LOUISA FLOYD, PA-C
Louisa Floyd is a physician assistant committed to providing the highest quality professional skin care in a comfortable, friendly, and compassionate environment. She believes that dermatology is a unique area of medicine because it not only affects physical health, but it can also significantly impact someone’s mental health, their self-esteem and social interactions. She diagnoses and treats various skin conditions such as skin cancers, psoriasis, eczema, acne, rosacea, warts, etc.; performs her own surgeries; and does yearly full skin exams. She believes in educating patients on the various management and treatment options available so that together they can create a customized treatment plan that best suits the patient’s specific needs.
