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.

I was shocked by how detailed the explanation of the injury was. They answered all my questions and assured me it was not a serious injury. They gave me exercises I could do at home, so I don't even need physical therapy! Everyone was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and efficient! I've already recommended it to other people!
