Dr. Peter Byeff saved my father's life in 1984 by making the right call after diagnosing him in the Emergency Room at Bradley Memorial Hospital in Southington CT, which is now affiliated with HOCC. Now here I am year's later and he's making the right calls and diagnosis's that are helping me to get healthy and back on my feet again. You won't find a nicer doctor, professional and kind person, who is there for you! He along with his entire staff truly care and are there too help all of us who need it.

I've been seeing Dr. Byeff for three years now and I'm in remission, no signs of cancer anywhere. Dr. Byeff is a wonderful Oncologist, very aggressive and that's what one needs. I've been blessed at a fresh start in life. Thank you Dr. Byeff, his amazing nurses and staff!
