Lindsey Byom, PHD, CCC-SLP

I serve as a vestibular physical therapist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As a native of Saratoga Springs, New York, I have served in a variety of clinical settings in Colorado, North Carolina, and Florida focusing on acute and subacute neurological impairments, and I am primarily passionate about vestibular rehabilitation and craniofacial pain. At UNC, I participate in the long-COVID multidisciplinary team and I have worked most recently to develop the vestibular rehab portion of UNC’s Transforming Health and Resilience in Veterans (THRIVE) Program, a multidisciplinary team for veterans suffering from mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a doctor. My dad being a high school science teacher and my mom being a registered nurse might have had something to do with that dream. The idea of being part of something bigger than yourself, being able to serve in, and positively influence, the community is something that always interested me about medicine. Being able to help people get and stay well and healthy excites me. I believe the best kind of patient is a patient who is fully invested and interested in their wellness and healthcare. I truly think it is my job to present the patient with a list of options and to discuss the pros and cons of each. Every patient is different, so every situation and subsequent choice is unique. There are some straightforward decisions in medicine, but, most of the time, there are an array of choices and helping the patient making the best decision for themselves is a vital part of my job. Outside of the office, I can be found driving my children places and watching them play sports and grow into great human beings. I enjoy doing hot yoga and other forms of exercise.
