WHO WE ARE
Pediatric Medicine of Cartersville opened its doors in 2002 when Dr. Ryan moved his family to Cartersville to start his own practice. He and his wife, Jeannette, married after completing their pediatric residency and worked together in Ashland, Kentucky prior to settling down in Georgia.
Dr. Ryan grew up in Corning, New York and obtained his undergraduate degree in Bioengineering from Syracuse University in 1988. He graduated from medical school at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1993 and completed his pediatric residency at Stony Brook Children's Medical Center in 1996. He is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics.
Whether running, doing calisthenics or a marathon row, exercising has always been an important part of Dr. Ryan’s routine. He enjoys growing his own food and loves working the compost pile. He looks forward to cool nights camping in the woods and building fires with the kids. He is a wonderful storyteller and a gifted teacher. He and Jeannette homeschool their six children.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Our Approach to Speech and Communication Disorders in Young Children
Dr. Ryan highly recommends Dr. James Macdonald’s ground-breaking work on the treatment of speech and communication disorders in young children, including that of autism-spectrum disorders. Dr. Macdonald’s books, Play To Talk and Communicating Partners are available on Amazon. Please visit www.jamesdmacdonald.org for more information.
Our Approach to Vaccinations
Dr. Ryan respects each parent’s choice to decide what is best for their child’s health. For those who choose not to vaccinate according to CDC recommendations, Dr. Ryan guides them through a safe and reasonable alternate schedule.
