T. Karl Byrne Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

I am pleased with my Doctor and every one of His staff from Diane to the Dieticians. They have all been ready and able to answer and offer a solution to my concerns. This surgery is scarey and is a life altering surgery, but it is one I would do again if I had to. I want to thank all at MUSC for the super care pre and post op.

I Loved Dr. Byrne. His staff is wonderful. I would rate the entire team an A+.

I like Dr Bynes because he is very straight forward. He doesnt pussy foot around anything. I have like him since i met him two years ago. His staff I feel is the beat. They really care. They continue to help you and push you forward. Its all about the encouragement. He is an excellent surgeon. He is very strict but truely does care. He wants you to suceed. Their after program is excellent. He is a great surgeon.

I first say Dr. Byrne when he spoke at the information meeting I attended and I whispered to my husband that he was the doctor that I would choose if I elected to have the surgery. rnAfter many weeks of paperwork going back and forth, the doctor that was chosen FOR ME, because I didn't have the opportunity to make that decision, was Dr. Byrne! That was another confirmation by God that I was making the right decision to have the surgery!rnDr. Byrne and his staff answer any questions that you might have and I would recommend him to anyone lucky enough to get him.rnHis surgical competence and bedside mannerrnare both equal in greatness.

i woould describe dr. byrne as a Dr. who is in this industry to really help people andto make a difference, however he is very a matter of fact no b'sing, this is tool the rest is up to me. the staff are great, always in contact even if I had a silly question, During one of our conversations I blurted out that I was terrified of this procedure, after a lenghthy discusion she assured me everything would be fine. I am very happy with my surgeon and his staff at MUSC.

I would overall rate Dr. Byrne and his staff as excellent. He gave me as much time as I needed to ask questions and was totally up front with the facts.rnrnEveryone was caring, kind, and friendly. I have no misgivings about surgery on 12-12-07.

He was very nice. Willing to answer all your questions. I feel very comfortable with him.

My impression of Dr. Byrne was very positive. I have met with him twice now. He is very compassionate and educated. He answered all my questions and did not seem to be in a hurry to get out the door. The staff is great too. I haven't met one person at musc that hasn't been kind and helpful...from the Dr. to the ladies in registration. I go in for surgeryrntomorrow. I will update as soon as I can.

I have met Dr. Byrne on during my intial Seminar on July 17, 2007. I have several friends that have used him as a Surgeon and heard nothing but awesome comments so far. He seems very down to Earth, extremely knowledable and confident in what he does. He has gone over all the risks, aftercare, etc during the Seminar. He made us very aware of the fact that this surgery is only a tool, the best tool we'll ever have, but only a tool. He stressed the fact that success is up to us as a person. I will try to update as my saga continues, lol!

My first impression was great, and he hasn't disappointed me at all. Everyone in the office was very nice and friendly and they are all very intelligent. Dr. Byrne emphasizes that WLS is not a cure but a tool. He doesn't sugar coat anything and that is what I like the most. Sugar coating doesn't help you at all. He is so smart, but he speaks to you in a manner in which you will easily understand. Not a whole bunch of medical terminology that is hard to keep up with. Overall my opinion is, he is absolutely wonderful and I look forward to my surgery knowing I will be in great hands!
