I can't decide whom I like more...Dr. Ryan or Dr. Kaas. Both are absolutely fantastic! They take the time to explain what exactly is wrong, give you all the possible options and always respect your choice (and input). My family and I have had NUMEROUS injuries to our ankles; all of which requiring various degrees of treatment (I.e soft casts, hard casts and surgeries). Through each procedure(s) both doctors were easy to reach, considerate of my time and kind. I sincerely could not recommend a better set of doctors. read more

Dr. Ryan is the BEST! He takes time to listen to you concerns and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire procedure. My toe nail was coming off and I didn't know what to do. His office staff were sweet enough to give me his next available appointment. Check in was super easy. No wait times and seen immediately. Check out was equally easy as well. No need to keep looking for a podiatrist. Dr. Ryan is your man! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Ryan's for 2 years. Read reviews before making appointment. I live in Culpeper , but the awesome care I receive is worth the drive. He is an awesome doctor and his staff has been nothing but awesome. He completed both of my bunion's and recently repaired my ankle. Just love his kind and gentle bedside manner. I would highly recommend him. Thanks you again, Dr. Ryan. read more

AMAZING doctor. I'm a disabled vet. I've gone to multiple podiatrist seeking help for my military service connected issues on both feet from the Army. No podiatrist wanted to touch me. I spent 5 years in pain management trying to manage the extreme pain from it. I finally found Dr Ryan the one podiatrist not afraid of the challenge. Through a series of 9 operations I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel where I may be able to have some days walking with little pain. THANK YOU Dr. Ryan for taking up this challenge, thinking outside the box to do all you can to give me my life and feet back read more

I live all the way in Culpeper and I decided to see Dr. Ryan based off the many wonderful reviews and comments. Let me start by saying he's an excellent doctor. He listens and explains things well, he is very nice, and I would definitely recommend him as a doctor. I have only met once in person but he really tries to find the best solution and solve the issues. My bad experience at this office has everything to do with the front staff. I met with him and then scheduled an MRI at another location. I called his office and said I needed a follow up for an MRI, and they scheduled me early morning on a Thursday in person. I ended up calling back a week later and asking if they had any cancelations sooner, I was just a little anxious to know my results. The woman on the phone told me Monday, which I obviously assumed would be the Monday before the original Thursday. I arrange childcare for 2 young kids and drive in traffic from Culpeper to Fairfax. When I arrive, I find out that I had been scheduled on another Monday, further than my original Thursday appointment. The girl I spoke with said, "you could have done this as a telemedicine appointment. But, he's in court today. Also, we didn't confirm this appointment with you...?" I guess she was insinuating that because I didn't get a confirmation, I should have known better? I would have loved to have known this could be done on the phone, how am I supposed to know that?! I was also told by this person he does telemedicine appointments at 1130 & 430. I ended up calling back to make a telemedicine appointment. This time I get Maria on the phone who insists they don't have my MRI results. I call my MRI location which provides my proof that they sent it and it was received, call Maria BACK.. and she tells me I can not have a telemedicine appointment until February 9th (my original appointment that I showed up for was Jan 23rd), she tells me he doesn't do them at 1130, and that he is all booked until the 23rd. I try to explain to her I have had a really difficult time because they scheduled me a day Dr Ryan wasn't in, and she's offering me 2.5 weeks AFTER that and that seems a little much. She was not interested at all and just said, "he's booked." I asked her if Dr Ryan has a business email address so I can write him about all the issues I have been having, she says no, the only email you can write to is ALL STAFF and the whole front desk gets the email. Now, how in the hell am I going to write an email about the front staff, and send it to all front staff? How does he not have a voicemail? Absolutely ridiculous and frustrating. If I were a doctor in this practice, I would have a come to Jesus meeting with the front desk and clarify: 1) patients should be told that certain follow ups can be done on the phone when possible 2) when they miscommunicate about an appointment and a patient is in person in front of you for an appointment you messed up, what is the appropriate response 3) if a patient shows up after you messed up the appointment, they could LIKELY be given an appointment sooner than 2.5 weeks out for a reschedule! 4) I would get an email or voicemail for patients to discuss this kind of issue so that they have an option before leaving a bad review (I think it's most likely that Dr Ryan does have an email or voicemail or could be given a message on a post it note to call a frustrated patient back, she just wasn't willing to give that option) Again I think Dr. Ryan is a good doctor and also a very nice person. I just don't think his front staff runs smooth on any day of the week. My husband has an ongoing foot issue and I have been telling my husband to go see Dr. Ryan as well, so I have faith in him as a podiatrist. I just don't think everyone has patience for the other stuff. You just have to go into it with expectations of difficulty when you need to call for an appointment. read more

