Amanda Ryan, D.O is an interventional cardiologist who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of atherosclerosis. She has a particular interest in women’s cardiovascular health. Dr. Ryan started her education at a private liberal arts college in Naperville, IL – North Central College graduating in 1998. She received her doctor of osteopathic medicine degree in 2003 at Kansas City University of Bio Medical Sciences in Kansas City, MO. Dr. Ryan then completed her internal medicine residency and served as chief medicine resident at St. Louis University Hospital in St. Louis, MO. Her cardiology and interventional cardiology training were completed at Largo Medical Center through Nova Southeastern Medical School in Fort Lauderdale, FL in 2011. 

Dr. Ryan is originally from central Illinois, having grown up in a small farming community. Her career goals have always included bringing top quality, cutting-edge cardiovascular care to people in rural America. Her grandfather had a weak heart after suffering his first heart attack at age 36 and she has always been determined to help patients just like her grandfather by bringing advanced cardiac care to their communities. Family has always been important to Dr. Ryan and she followed her beloved aunts and mother into the medical field. In her limited free time, she enjoys family life with her soulmate Imari Williams and her beautiful bonus children Neo and Imaya Williams who travel between Florida and New Mexico. Plans often include trips to visit or support extended family members in their soccer, football, softball or any other endeavor. 

The opportunity to relocate to Carlsbad, New Mexico and build a cardiovascular program essentially from scratch presented itself about seven years ago. Dr Ryan, along with her hand selected team of medical professionals, has slowly built a well-respected, quality regional cardiology program. Her skill set includes cardiac and peripheral arterial and venous interventional procedures. Her plans include building a state-of-the-art outpatient cardiovascular surgical center here in Carlsbad while continuing to practice at Carlsbad Medical Center and Artesia General Hospital. She will continue to serve the entire SE New Mexico region and bring innovative, compassionate, value-based care to the area.
