Patient Reviews
Went for a possible knee replacement and was sorry to hear it would not be wise to do with my current health conditions. I have to agree after he explained the possible complications of surgery at this time. He was very thorough with his recommendations and was comforting in doing so and I will see him in the near future again after getting things taken care of.
Very pleased with entire process
He was very prompt and answered all my questions relative to my problem with my elbow. He explained the options I had to help cure my problem.
I'm at 2 weeks post rotator cuff surgery. I am very pleased with Dr Dunlay, and anticipate being very happy lwith the outcome of the surgery.
Dr Ryan Dunlay took care of the pain in my shoulders and knee. He’s very considerate and listened to my concerns and needs. Thanks so much.
Super informative, very helpful as what to expect and next steps to recovery! This gentleman knows what he is doing. Will update as recovery progresses!
Always very friendly and personable.
Dr. Dunley was very patient and kind with my 91 year old mother.
Excellent service from the staff and the doctor. The doctor made me comfortable and presented all my options. He was extremely helpful and answered all my questions. He helped me choose the best way forward. Thank you!
Got sent there by a different provider. Explained everything. Very helpful.
Dr Dunlay is amazing! From first visit through the surgery physical therapy, and now 8 months with new knee - he has been the best dr ever. Kept me updated every visit, very smooth hospital stay, encouraged me through physical therapy, . . . Now I walk totally pain free. I have a whole new outlook. Thank you Dr Dunlay and the whole staff.
Very good appointment. I was well cared for and well informed of how to continue recovering.
Wonderful,caring Doctor.He did my shoulder replacement surgery and gives me shots in my arthritic knees.
I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Dunlay! Very profesional and receptive to my situation ! I would definetly go back if needed and highly recomend him for anyone with shoulder issues I
Doctor Dunlay is great. Had a cortisone shot in each knee and already see improvement. Whole staff is very friendly and caring.
I have been seeing Dr Dunlay for arthritis pain in my knees and shoulder. He gives me cortisone injections that give me relief quickly. Most recently I went in because of increasing stiffness when getting up and going down stairs. Now I get up without noticing anything and stairs are no longer a problem. Dr Dunlap listens to me gives me solutions. I highly recommend him!
I had total knee replacement with Dr Dunlay. Very smooth experience. Everyone at ORA is very helpful. Had my surgery at Crow Valley outpatient. They were very kind and professional. My scar is healed at six weeks. Positive experience. Nobody likes surgery, but the outcome will definitely be worth it.
Great service, professional and on time
Dr. Dunlay was very good at explaining what the next step was to take care of my problem. He listened while I explained what I needed for a time frame and was happy to accommodate. We set a surgery date and I couldn't be more excited to get this procedure done.
I adore Dr. Dunlay and his PA Stephanie. Dr Dunlay is professional and kind , he doesn't just treat me like a patient. Hands down he's the best!

Dr. Dunlay was great to see, he was down to earth and treated me very well. I will be going back to see him for knee replacement surgery in the fall. - Daniel Fox
Dr. Dunlay listened to my concerns, where my pain was and made a plan of action. He’s a very caring man and made me feel comfortable, heard and that he truly cares.
Very informative and willing to listen to my concerns.
Great job ORA and Dr. Dunlay. Everyone has been very nice. Dr Dunlay was very thorough and patient explaining my process. I will definitely be going to them for any future repairs.
I've been going to ORA for many years. They are very efficient and pleasant. Last time I was there to get steroid shots in my knees I was there for 20 minutes and done. Dr. Dunlap is very nice and knows just where to place the shots. Very good experience.
A little bit of a wait but once I saw the doctor everything went smoothly.
Very knowledgeable and thorough with a great bed side manner!
Dr. Dunlay was professional, knowledgeable, took the time to talk to me. He eased the fears I had about my torn ACL and meniscus. I was nervous going in the appointment, but I was blown away with how great Dr. Dunlay and the staff were.
