Dr. Byeff is very compassionate

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Byeff is a well seasoned and highly respected Oncologist. He succeds in bridging the gap between personalized old school doctoring and the off-putting cookie cutter nature of modern medical practice. Unlike many of my other physicians, I trust him implicitly.

Very detailed, and it was apparent that the doctor had knowledge with trauma informed care. I appreciate that very much, because I have had experiences where this was not first and foremost for the patient. This is a male doctor, therefore, he brought in a female nurse during my procedures. Very well, mannered, cautious about how I was feeling as the patient, and provided solution for my visit.
