Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Enjoyed my visit with him.
He immediately greeted me cheerfully and began the exam. I was also taken to the xray area and we talked treatment options. No complaints.

A caring doctor that takes quality time
Dr Floyd takes time to learn about me as a person as well as a patient. He studies the whole situation and attempts to come up with a plan that will provide short term relief as well as long term repairs. He has remembered details about previous treatments that we have been through over the last 20 plus years.

Simply the best
Dr. Floyd did a thorough evaluation of my progress since surgery and based on that made frank and encouraging comments on expected continued improvements. Explained everything clearly. Positive visit as always. Will reevaluate in three months. He doesn’t leave you hanging; he wants to know how things move along.

Extremely Thorough and Attentive!
This was my first visit with Dr. Floyd. I am 55 years old and I’ve never had a doctor take as much time with me as he did. It was very refreshing. He arrived in the exam room only a few minutes after the appointment time and spent more time in the room than I ever expected. He was very attentive to everything I had to say. So thankful I was referred to Dr. Floyd.
