How likely are you to recommend Dr. Byrne?
Dr Byrne removed a tumor from my brain on February 15th 2021. Being told that an MRI scan shows a tumor in your brain and that you are having surgery on your brain to remove the tumor is a lot to wrap your head around (literally). Dr. Richard Byrne has such a calming way about him and his experience made me as a patient feel like no matter what may have happened during the surgery, he's been there before and he is able to deal with it. Dr. Byrne's first consultation with me 2/3/21 I walked in to Dr Byrne's office of course stressed out and scared of the prospect of brain surgery and a possibility of cancer. I walked out of Dr. Byrne's office on February 3rd 2021 confident that I would make it through the upcoming operation and excited about the opportunity to fight this situation with Dr Byrne's years of experience. Long story short the surgery was a success. The pathology came back that I had Glioblastoma brain cancer. 1 year later and I am classified as NED no evidence of disease.

About Me
- A majority of my practice is brain tumor surgery. I also do epilepsy surgery, and I do surgery for trigeminal neuralgia and other functional disorders of the nervous system. I've gone through this thousands of times, and I've operated on well more than a thousand brain tumors. But for them it's the first time they've ever experienced anything like that. And we're very aware of that. And we understand that patients need to be guided through what can be a very difficult time. What we can do today is dramatically different compared to what was possible 50 years ago. Technology, microsurgery, the GPS-tracking technology we use during surgery, the instruments we use - all of these things make neurosurgery much safer than it used to be, and much more effective.
