He is a space medicine physician with specialized training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

The professional has short brown hair, a beard, and an embroidered name tag that reads 'Ryan Holzhauser, MD.' He is focused on the patient, who is partially visible on the right side of the image, with light skin and brown hair. The background includes a wall with abstract artwork.

Trust is difficult to earn and easy to lose, act accordingly

Always expect and maintain the highest standards: for yourself, your operations, AND your medicine
