“Dr. Byers has brought an excellent breadth of experience to serve our patients,” said Scott Gabriel, president of Parkview Whitley Hospital. “He has been a great addition to our medical staff, and patients appreciate the energy and concern he puts into their care.”
A Fort Wayne native, Byers is pleased to be practicing and making a difference for women in the region he calls home.
“I really enjoy caring for my patients, not to mention the fact that I may be in clinic one minute and performing emergency surgery a few minutes later,” he said. “But my proudest achievement so far is that I delivered a baby in the very hospital in which I was born (Parkview Hospital Randallia).”
In recent years, Byers has provided OB/GYN services at a medical practice in Elkhart. In addition, he served as a laborist, a physician who provides continuous coverage of labor and delivery units, at hospitals in South Bend; Mishawaka; Greeley, Colo.; Hazelton, Pa.; and Fort Wayne.
Before he began practicing as an OB/GYN, he worked on research projects through the Department of Integrative Medical Sciences at Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and the Purdue Department of Biology.
Byers served a preliminary residency in general surgery at St. Joseph Hospital in Denver, Colo., before completing his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the Catholic Health Sisters of Charity Hospital, University at Buffalo, N.Y. In his final year, he received the Buffalo Gynecologic and Obstetric Society Award for overall academic and clinical excellence in obstetrics and gynecology.
During and after his residency, he provided surgical services to underserved populations in the Dominican Republic on three annual medical mission trips.
Byers received his medical degree from Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine in Rootstown, Ohio. During medical school, he assisted economically disadvantaged patients with applications for medication assistance programs.
