Professional, personable, and efficient with time during consultation. Dr. Bydon ordered an EMG before making a surgical recommendation. He explained his thought process in deferring his likely surgical plan until I have my carpal tunnel, identified in the EMG, addressed. I was given a referral to a hand surgeon. I know if another hand surgeon locally but will follow Dr. Bydon's recommendation because I trust his judgement.

He definitely knew what he was talking about. He was direct and strait to the point as he came in the room. He did ask if I had any questions but with enormous amount of information he had just given me couldn't be processed that quickly to have a question.

Dr. Bydon was well prepared for my visit and showed great care and compassion. He had a plan in place for moving forward with surgery if I decided to do so, and he is also assisting with referrals to neurology after my surgery. He is kind, and it is very clear that his patients are not just a number to him, which is not easy in such a large health system as Johns Hopkins.

Identified other issues, Gave a surgical opinion, made a referral but did not address any "next step" for presenting complaint. I asked, made a suggestion for care, provider agreed but did not assist and left me to schedule the next step appt. Which was 3 weeks ago. Another physician reviewed a subsequent imaging and said he'd ask for Dr. Bydon s review. Haven't heard from Dr. Bydon

Dr Bydon is extremely knowledgeable about spinal issues, he did very well explaining my condition, why he recommended the surgical procedure he would use to treat me, what risks I would be facing, as well as the likelihood of me experiencing said complications.
