I have been struggling with chronic iron deficiency for years, and it has been an incredibly difficult journey. Although we got off to a bit of a rocky start, this doctor and his team truly stepped up and took my condition seriously. They acted quickly to put a treatment plan in place and help me move forward with the care I needed. I am extremely grateful to the doctor and his staff for their responsiveness, compassion, and commitment to helping me get my health back on track.

It is VERY refreshing to find yet another Doctor with a Strong ABILITY TO THINK and act 'in MY BEST INTEREST'. I am grateful Doctor BYEFF is part of HARTFORD HEALTHCARE and count on his expertise going forward! Big thanks to him and his GREAT STAFF as well. This was posted by: Henry J Lenkiewicz THREE MONTHS later and I remain under constant treatment by Dr. Peter Byeff for a lengthy condition for which he is VERY WELL at the HELM along with a great team HE has assembled for my full anticipated recovery. NO SUBSTITUTE for the VAST EXPERIENCE I am the recipient of! Now, 5/27/2022, adds a couple more months under Dr. PETER BYEFF'S more than CAPABLE 'DOCTOR' hands with strong signs of POSITIVE results.with the many twists, turns, variables & tangents as would NAVY SEALS, ARMY RANGERS or SPECIAL FORCES (all in one PETER BYEFF, MD) along with his very capable staff to include EVERY NURSE operating under his direction and his extremely capable administrative assistant, Anna! HARTFORD HEALTHCARE is FORTUNATE to have such a Medical group to meet (exceed) all challenges! Thank you to ALL! Very thankful I am doing well with the GREAT CARE, concern & direction of Dr. PERTER BYEFF & his TEAM along with all the ONCOLOGY NURSES who never miss a beat. Yeah it's THANKSGIVING 2024 and I post to give thanks to all who have (genuinely) cared for me! GOD bless all! HJL JANUARY 2025 WELL, let's start another year off perfectly and that is my fortunate successful continuation with DOCTOR PETER D BYEFF through all phases of treatment for which I am forever grateful. His abilities are second to NONE! DR PETER D BYEFF stands among the ranks of the VERY BEST - Front Row! Henry Lenkiewicz
