Dr. Charles Ryan is a very thorough physician. He answers all of your questions and goes over your records with you and I will definitely come back to him.

Doctor Charles exceeded all of my expectations replacing my hip. I had my other hip replaced several years ago and haven't had any discomfort with the hip Dr. Charles replaced for me. I am borderline obese and he was willing to take on the tough job and saved me from continuing to suffer withiwith pain. If I ever need the services of an excellent, caring orthopedic surgeon...he would be my first choice.

Dr. Charles was professional and knowledgeable. His technician Alicia went above and beyond in every possible way. She is a rare find and excellent at her job. I’ve never had any one in the medical field be so helpful. Thanks again for everything!!

Dr. Charles and his assistant Whitney are worth way more than these five stars could ever portray. I broke my femur last November and ended up needing to have surgery. It was life altering, but I can't imagine having any one else besides them along the way. He's so patient and thorough, I've never had a doctor take his time explaining things like Dr. Charles does. Aside from his knowledge and the incredible job he did making me bionic ;) he never rushes you through your appointment, he genuinely cares to be there for you fully. Not many doctor's make you feel this way. AND WHITNEY...she is just as amazing as he is. Never a day that I couldn't call or text to talk to her about what was going on and she's always there for me. I'm so so grateful for them through all of this. Thank you Dr. Charles and Whitney!

My knee replacement surgery with Dr. Charles was a comforting experience. While surgery is not easy Dr. Charles was most compassionate & answered all of my questions & concerns. I would most definitely recommend Dr.Charles for your orthopedic needs.

Dr. Charles did an excellent job diagnosing and treating my wife. He spent a lot of time discussing the diagnosis and treatment options, and post-treatment she has had sustainted resolution of her symptions. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Charles is a great doctor! I was able to see him quickly and I was called to the back before even finishing my paperwork. He was patient and thorough with his exam. His assistant, Whitney, couldn’t have been more pleasant and helpful. Highly recommend.

Dr. Charles is thorough. He takes his time to explain everything in detail. Everyone in the office is nice.

Dr. Charles was spectacular! I saw him for a knee problem and he suggested a steroid injection in the knee. Wasn't looking forward to the injection but he was exceptionally skilled at his gift and I didn't even feel a thing! Today I can bare weight on that knee with little to no paid at all. Recommendations, EXCELLENT!!!!!

Dr. Charles operated on my broken hip the night I broke it In October. I am age 84. He placed a rod in it which he called a nail. It is held in place by two screws. (It was called a nail, but looks like a huge rod to me) Soon after the operation, which I believe was later that night or the next day, he told me I could put my full weight on that leg. Of course, it hurt bad. There was hardly a scar, so my wife and I wonder how this huge rod could have been done in such a small area. That was October, and today is February. He told me I did have several months of recovery. Therapy has helped greatly. I spent two or three days in the hospital and they immediately got me out of the bed. It hurt bad. Next, I was in an extended stay rehab unit for about three weeks and they too had me on my feet quickly. Baby steps at best. Yes they hurt too. After that I had in house therapy for a couple of weeks. Nurses, dieticians, occupational therapists, physical therapists and then they turned me over to physical therapists remotely. Again, a couple of months and I'm almost able to walk on my own without my rollator. I definitely recommend a rollator and cane over just the walker as soon as possible, as I feel one is much more mobile and gets better exercise being moving is so much easier. I don’t hurt now. Hard to believe. Dr. Charles is young enough to be my grandson, but my kind of guy. Great young man. From the beginning I feel he was totally honest with me as he was today when we visited. Good luck to you if you need an Orthopedic Specialist. Ryan Charles, MD is a good one to select.

I was able to see Dr Charles almost immediately after my knee injury. He explained my situation and my alternatives, never making me feel like a surgery was my only option. My knee is much improved, and his willingness to work with me is the big reason why.

My visits to Dr. Charles at Southern Orthopaedic Specialist are always great! The staff is pleasant and courteous and the waiting area at the Metairie Rd. location is spacious and comfortable. Dr. Charles is a good listener and goes the extra mile to explain all medical details...his shots don't hurt either! I highly recommend Dr. Charles and Southern Orthopaedic Specialists.

Dr Ryan Charles is not only knowledgeable concerning his speciality but shows genuine compassion for his patients after visiting many drs it was only the providence of God that sent us to Dr Ryan Charles who properly assessed 1 problem but was keen enough to uncover another problem thank you Dr Ryan Charles and Whitney and staff for your compassion knowledge and willingness to help make the lives of many better

Dr. Charles and the staff at Southern Orthopaedic are outstanding. Dr. Charles listened to me and took the time to answer all of my questions and we developed a treatment plan that is helping tremendously. I highly recommend Dr. Charles!

After having numerous surgeries in the past at other hospitals, the follow up treatment, care and concern of Southern Orthopaedic Specialists was exceptional. I would recommend Dr. Ryan Charles to anyone considering knee replacement. I attended two of his seminars prior to my decision and when I realized he was using the latest surgical technics with the MAKO unit I knew this was the procedure for me. It worked very well for both knees. The pain is gone. Thank you Dr. Charles.

Dr. Charles was thorough and explained everything I had questions on and also provided written information so that I didn't have to take notes or worry about forgetting something important.

Dr. Charles did an outstanding job outlining treatment options for my chronic knee pain. He wasn’t in a hurry and answered all of my questions. He has an excellent technique for drainage and injections, which I found to be very tolerable.

Had a wonderful experience from being able to schedule the appointment, efficiently checking in and seeing Dr. Ryan Charles who is kind, competent and excellent diagnostician. He answered all our questions - I would definitely recommend Dr. Ryan Charles / Southern Orthopedic Specialists

Dr Charles performed my hip surgery and explained everything to me. I was in a biking accident and really wasn’t in the market for a new hip but the surgery went well and he told me that I’m making good progress in my recovery. Thanks Dr Charles.
