Dr. Byrd and his amazing staff got me back on the course playing pain-free." - Phillip P. "I came to see Dr. Byrd needing revision hip surgery. After surgery, in PT, they pushed me hard to get stronger, correcting my form, and challenging me. I'm always really excited to have an appointment at NHI. They understood my desire to return to dance and have gotten me there." - Ella W.
