I am so glad I was referred to Dr. Ryan Lohre. He was wonderful, kind, caring, & really cared about what I was dealing with. I will definitely continue to see Dr. Lohre in the future. I think he is top notch. His staff is very professional ? ? ?He gave me to Cortisone Injections to my shoulders. I have to honestly say, I have felt my best since he did this Cortisone Injections to both of my shoulders. My tingling, & numbness feel better than it has ever did. Will see how long this works. I would definitely want this again once I am able to have it. Thank you again Dr. Lohre. It was such a great pleasure to meet you and you staff. I will be back. GOD BLESS YOU. [redacted]

I found it to be an exceptional experience working with the doctor. He was very tuned in to my concerns. He did a very thorough examination and explained what he was doing and why he was doing it. And then he gave me a very concise and accurate summary of what my options and opportunities would be for future care and ongoing testing. and took a specific interest in some of the current challenges that I'm having and how things might work out in the future. I'm going to be following up with him consistently and he's helping look at procedures for me as we do more advanced testing with unique technologies. There's no better place to see a doctor.

Dr. Lohre seemed a bit rushed. I would encourage him or any MGH doctor to ensure patients feel relaxed and not rushed; no logging off the computer or sliding towards the door indicating they want to leave to ensure the patient feels comfortable to ask all their questions.

[redacted] Dr. Lohre has been watching taking care of my right shoulder. He is really one of the most outstanding one. A physician explained to me how I should take care of myself, what I should look for and to get better, and what I should look out not to get worse, and what's my next course. And he encouraged me to continue to practice, gain strength, also have a rehab. He is really outstanding. And I really thank MGH for such a good doctor. Thank you so much.

Dr. Lohre it's amazing and caring doctor. He explained the situation the good and the bad was such tact and diplomacy that it makes you want to hug him. He's brilliant and has done an amazing job with my surgeries over the past three years I would recommend him to anyone. He does a traffic job of explaining all the details in such a way that it doesn't provoke anxiety. And he's always dressed impeccably. Wonderful doctor.

This provider was highly recommended to me by another surgeon. He was so professional in his description of three different procedures. I could have. He made it very easy for my wife and I to come to the right decision which he agree with me. At that time, he went into further detail that once he opened my shoulder up and saw the damage that it might lead to another type of surgery altogether, I told him I had no problem at that time if it came to that. It was a pleasure meeting this Doctor and everyone in his practice. They were all so nice and so efficient.

I was very pleased with the way he helped me understand what was going on with my shoulder. I was hoping that I wasn't going to need the surgery. I've been to a doctor in Tennessee who told me I needed the surgery Dr. Lohre agreed that he would recommend the surgery and he gave me a better understanding than the doctor in Tennessee.

MGH doctors and staff are the best of the best. I have several doctors at MGH, and they are the kind of doctors that you hope to get when you need to go for medical attention. This was my first visit with Dr. Lohre and he was great. He was well prepared for my visit, and he reviewed multiple surgery options, and went through each one carefully, explaining the pros and cons of each. He was knowledgable, professional, and easy to talk to. Another great MGH professional.

I had an injury to my shoulder and Dr Lohre was the third shoulder surgeon that I saw. He was the only one that actually listened to me about my symptoms and was able to diagnose my problem. After over 2 years of pain, I was finally treated for the problem with a permanent solution. I did have a steroid injection that helped for a few weeks. I really appreciate that Dr Lohre did not dismiss my symptoms like the other two doctors did. I am looking forward to finally returning to work in the near future because of Dr Lohre

Good Dr, although, I feel that I don't get the whole picture of my condition.
2026-04-29
-
I'm going ahead with shoulder surgery although I said I would never have surgery at MGH again after a bad experience in 2015 because of an infection -and permanent nerve damage-from a hip replacement surgery (trauma team). So I must have renewed faith because of Dr Lohre's excellent reputation.

Dr. Lohre answered my questions. He was very helpful. I asked him to give me not only the general answers to the questions, but also ways in which I could move my arm and help it to heal.
