Great at explaining what to expect.
Dr Floyd took care of my ganglion cyst quickly, efficiently and painlessly in his office without the need for surgery. If it returns he can repeat the same treatment or suggest surgery. Dr Floyd is very friendly, caring and experienced.
Super doctor. Great personality.
I have had a very pleasant experience with Dr Floyd from the first consultation. He’s very understanding and has years of experience which shows up in his talent to heal or help his patients.