Very compassionate and understanding of my needs medically. Been working with doctor on several issues and not only attentive but keeps me informed of future needs medically:
I’ve had great experience with Dr Dunlay he has delivered as promised my shoulder repair is in the Physical therapy process and continues to make significant progress advanced ahead of schedule Thanks Dr Ryan Dunlay
My appointment with Dr. Dunlay was for a shoulder issue. He reviewed the x-rays with me, prescribed a course of action which included physical therapy, and also diagnosed that in all probability I had carpal tunnel. Scheduled testing for that and a follow-up visit. He is thorough and explained everything to me clearly. I feel very fortunate that I was referred to him when the ORA surgeon I had been seeing retired.
Dr. Dunlay was very easy to talk to and answered the questions I had. I would definitely recommend him if you need to see someone.
Very courteous and professional. Discussed options and made viable recommendations. Would go back.
Did not have a long wait and things were explained well. Dr. Dunlap took time to listen to questions and answered questions in simple terms. I am less concerned about my reversed shoulder replacement.
Best shoulder doctor by far....he's a doctor that cares and doesn't see you has just another number I highly suggest you go to him
Dr Dunlay was direct, professional and looked straight into my eyes when he was speaking. I feel confident in allowing him to do surgery on my shoulder
Dr. Dunlay took great care of me. His staff are all very helpful and professional.
Dr. Dunlay was able to see me within days of having referral submitted by my primary care doctor. During visit, he thoroughly explained procedure needed for my hand.
Dr. Dunlay has completed several surgeries for me and I completely trust him with my care. I appreciate his bed side manner and directness on what to expect post surgery. Stefanie Coiner is fantastic to work with as well and is always there to answer any questions I have in between visits.
Very good at his practice. Will definitely go back. Loved his bedside manner and left with little to no pain. He drained my knee and put cortisone in it.
Dr Dunlay was professional and courteous. He listened to my concerns about the pain I was having and explained what he was going to do. ORA as a whole was great.
ORA and Dr Ryan Dunlay was very professional, listened to my issues about my pain and took care of it. Thank you.
Very good at explaining things. Very understanding with change In surgery dates
On target!
So far I am impressed with the way Dr. Dunlay listens to my symptoms and concerns using eye contact and an empathetic tone and smile. The little things like that are important to me as a nurse myself. I have had more progress and action in one visit than I have had in the last year and a half of seeing a handful of other doctors. Hoping to find a reason and treatment for my pain that will work this time!
Initial preoperative consult went well. Dr. Dunlap is very knowledgeable and direct in his style.
I was thankful that my appointment went well and the facility was peaceful
I was fortunate enough to get Dr. Dunlay when I was having trouble with my fingers/hand. Iâm deathly afraid of needles and he did a wonderful job putting me at ease as well as fixing my hand! I recommend him highly!
Dr. Dunlay is clear, kind and can be trusted.
He has done surgery on both of my ankles and very pleased with outcome. He is very professional !
This was a great visit. The appointment was on time, the staff was pleasant, and Dr Dunlay’s treatment was very effective. He is familiar with my issue, discussed options, and endorsed more conservative measures. I will readily return, if needed, for further care. Thank you.
Dr. Dunlay did an amazing job on my son’s shoulder surgery. He got him back to playing sports in less than 6 months. He also helped me out with my knee. I would recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care.
Personable, explained procedure, everything done carefully. Will see him again!
Got in fast and he explained everything to me. Dr. Dunlay was friendly.
Dr. Dunlay has been very caring , professional, and patient with me. He has been treating my painful bone on bone knees now for the past yearâ being very honest and upfront about my options, He is sympathetic to my needs. And so far, I have been able to avoid surgery. He has helped me so muchâ I can walk and climb stairs without excruciating pain. Glennda Thank you Dr.!
Dr Dunlay listened attentively while I was explaining my problem and gave me a couple of choices on how to proceed. It was an unhurried and pleasant first visit.
Dr. Dunlay took great care of my injury. He asked the right questions, diagnosed my symptoms and set a corrective course of treatment. I can’t be more satisfied with my treatment. He also has a sense of humor!

I recommend doctor Dunlay an awesome surgeon,very professional. The surgery he did on my ankle after I had broken it. So far he has done an amazing job. .
