I have been very pleased with my treatment under Dr. Byku. She's pretty no-nonsense and someone I can deal with. Her knowledge of my heart condition and heart conditions in general seems excellent. More than that, dealing with her gives me a sense of security about my chronic conditions.

Dr. M. Byku was interesting and informative during my visit at the cardiology unit of UNC Chapel Hill. I found her knowledge and approach to my heart condition to be beyond what I expected. Way beyond. I believe I am fortunate to have been introduced to her and feel more comfortable with my heart’s current condition.
