Dr. Byrd did my knee replacement on 3/31 and my X-ray showed a perfect knee! He is a very compassionate young Dr. I had questions, he answered. My scar is almost invisible.
Great Dr.

Dr Byrd is a ground breaker in knee replacements. I am still amazed at how easy it was to go through a day surgery and recover with very little discomfort. I have recommended that anybody I know who is in need of a knee or hip replacement search out Dr William Byrd. A wonderful, professional, and exceptionally competent surgeon - - none better.

Did my total hip replacement and everything turned out great! I am currently in much better condition than prior to the surgery. Granted I am still healing but can walk longer and not as wobbly but most of all I am hip pain free!
Thank you Dr. William Byrd!
