About Ryan Mark

My name is Ryan D. Mark, MD, CAQSM, and I am a primary care sports medicine doctor at the UF Health Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute. I received my medical degree in 2016 from the Saint James School of Medicine in the Grenadines and completed a three-year residency in family medicine at West Virginia University Medicines United Hospital Center in 2019. In 2020, I completed a primary care sports medicine fellowship at the Military National Capital Consortium, where I practiced sports medicine globally.

As a lifelong athlete, I enjoy working with other athletes and people who wish to get active again following injury. The opportunity to restore a patients ability to remain active whether in sports or chasing their grandchildren is a responsibility I take seriously.

Before joining the University of Florida, I worked with U.S. military personnel and their families, both overseas and within the United States, as a sports medicine physician.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our dogs. I have been fortunate to travel the world and enjoy learning about different cultures and their foods.

Dr. Mark is one of the best orthopedic physicians that I've been treated by. He wants to meet the needs of his patients, make them comfortable (with regard to their orthopedic issues) and help them get moving. He is willing to use all of the tools at his disposal to accomplish this. I don't think that a patient could ask for anything more than this.
