What a refreshing experience! Dr Floyd asked a few questions, did a hands on examination, and knew exactly what the problem was. We started with treatment the same day… no waiting weeks for another appointment, or debating what the next step will be. Dr. Floyd has my full confidence, and I’m so relieved to be on the road to recovery.
The doctor listened to me and gave me options, He did not rush me. He saved me from expensive tests.
Excellent care
