5.0 star star star star starI would score Dr. Bayer higher than 10 if that was possible. He has a manner that makes you feel like he is in your corner. I feel that he has been the reason I am able to be alive today. The Staff that works with Dr. Bayer has the same comfort "Vibe". The professionalism and innovative ideas that have been utilized as part of my overall plan, has given me confidence to move forward. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Bayer in my life.

5.0 star star star star starI have known Dr Bayer for 17 years, he saved my life 17 years ago and he leads every health issue that is the result of saving my life. He said years ago, it's usually not the cancer that kills you but all the issues that come up as a result of the horrific chemo side effects. It's a testament to Dr Bayer how dedicated and smart he is, he has lead me through all the challenges and I am still standing thanks to him and his great team of nurses, PA's, MT's and secretary's that make sure everything is done behind the scenes. Well done team