Dr. Ryan is super nice, personable, and polite. However, my surgery didn't go well and I have to suffer from the success-guaranteed-but-failed foot surgery. read more

Dr. Ryan is an excellent podiatrist. Both my wife and I have gone to him more than once with foot and toe related issues. Twice he has performed in-office surgery on my affected toes. He is extremely competent and professional. He diagnoses the cause of pain quickly, is able to relieve pain swiftly with minimum intervention, but if surgery is necessary, his work is painless and highly skilled. He is friendly, his staff is first rate and his waiting rooms and treatment rooms are spotlessly clean. I recommend him highly. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Ryan for over a year now. He has helped me out with my foot injury (gotta love kickboxing and running) and even had to do surgery on it. My foot has healed nicely and I wouldn't ask for a better doctor. Be prepared for meeting a doctor who actually takes the time to get to know you and what your concerns are. It is a nice relief since other physicians are not the greatest with their bedside manner or they are looking to get you and out asap. To book appointments it is very easy and I never had a trouble getting in when I need to. The office is in a multiple business building that is easy to find right off of Old Lee Hwy with plenty of parking. read more

Dr. Jay Ryan is my Podiatrist and he operated on my foot at the end of January 2018. From the beginning of the process (in July 2017) he explained what my diagnosis was and what it meant, what we could do surgery wise, and how the recovery process would be, what to expect. Dr. Ryan was patient in listening to my concerns and answering my questions. You can tell Dr. Ryan is passionate about his work as he's very personable, takes time to explain things, and his calm personality is much appreciated because foot surgery is a very scary thought to me in general. I have been to three different Foot Doctors and Dr. Ryan was the person I chose to return to. After the surgery the doctor continued to give excellent care with each follow up appointments. His staff, from the assistants who handle the wrapping of my cast, to removing, to the front office who I called almost daily one week due to dealing with my annoying short term disability company, were always friendly and respectful to me. The doctor and office were also very instant with prescription requests from the pharmacies. I cannot express much appreciation and thanks to Dr. Ryan and his staff. read more

Wow, what a great experience with Dr. Ryan! I went there because of his great reviews and they did not disappoint. He is an immediately likable person with probably the best bedside manner I've experienced! He knew exactly what my problem was and gave me all the options and exactly what to expect. He was a great combination of knowledge and kindness and as a physical therapist I know where I will be sending all of my foot and ankle patients as well as my friends and family. Highly recommend! read more

Having used the Military Treatment Facility network for the better part of 22 years, it is nice to get to see outside specialists. I first saw Dr. Ryan in December 2017 with nerve pain in my right foot. After my first visit it was determined that the cause was in the ankle joint. After 20 years of military service my ankle was not in the best condition, 3 dislocations and a broken bone. Dr Ryan performed surgery just last week. Needless to say I was excited to see Dr. Ryan again to hear what was done during the procedure. Well it appears there was more damage than anticipated, Dr Ryan was able to repair everything and I look forward to getting this cast off and resuming a normal daily activity. read more

Just came back from the first time appointment with the podiatrist, Dr. Jay Ryan. Dr. Ryan was very knowledgeable, personable, and gentle. The staff with which I came in contact treated me in a professional and courteous manner. This being my first time with a podiatrist I was nervous and chatted up some of the other patients who were waiting to be seen. Some were elderly some were young but all of them said great things about Drs. Ryan and Kaas. Dr. Ryan spent over an hour and a half examining, X-raying, and patiently answering my many questions in a manner I could easily understand. He gave me all the options of treatment and recommended the most invasive ONLY IF I found that everything else failed. I had my first shot in the right foot today, he was gentle with the injection and my discomfort with the shot was very minimal. That's saying a lot because I have a low tolerance for pain. He also gave me some good advice for future foot products which will save me some money. While I was being treated I remembered some other procedures I wanted done on my feet and he was happy to do them - minor procedures having to do with my nails and calluses. I am glad Dr. Steven Perez recommended these doctors to me and I'm going to stick with Dr. Ryan I trust him - he's very good. read more

Tremendous, thorough, and professional. All the glowing reviews for Dr. Ryan are spot-on - he's THAT good. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ryan. Having experienced the joys of military medicine as a teenager, I was scared to death to have my ingrown toenail even looked at. Dr. Ryan explained everything he was doing and did so kindly. Dr. Ryan completed he procedure within 30 minutes if that and there was little to no pain afterwards, just tender (and I had to do a lot of walking the next day). I couldn't recommend him enough - he also does a follow-up appointment and it was quick and efficient. If you have a foot concern - you won't be sorry. read more

