“I believe in meeting people where they are—whether that’s navigating mental health, managing menopause, or handling everyday health concerns—with compassion, clarity, and care.”
Dr. Ryan Dick (He/Him/His) is a family medicine provider with nearly 20 years of experience caring for patients at every stage of life. After almost two decades spanning pediatrics, obstetrics, psychiatry, and women's health, he now focuses his telehealth practice on one of the most under-served transitions in medicine: perimenopause and menopause.
This stage brings far more than hot flashes. As estrogen and progesterone shift, many women experience anxiety, depression, mood swings, disrupted sleep, brain fog, changes in libido, and genitourinary symptoms such as vaginal dryness, discomfort, and recurrent urinary issues — symptoms that are common, treatable, and too often dismissed. Dr. Dick's background in psychiatry and family medicine gives him a whole-person perspective: he understands how these changes affect not only how a woman feels day to day, but also her relationships, her work, and the bonds she shares with her partner and children.
Dr. Dick offers hormone therapy alongside other evidence-based hormonal and non-hormonal medication options, always tailored to the individual. He is known for careful, conservative prescribing — starting thoughtfully, adjusting gradually, and aiming for the lowest effective dose that relieves symptoms while minimizing side effects. His goal is straightforward: to help women feel like themselves again.
Care is provided entirely through telehealth, making it easy to be seen from home and on your own schedule. The best hormone treatments are usually based on symptom management, but lab testing is also easy to accomplish.
Dr. Dick focuses on patients aged 30+.

Why did you decide to become a family physician? I chose family medicine because I love building long-term relationships with patients. I wanted to be the kind of doctor who can walk with people through every stage of life. There’s something really special about being able to care for the whole person, and sometimes the whole family. I love that it is a job that really keeps you on your toes and makes you think creatively for solutions!
What do you like to do outside of work? I love being outside. Come snow, rain, or shine- I live for my quick jog outdoors and getting my "forest bathing" time in as well. Small date nights with the wife, chilling and watching Netflix works too!
Do you have any pets? Our cat Luna runs the household and is quite the personality. She meows at everyone "Good Morning!" and spends lots of time with each family member throughout the day. She hops from room to room every night, making sure everyone gets a chance at snuggles!
What’s your favorite book? "A wrinkle in time" and it's not even close. A childhood favorite. I love the fact that Meg is in search of her sense of self and worth- and finds it. We are all on that same journey.