I was diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear. Dr. Dunlay explained to me in detail what needed to be done. I had my surgery early July everything went very well (my surgery was out patient). I had no issues at all and I had minimal pain. Physical therapy is going wonderfully a couldn’t have been in better hands. Thank you Dr. Dunlay
Dr. Dunlay was friendly and helpful. I would recommend him anyone.
I had a total knee replacement a year ago. I had been putting it off. Dr.Dunlay walked me through all options and we did what we could to put the replacement off. Finally surgery was my last option. It went so well that I was saying that I wished I would have done it sooner.
What I want in a surgeon is honesty about expectations (pain, and intense pt.). I really don’t care about bedside manner as much as I care about skills and rate of infection. He can’t answer a question that isn’t asked folks! He takes pre and post op seriously! The staff scheduled all the appointments for my knee replacement. He was the ONLY surgeon who offered to help me, (always had the wait until your 50) and he was realistic about the recovery! I’m thankful for him and his team!
I think Dr Dunlay is a wonderful Dr and I’m so grateful I got blessed with him to do my surgery and aftercare. Know if you have Dr Dunlay your in great hands.
Stephanie lv her great personality Dr Ryan Dunley staff have been pleasant ?
Dr. Dunlay was very professional and explained everything and answered my questions. I felt confident going into surgery that everything would go well. Highly recommend Dr. Dunlay and his staff!
I had issues with my hip. Ordered needed tests to make the diagnosis. Explained diagnosis and took time to answer questions
Dr Dunlay reviewed my CT Scan with me. I'm so glad that I had the appointment with him. He showed me on the scan where my injuries are and I was very surprised that I had not gone to see him sooner. I was in pain but did not realize the significance of my injury. He was very nice and informative. I hope that my injury improves and look forward to my next visit.
Dr. Dunlay did a great job at getting the pain in my knee and leg to go away. With just the shot of cortisone and one pt visit I was back and at it.
Dr. Dunlay and staff at ORA have been a fantastic group to work with. Dr. Dunlay rebuilt my left shoulder and did an amazing job. He just did a complete shoulder replacement for my mom who I recommend her to go to. Recently I have developed numbness in my right hand and called for an appointment with Dr. Dunlay. It was discovered that I have a nerve trapped that is causing the numbness. Looks like maybe surgery after so follow up testing. I highly recommend Dr. Dunlay and the ORA staff.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Dunlap twice. My first visit was reviewing my MRI. He explained my situation in terms I would understand; informed me what needed to be done. My second visit was arranging everything for surgery and taking home the necessary items for after surgery. Dr. Dunlap assistant was a joy to talk with; she was very detailed in her part getting everything prepare for my big day. I’m in the best of hands.
Excellent staff
Dr. Dunlay is very attentive and extremely proficient at surgery. After six weeks, I feel my arm and shoulder, moving back down the right road to recovery.
They sure take care you..I recommend ORA
Dr. Dunlay was attentive explained what he wanted to do and the reasons for it. He had a great bedside manner.
Dr Dunlay was very informative about my injury and extremely helpful in explaining the situation and what I need to do and what the treatment will be . He was very clear about my X-rays and the next steps. Highly recommend him.
I went to ORA for help with an injury to my knee. I hurt it doing martial arts and didn’t take time for it to heal… so eventually it got worse. Dr. Dunlay did a great job of treating my injured knee as well as helping me determine what sports I could still do while it healed. With a procedure he was able to do right there in the office, along with replacing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing with swimming laps for a short while, my knee is much better and I should be back on the mats next week! Dr. Dunlay helped me get back to doing what I love!
I recently saw Dr. Ryan Dunlay and he was great. He explained my condition well and offered the best solution for getting me up and going again. He is very kind and loves what he does and his enthusiasm shows.
Dr dunlay was absolutely amazing! I came in not knowing I had a labrum tear that was pretty extensive. He walked me through the entire process and answered every question I had along the way. He came out after surgery to ensure that my mom knew everything and felt like she had all of her questions answered as well. Would recommend to anyone!