After going to our pediatrician and the an urgent care facility where they couldn't do anything more than what I did at home I decided to find a podiatrist. My daughter stepped on a broken piece of a wine glass and we were able to get a tiny speck out but a piece was lodge in further than we thought. After reading the reviews here I decided to take her here. The staff was very pleasant and the office clean and organized with light music playing in the background.. I thought it was a nice touch..I love music:) We had no wait and the Doctor explained everything he was going to do in very calm, non rushed way. His demeanor was just naturally very nurturing and kind.. you don't see this often and I was so impressed. He was very knowledgeable about the situation and removed the glass sliver easily.. my daughter had no pain at all.. very gentle indeed. I would not hesitate to go back to this Doctor in the future and would recommend him to friends and family.. I wish all Doctors were like him. Our daughter is recovering well and she also has such positive feelings..she's thinking perhaps she might like to study in this field.. that's an awesome experience in my opinion. Thanks to everyone whom works there and of course Thanks to Dr.Ryan:) read more

I saw Dr. Ryan back in 2013/2014 for various foot issues (stress fractures, neuroma, minor plantar plate tear). He was genuinely concerned with getting me better. I started an injection treatment for the neuroma, but I had an adverse reaction to the injection, and Dr. Ryan very kindly met me after hours to take a look at my foot. After that, I decided to stop the injections and would have loved to continue working with Dr. Ryan to address the neuroma if I hadn't moved to NY. I definitely recommend Dr. Ryan to anyone searching for a great podiatrist in the DC area. P.S. I saw some reviews about the reception staff, and I would like to note that everyone was always extremely kind and attentive to me. read more

I have seen Doctor Ryan a few times and I have to say he is the best doctor out there. He is professional yet down to earth. I like how he takes time to understand his patients concerns and not just write a bunch of prescriptions and order tests. read more

Dr. Jay Ryan is wonderful! During a move across country I fell and broke my ankle. After an extended unscheduled stop over in NC to have surgery I was in need of follow up care in VA. I was referred to Dr. Ryan by one of his fellow podiatrist friends Dr. Jeremy Thomas (another great doctor) in NC. Prior to my first visit Dr. Thomas and Dr. Ryan had spoke numerous times. Dr. Ryan was fully aware of my injury. I was a little nervous about changing doctors being my surgery had been only 2 weeks prior but Dr. Ryan was awesome at making me feel comfortable and at ease. He always took time to first ask how I was feeling and see what concerns I had. Always explained x-rays in detail, healing progress, and next steps. Dr. Ryan is very kind, caring, personal, and never in a rush. He explains in "English terms" and never makes you feel stupid for asking a question or expressing a concern. . I never left his office office with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Ryan! read more

Took my son to Dr Ryan for foot (heel and arch) issues that had been increasingly become worse over the past four years of sports. Over four year son had seen other foot doctors with no success. Based on a referral from a personal Dr friend, went to Dr Ryan. He took the time to listen and then the asked some questions that were exactly related to what he heard. Basically confirming what his assessment. He immediately advised what he strong suspected to be the issue(s) and we took X-rays which clearly proved his assessment. Dr Ryan kindly explained in easy to understand terms what what's causing the issue and the recommended solution. As this was a fairly complex issue effecting both feet, the solution to several steps (no pun intended) many weeks, and a couple of follow ups to ensure positive forward movement. Long story shot, son is 100% fixed, happy & healthily playing multiple sports. Dr Ryan did what other doctors couldn't and I without hesitation or reservation , fully recommend the good Dr! Solid 5 Star to the doctor and his staff who are nice to work with and very accommodating! Only semi negative thing is cell phone reception is almost non existent in his building - first world problem - ha. . Obviously that's well beyond his control. read more

When I tell you Dr. Jay Ryan has the absolute BEST bedside manner I have ever experienced with a Doctor, please believe me! I was referred to Dr. Ryan by a friend and started seeing him the summer of 2017 for several issues. I'm pretty dramatic and absolutely hate pain. One by one, Dr. Ryan listened to my concerns, and addressed each issue until it was resolved. I had surgery in November of 2017 on my left foot and Dr. Ryan and staff took the absolute best care of me from start to finish. If you're looking for an Amazing Podiatrist, please go and visit Dr. Jay Ryan, you won't be disappointed. read more

Dr. Ryan and his staff are awesome. I smashed my toe two days ago - called up his office Monday morning and he was able to see me first thing at 0930. No wait at all. He quickly removed the toenail, bandaged my up and sent me on the way. He and his staff are very friendly and attentive. Dr. Ryan was very professional and clearly knows what he is doing - the last time I had a toenail removed - it took 30 minutes and was a big ordeal - he did it very quickly with no pain at all. He also looked at my foot X-ray and was very knowledgeable about the achilles tendon problems I was experiencing. I highly recommend him. read more

I've recently seen a few DPM's regarding a nasty case of plantar fasciitis and Dr. Ryan by far helped me the most! I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family. read more

