Dr. Patrick Ryan is a native Texan and attended undergraduate school at Texas A&M University. He had interest in the dental field throughout college, but decided to take a year off after college and worked as a dental assistant. The office was a pediatric dental office and he loved working with the children. This started him down the path of becoming a pediatric dentist. Dr. Ryan attended Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas, for his 4 years of dental training. He also completed 2 years of pediatric dental training at Baylor where he was a Chief Resident at Children's Hospital and Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. Dr. Ryan started practicing at Grin in Plano, Texas, in 1998.

Dr. Ryan and wife, Kristin, have 4 wonderful children: Whitney, Hannah, Grant, and Will. When not working he spends most of his time with his family, playing and coaching sports, and traveling. He also enjoys reading.
Practice Philosophy
I always treat the patients and their parents as I would like to be treated. My goal is to have a comfortable environment for my families to receive the highest quality dental care. My treatment philosophy is to be conservative and informative. I believe that if the parents are given all the information they will make the best decision for their children.
I truly enjoy seeing children's smiling faces…especially after dental work has been completed. Having patients happy, excited and looking forward to their next visit lets us know we are doing our job right!
