Ryan enjoys all aspects of soft tissue surgery and neurosurgery, but has a particular interest in orthopaedics, specifically complex fracture repair, sporting and working dog injuries, and limb alignment correction. When he isn’t in his scrubs, Ryan enjoys watching rugby and cricket, being outdoors and spending time with his family. Despite his career accolades, he is at his proudest watching his young son grow up alongside his gang of feline and canine siblings.
