Patient Reviews
I really liked the Doctor.
To the lady who said he has terrible bedside manners. I just came from seeing him today for the first time and he was nothing but kind "except when he had me try to lift my arm" lol and very professional in every way. Within 2 hours of being there I received a call from his nurse Stacey confirming a surgery date! Nothing but good vibes from him and the rest of his staff!!! Thank You!!!
Back for a 2nd Cortisone shot in Left Knee. It's going well, played 5 rounds of golf in last 6 days. Be back next year if necessary. Thx
A good, experienced doctor listens to you. He diagnoses the problem and gives you the solution. I recommend him .At this moment, I am still following treatment with him. The rest of the months reveal the value and treasure of this doctor. At that time, we give the final evaluation.
Right Knee Swelling and Fluid Inflammation. Dr. Dunlay and his staff are the best!
He is friendly, professional, knows his stuff, and brief without making you feel like he is rushed. He did a magnificent job on my badly torn right rotator cuff. The surgery went smoothly and after 3 months physical therapy, I am back 98%! ( the other 2% I expect back within a year from surgery date, it does take time to heal fully. I know cuz I am a retired rehab nurse!)Highly recommend. His office works like a well oiled machine. Staff are efficient, accommodating, friendly.Go for it! No worries mate!And if There are- he will answer to your satisfaction.
So quick & efficient! Waiting area is comfortable and clean. My appt with Dr Dunlay after my MRi was explained clearly and he answered all of my questions and concerns
Friendly quick service
Dr Dunlay has treated me for various ailments and has always done an excellent job. Steve Hamilton
Dr Dunlay has been great at patching up worn out parts and ORA is awesome with the team help. Need bionic parts now to replace everything!
Dr. Dunlay and Team always so efficient and kind!
Excellent service, friendly and respectful staff. The doctor explained the treatment options clearly and I understood that they were both good choices.
Dr. Dunlay was able to get me in quickly and appointment was very timely. He took his time with me and was very thorough. Thank you
Dr. Ryan Dunlay from ORA Orthopedics did my knee surgery and has given me steroid shots in my knee, and he always asks me if I have any questions, he tells me what he is doing, he always asks me what I’ve been doing what’s been going on, very pleasant nature I like my office visits him
Staff was friendly & quick to get in to see Dr Dunlay. Dr Dunlay was very understanding & thorough about my injury & concerns. Very pleased with my visit
Dr Dunlay is excellent communicator in that he listens and explains well what is wrong and delivers a plan of action that helps. Great doctor
Very professional and knowledgeable and I was pleased with my health visit. Would recommend him highly.
Two years ago Dr. Dunlay did TKR on my right leg with great results. So it was a no brainer to go back for my other knee. He’s thorough and personable. The waiting room at ORA was packed, but my wait was minimal and the whole process of setting up my second surgery was smooth. I definitely recommend Dr Dunlay and his team.
Dr Dunlay listens well to my issues and provided excellent care.
Everyone was very friendly, professional and helpful.
Amazing Doctors and Staff
Professional, timely.
Love Dr. Dunlay. He repaired my shoulder last Oct. Answers all your questions. Never seems to rush. Say him yesterday for my knee. Spent time with me even having nice conversation about our fishing trip. He's the guy I recommend.
Dr. Has been great - very professional!
Dr Dunlay was “spot on” with his diagnosis and treatment of my knee and hip problems. Our discussions were focused and friendly. He presented a couple of alternatives but we settled on a steroid injection for my knee and PT for my hip. Hope to be back to running soon.
I have only received care from Dr. Dunlay & PA Stefanie Coiner. I highly recommend them, they are caring individuals. They represent ORA to the max.
Dr. Dunlay was very knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient. I appreciated his candor and expertise.
Personable, took time to answer my questions. On time didn't need to wait. Left with a plan for future action. Fwlt he heard my concerns.
Listened well and used my knee Xray to chat with me about options for current and future treatments. Kind, too!
I had a good experience at ORA Bettendorf-Dr. Dunlay was wonderful-Very professional-Nice-Funny-I’m sure sometime I’ll need his services and I will go back to him-All the staff was wonderful-Would highly recommend it!!!

It was wonderful All team good take care of me …i feel very good after injection thank you .
Very happy I went to see Dr Dunlay!! Very Proactive!!!
Had right rotator cuff surgery- only 3 small incisions. All went as explained. Dr Dunlay did an excellent job and Genesis East SameDay surgery did a professional job. Would recommend.

First visit with Dr.Dunlay. He was very nice
Always a positive experience. Would recommend to anyone needing relief.
Dr Dunlay does a really great job when does a cortisone injection. I’m so glad he’s my doc!
I had Rotator Cuff surgery on 10 Apr '24. Dr Dunlay had to put in a graft. I was told it was a pretty painful process and recovery. Dr Dunlay did a wonderful job. Incisions were healed in less than 2 weeks and my pain level was minimal.
Ora Dr Ryan dunley and staff Dr dunley did great job on both hips and right knee great job thankyou
Dr. Dunlay and his staff were very nice and very professional.
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.
I was seen for elbow and hip after injury. The MRIs were before the injury so I don't think I got a correct diagnosis. My elbow and arm are worse. Swelling, skin color change and now bicep. I have little use of rt arm and no answers. I was just referred back but I have to wait 2 weeks to make appointment because I have a $35 balance, I had copay the day of visit but she said they bill me. I get paid once a month. I did like the Dr and staff and will schedule a visit when I get paid. I do feel it was a wasted visit because he relied on pre-injury MRIs even though it was stated in paperwork and verbally. He said it was my back and I now have current MRIs of my neck and back, so hopefully I get answers next visit.
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.
Dr. Dunlay is a very good, helpful and friendly physician.
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.
Dr. Dunlay was friendly and knowledgeable. He explained the procedure to me in terms I could easily understand.
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 professional, he talked with me about my options and what to expect. I was as well impressed with his team, I feel very confident that I will be in good hands under there care.
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 took care of all my health needs...I was very satisfied....
Been fantastic to work with, did a great job with my surgery. Would recommend to anyone that needs orthopedic attention.
Dr. Dunlay drained fluid off knee & provided steroid injection which by the way he gives a great injection & I barely felt it. Dr. Dunlay is top notch, knowledgeable & always keeps his clinic moving on time & saw me way before my appointment time. Knee is feeling better & hoping relief of pain continues. Thank you to Dr. Dunlay & staff for great care!
Great Dr. He takes time to listen, evaluate and treat. Dr. Dunlay did an amazing job on my ACL reconstruction and would choose him again if I had to.
Dr. Dunlay is very pleasant, explains everything that needed to be done for my care. Takes the time to answer all my questions, and I have a lot. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Doc explained all my issues and answered all my questions. Top notch doc and team over there with ORA.
Dr. Dunlay did an amazing job on my broken wrist. He answered any questions or concerns I had that eased whatever I might have been feeling. I highly recommend him as a surgeon at ORA,
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.