I would not recommend Dr Ryan to anybody. I trusted him to have a positive outcome, but instead of correcting my problem, he made it worse than before he operated. It was a straightforward surgery and I am shocked what he did. I have been advised not to go into any more detail. read more

After a botch surgery for a Morton's Neuroma, Dr. Ryan did a 2nd surgery to remove scar tissue and reduce the scar. A few months later, he had to perform another surgery for a 2nd Morton's Neuroma and an Austin Bunionectomy. The recovery for both of my surgeries have been manageable and minimally disruptive because of the care that he takes of his patients. He has a conservative but realistic philosophy and I appreciate that he is actively involved in writing papers on relevant topics. I have great confidence in his abilities and his office staff is very friendly and helpful. I have highly recommended him to people and will continue to do so. He is now the foot and ankle specialist for my family! read more

Dr. Jay Ryan is wonderful, attentive and warm. My chief complain is the front desk Jessica. She is not friendly on my first appointment I figure she must be stressed out from work. On my second appointment she was rude and harsh to me. On my third appointment I needed a casting for my orthothics she said Dr. Ryan is in surgery she was reluctant to give me an appointment when I told her I know that it is the medical assistant who does the casting and not Dr. Ryan she gave me an appointment. When I got into the office when I stand on the front desk she quickly turned her back and avoided me all I wanted to do was pay my bill. When I said excuse me she attack me with derogatory words and then I ask her what did I do she continously giving me unpleasant remarks. I was hoping Dr. Ryan will be able to read this review and have a talk to her receptionist to behave and treat patients nicely. Without patients coming to his office there will be no income for the staff.. read more

Dr. Ryan is beyond excellent. I had been suffering with a very painful toe issue for over a month. After countless and useless appointments with a dismissive and gruff Fairfax podiatrist, Dr. Ryan is a breath of fresh air. I am on the road to recovery now and my nerves regarding my lasting pain have subsided (after just one visit!). Highly recommend! Also, he is super nice and patient! read more

He is a great and very professional doctor who does a superb job. He genuinely cares about his patients and he worked to make sure that I received exemplary care. The results were outstanding, and I wouldn't trust any other doctor as I would him. read more

The only thing I found to be completely unprofessional and quite rude was the receptionist. I waited for a week for a call back regarding information from the practice and all she said was "Well, we have a lot going on here". No apology and a quick exit off of the phone. However, Dr. Ryan was very nice and professional and helped quite a bit. Great Doctor and X-ray tech, not so great receptionist. read more

After having a bad experience at a different podiatrist in McLean while being treated for an ingrown toenail, I searched Yelp and came across the Virginia Foot & Ankle Center. I was hesitant to go to any podiatrist and have the operation done, but Dr. Jay Ryan was as fabulous as it gets. He performed a permanent ingrown toenail removal in less than 30 minutes. I can honestly say it was as painless as it could possibly be, and I'm not the best when it comes to anesthesia and poking/prodding. He talked me through the entire thing, answered all of my questions, and made pleasant conversation during my visit. I would truly recommend this practice to anyone. Both Dr. Ryan and the nurses were genuine and seemed knowledgeable about the field. Would go back 100%! read more

I saw Dr. Ryan last year for pain issues with my foot. He is great. He made recommendations for shoes and other things. I would highly recommend him. read more

I had an emergency visit with Dr. Jay Ryan yesterday. I have neuropathy in my legs and had developed a deep wound on my big toe that needed immediate attention. The staff couldn't have been more helpful or courteous. They fit me in to their busy schedule. Dr. Ryan spent about an hour with me cleaning my wound and putting on a graft. The office took the time to call my insurance to get emergency approval for the procedure. Dr Ryan hand wrote all the instructions for my aftercare. Both the doctor and the staff stayed after hours to finish the procedure. Both the doctor and the staff was outstanding in every way read more

I had been having foot pain for a number of years and it was getting worse. When I finally decided to get it looked at, I selected Virginia Foot & Ankle Center because it was covered by my insurance. I made an appointment to have x-rays and was pleasantly surprised when I met Dr. Ryan. He is very personable, extremely knowledgeable and has the ability to explain complex medical issues is easy-to-understand terms. Dr. Ryan reviewed the images and quickly diagnosed a severe stress fracture in both feet. After discussing the probable causes and the various treatment options, he recommended a course of action that was the least invasive. I have been back for two follow-up visits and the results have been fantastic. As such, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a good podiatrist. read more

Excellent doctor. The staff fit my husband in on the same day we called, even though he was a new patient, due to a severe gout attack. I really appreciate that they made that effort. Dr. Ryan was very knowledgeable of the condition, and was patient, explaining thoroughly the treatment plan and giving options. I highly recommend him and his staff; we'd definitely go back to this practice. read more
