About
Dr. Barry trained for more than ten years to provide expert, compassionate care. She earned her medical degree from the University of Maryland and completed her general surgery residency at the University of South Florida, where she also spent two years in clinical research that led to several publications. During residency, she also completed a fellowship in surgical critical care and became certified in robotic surgery. She went on to advanced training in abdominal transplant surgery at Tampa General Hospital, one of the busiest transplant centers in the nation.
Her clinical interests include improving outcomes for patients before and after transplant, caring for complex liver patients in the intensive care unit, and developing specialized transplant care programs. She also performs robotic general surgery procedures, including gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and dialysis access surgeries.
Dr. Barry believes in caring for the whole patient and their family, not just performing surgery. She works closely with patients to guide them through every step of the transplant process, from evaluation and expectations for surgery to the operation itself and long-term follow-up.
She is also active in community outreach and patient education, raising awareness about organ donation and improving access to transplant services. Her goal is to provide excellent care while helping build one of the best transplant programs in the country here at MUSC.
