"I was impressed with Dr. Byrne from the start. I was tremendously nervous and he put me at ease with his demeanor. He was honest and up front about risks and complications as well as benefits. I never felt like he wasn't anything but focused on me the whole time I was face to face with him...a comforting feeling when you are about to be face to guts with this guy you've just met. ;)
I never felt like a number or a paycheck for him.
All of the people involved with the red tape prior to surgery up to present post-op needs have been very helpful and swift to respond to me.
The actual caregivers on the floor after surgery were very competent for the most part, but some seemed rude and I was not even sponged off the 5 days I was in the hospital ( and I mean the hospital staff, not Byrne's surgical team...they, as well as he, were most excellent), but I did inform the Hospital of this after the surgery, so hopefully that* is no longer an issue.
*later edit* from what I understand, this is no longer an issue. another post-op of Dr. Byrnes told me that he had seen this post and made sure to clear it up.
