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.
