About Ryan Neff, MD
Ryan Neff, MD, is a Missouri native who was born and raised in Columbia, Missouri. Dr. Neff graduated from the University of Missouri School of Medicine. He then completed his residency in otolaryngology at the University of Kentucky. Following his residency training, he moved back to Missouri with his wife and children to live closer to family.
Dr. Neff became interested in ENT medicine because he was fascinated by the range of ear, nose, and throat conditions he could treat. A significant amount of ENT care focuses on helping patients with areas of their bodies they rely on the most. This includes areas that severely impact quality of life such as hearing, breathing, speaking, and swallowing.
Dr. Neff is a general otolaryngologist who offers high-quality care to children and adults in the northland. He is particularly interested in caring for patients with chronic ear disease, hearing and balance disorders, chronic sinus infections, nasal obstructions, thyroid nodules, and voice and swallowing disorders.
