I had heard from my clients who recommended Dr Flood to me that other Doctors were good and efficient that they had seen before, but we're not exactly warm or bedside manner remote. Two of my clients had other Doctors and then Dr .Flood and would only see Dr. Flood in the future. As someone who deals with the public for decades, that recommendation was enough for me to request her and she and her assistants did not disappoint. She made me feel a connection with her that felt genuinely real..I felt a great deal of Trust which is important.

She takes a lot of time with me and checks thoroughly for skin cancer. I've already had melanoma and other cancers so this is very important. She explained everything clearly and took pictures of moles I should watch carefully, on my phone, with instructions to message her if I see anything suspicious. Plus she's extremely personable and kind.
