Thank you Dr. Bynum. I’m pleased and grateful for your care. Thank you to your surgical team Susan, Cris and Brendan. Diane in pre-op was so nice and upbeat.
Very personable, knowledgeable and easygoing Doctor. Just the best.
As always dr. Bynum did an excellent job explaining all the options I have for my swollen knee. I’m very lucky I found him.
Dr Bynum is quick and confident!
Dr Bynum is excellent and all the staff is super nice!
Excellent communicator and attentive to my condition.
Wonderful at discussing my options with shoulder pain. Very considerate and first Dr I have ever seen that didn’t push surgery as an only option. We will be managing any recurring pain with injections. Thank you Dr. Bynum for giving me non-surgical options.
Wonderful Dr. Very knowledgeable, listens to my concerns and goes above and beyond to find the problems that I may have and the remedies to fix them. Dr Bynum is an awesome surgeon!!
I think he was a little fast, but other than that he was encouraging.
I am 2 days post shoulder surgery and I just received a phone call from Dr Bynum checking on me. Great Dr & great service from his whole team.
