Appreciated Dr Bird's hesitancy to jump to any medical conclusions or schedule a follow up apot until all of my medical reviews could be reviewed. My local hospital did not send all of my requested medical records to Vanderbilt.

Dr. Byrd is not a good doctor. He might have clinical knowledge and years of experience but he's patronizing and condescending. And he doesn't listen - he immediately starts talking over me. I don't feel comfortable and confident in his care.

Dr. Byrd is one of the absolute best heart doctors out there, you can tell he really enjoys what he does. His due diligence saved my life I am sure of it.

I really like Dr. Byrd. He really seems to care about his patients. I did feel a little rushed yesterday.
