Ryan Thomas B MD

Thomas Ryan is a OB/​GYN practicing in New Orleans and in Metairie. Unilocal has two listings for him — one for each of his office locations. Both offices are clean and have ample free parking, so pick the location closest to you — you will get five-​star medical treatment at either.
Dr Ryan was my gynecologist long before I became I mom, and he is to this day. I’ve been going to him for over 20 years, and I have no complaints at all. He is a fun and silly person who clearly understands how ridiculously uncomfortable it is (mentally and sometimes physically) to have a gynecological exam, and he will chat and laugh with his patients to get them through the experience with minimal discomfort. He has had three nurses since I started seeing him, and every one of them has been warm, funny, kind, spunky, and well. .. just the kind of woman you’d want to go have a drink with.
Dr. Ryan is very much NOT an alarmist. He is quite easy-​going, and his confidence is extremely reassuring, especially for nervous soon-​to-​be moms. His jovial and relaxed bedside manner aside, however, he is also extremely knowledgeable and reacts quickly to save lives when the situation arises, as it did with the birth of my first child. After a brutally long labor, Dr. Ryan indulged my fears for my own pain with sympathy and good humor until the second my daughter began experiencing distress in utero. At that moment, he became all business, moving extremely quickly to pull my girl out with forceps while barking at the nurses and other people there so they too would react quickly on her arrival. It turns out that the umbilical cord had wrapped around her neck twice and was choking her with my pushing. The second he knew there was a problem, he acted amazingly and ensured that I would have a lovely, healthy daughter instead of a sad tale to tell.
I know he takes Blue Cross, Blue Shield, because that is the type of insurance I have. I could not recommend him more highly. Additionally, I see that he has scored a 100% satisfaction rating at healthgrades based on 13 of his other patients’ surveys (I did not do one).
