I came to Dr. Byrd in March of 2006 when I discovered I was pregnant with my son. Some of my most memorable experiences with Dr. Byrd include her general attitude towards my concerns with my first pregnancy. Dr. Byrd would speak to me in a scolding manner and accuse me of not eating simply because I had not gained much weight by my 5th month of pregnancy. Mind you I am a respectable grown woman at the time with a long term full time office career and health insurance.. So I can't even say she was judging me for my lifestyle. I also had frequent occurrences of blacking out in public while walking. She would literally laugh at me and tell me it was normal and act annoyed if I would mention it again at the next appointment. Come to find out I actually had a heart condition (Supaventricular Tachycardia) that was later diagnosed when I relocated to another state at 8 months pregnant. Dr Byrd would also take sonograms and keep the best ones for her file only giving me the absolute worst distorted print outs of my unborn child.. My child was perfectly healthy and she didn't seem to need them for clinical purposes.. She would just smugly file them away in a folder. On 4th of July weekend of that year I contracted salmonella poisoning and was vomiting and had diarrhea and a high fever and could not eat or drink for 3-4 days. I got scared and called the oncall # for advice like any pregnant woman would. Dr Byrd called me back from a BBQ and literally scolded me and spoke to me like a livid mother for bothering her on the holiday. She actually said"I can't believe you would disturb me over the holiday for THIS?!". I am so glad she did not deliver my baby. I have nothing good to say about my experience with her. read more
