Dr Floyd is a skilled physician and as important one of nicest guys you will ever meet.
However, I had to wait over 1 hour before seeing him 😱
Personable. His knowledge puts me at ease
Just love him! Very caring and thorough
I left an earlier review. Dr Floyd is the best doctor ever. Not only is he so very knowledgeable, he is kind, compassionate and also has a great sense of humor.
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!
