Scheduling with Dr. Ryan Finnan

Dr. Ryan Finnan now focuses primarily on orthopaedic trauma and injury care. He is no longer accepting new patients with chronic foot/ankle problems — hammertoes, masses, lumps, bumps, Achilles pain, heel pain,  or chronic foot and/or ankle pain. If you suffer from one of these conditions please schedule an appointment with one of our foot & ankle specialists or podiatrists: Nicholas Gates, MD; John Linz, MD; Gordon Yun, DPM; Matthew Connolly, DPM.

Dr. Finnan will see patients with acute injuries occurring within the past two months, previously established patients, patients who request to see him and patients referred to him by another provider.
