the last six months especially, she and her staff have been with me on a journey of weight loss. This has been a life long struggle for me and I've seen consistent results in weight loss and health improvement. I'm changing my eating habits and assessing why I have these habits, able to have deeper

Dr. Ryan has been my doctor for over 10 years and she is truly one of the most caring, passionate, and dedicated doctors I have ever had. Her determination and passion to her field and her clients is rare to find. I highly recommend switching to Cara Direct and asking for Dr. Ryan. You will not find better care anywhere!

Dr Ryan is very kind, very smart and cares about her patients. Dr Ryan keeps up on all the new medical information and educates her patients. I know if I have a problem or a concern I can count on Dr. Ryan to help me. My husband got hurt and she met us right away at the office. She stitched him up and away we went. Again, Dr Ryan is very kind and very knowledgeable and a very caring doctor.

The care we have received from Dr. Clodagh Ryan (and her staff) has been amazing! Signing up with Cara Direct for our primary care was the best health decision we have ever made for our family. Most recently, Dr. Ryan has gone above and beyond to support us during a very difficult health crisis; her expertise, follow-up, and ongoing support kept us both grounded and positive during a challenging experience. Dr. Ryan provides high-integrity healthcare with heart and we feel grateful to have her in our community.

Additionally, the growing "direct primary care" movement is the

Dr Ryan is a compassionate, caring and dedicated doctor who’s only priority is the patient. Her concern for my families’ health and our medical costs is truly unique. The Direct Care model of treatment allows her the freedom to treat patients as human beings not numbers. I can speak to her when I need her. Our office visits are lengthy and never rushed. Dr Ryan’s instincts are exemplary- twice she diagnosed my wife’s vague symptoms as needing immediate hospitalization resulting in her return to health. I am very excited to be a part of Dr Ryan’s groundbreaking change in the doctor/patient
