I love Dr. Floyd but you have to wait so long to get an appointment. I understand things take time and he is busy but while I am waiting to get in I am in pain and sometimes a month is too long to wait for an appointment.
Excellent Doctor
He is the Best!
I love Dr. Floyd. He is the best. Always made me well with his great knowledge
Have seen Dr. Floyd for going on 30 years for myself and family members. He is the best!
Love him
Very attentive and thorough
He is exceptional.
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.
