Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

After dealing with carpal tunnel in my right wrist for 25 years I had surgery two and a half years ago. No problems since. Activities that I avoided are now done regularly, with no pain. The experience was unbelievably pain-free and the results were great. Highly recommend Dr Brown

Dr.Bynum performed surgery on my left wrist to remove a ganglionic cyst. He and the entire staff were exceptional. The whole experience could not have gone any better.

I have been treated by Dr. Bynum for the past three years for hand problems, including two successful hand surgeries. He consistently has provided excellent patient-centered medical care. Dr. Bynums's doctor/patient communication skills are excellent as well; he listens attentively, provides clear and concise explanations of medical issues and answers patients' questions with patience and thoroughness. His interpersonal manner is respectful and kind. I recommend Dr. Bynum most highly.

Dr Bynum is amazing and gifted not only as a renown surgeon, but genuinely cares about his patients! I traveled to Chapel Hill, referred by my hometown surgeon, after no other options. That day, including the Volar hand procedure, (NOT EVER DONE IN MY CITY-ONLY heard of) he performed days later, exceeded All my expectations! Dr Bynum and his wonderful staff, will always be my heroes and Dr Bynum, my Quarterback! My hand and fingers today, are due to Dr Bynum! Thank you!
