Daviess Community Hospital is proud to welcome Michael Ryskin, MD, FACOG, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist with decades of experience in women’s health and maternity care. Dr. Ryskin will officially join DCH as the first employed OB-GYN in April 2026, where he will provide comprehensive OB-GYN services for patients across Daviess County and the surrounding region.

Recently, Dr. Ryskin has been filling shifts at DCH until he transitions to full-time in April.

“Dr. Ryskin brings extensive knowledge and skill to our women’s services provided today, and his leadership will take womens’ services to a new level,” said Justin D.

With his experience and dedication, we are strengthening our ability to offer personalized, high-quality care close to home.”

Dr. Ryskin provides care across the full spectrum of women’s health, including prenatal care, labor and delivery, gynecologic procedures, contraceptive counseling, and menopause management. His clinical interests include minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and evidence-based preventive care. His arrival expands DCH’s growing team of maternity and gynecology specialists dedicated to improving access and outcomes for women in southwestern Indiana.

“Joining DCH feels like the perfect opportunity to continue delivering the kind of care I believe in—personalized, thorough, and community-focused,” Dr. Ryskin said. “I’ve worked in many hospitals across the country, and it’s rare to find the level of teamwork, respect, and genuine commitment to women’s health that exists here.”

Originally trained in Moscow, Dr. Ryskin earned his medical degree with honors from the Medical University of the State of Russia.
