Info about Dr. Phillip Floyd

I was wondering if there was any of you out there that has used Dr. Floyd? I would appreciate your comments. Thanks Leanne

I had my surgery with Dr. Floyd on 12/4 and he is a wonderful doctor, IMHO. I have a friend who had surgery with him on 10/15 and I know that she would agree with me. He is very down to earth and very concerned about his patients. To date I have lost 34 lbs and over 38 inches and, knock on wood, I've had absolutely no problems - except self-inflicted. By self-inflicted I mean, eating the wrong thing or too fast or too much. OH, I tried a protein drink about 6 days out and thought I would die. I was really afraid that I had done something bad, but a quick call to Dr. Floyd took care of my fears. He's so funny, he asked me if he had told me to drink protein drinks. I told him "no" and he said not to eat or drink anything he doesn't tell me to! His instructions after surgery are easy to follow and as long as you do what he says, there shouldn't be any problems. Choosing a doctor is a very personal thing and I'd advise anyone to go with their gut instincts. I was always very pleased and comfortable with Dr. Floyd and his manner. I hope that this helps.

Well, I tried to have Dr. Floyd do my surgery, even had it scheduled for 31 DEC 2003, but he cancelled on me. Dr. Floyd only wants to do surgeries at Edmond Medical Center now. That is out of network for my insurance and they would not go out of network. Dr. Floyd also canceled on another patient for the same reason. I think Dr. Floyd did wrong by me and the other patient, we already had our surgeries scheduled and he should have gone ahead and done them. Then he could insist that all new patients have surgery at Edmond Medical Center. I had been calling Dr. Floyd's office everyday, and getting absolutly no where. I call and they say they are going to meet with him and then call me back in the afternoon, they NEVER call me back in the afternoon.I call back to them in the morning and the same thing, they will meet with him and call me back in the afternoon, and they DO NOT call me back. Finally I got the hint, after a week and a half of beating around the bush THEY DONT WANT ME AS A PATIENT. So I am getting another surgeon.

I had my consult with Dr Floyd today. He said he will set up my surgery within two weeks. Of course, I had a pre-approval going in to him. However, his office staff has been very cooperative and helpful to me, and Dr Floyd has wonderful manner and character. He's very pleasant, explains everything thoroughly, explains why you are having certain tests, etc. I can't imagine that I almost overlooked this wonderful Dr. I look forward to posting more as the date nears, and I pass it!!
