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.

Dr. Cloyd operated on my husband several times after he had been in a very traumatic motorcycle accident back in Nov. of 2006. I strongly believe that if it weren't for the fact that this amazing surgeon was on call that day my husband would have lost his leg if not his life. I am so greatful to Dr. Cloyd and highly recommended him.

Dr Cloyd has not operated yet. But he has come to the hospital and been exactly as wonderful as all the other reviews say. So glad i read those reviews as i now know i was not imagining how good he is. He is calling in an expert in one very difficult aspect of the surgery i need as he says this other surgeon is the best at that! I realize he is so well liked because of his manner, who he is as a person and bec he does what is best for his patient. He makes people well even in risky surgery

I met Dr. Cloyd after being admitted to Palomar hospital with diverticulitis. Dr. Cloyd explained everything to me really well and answered all my questions. He was patient with me and so friendly. He had an amazing bedside manner and was never in a hurry when talking to me! He ended up doing two surgeries on me and I was very thankful to have gotten him as my surgeon! He's an amazing doctor, an amazing surgeon and an amazing person in general. What more can I say, I'm definitely a fan!

I am not a patient of Dr. Cloyd, rather my mother is. I just wanted to post a review to let people know that Dr. Cloyd provided and still provides the utmost professional care, stellar expertise with love and kindness - to my mother. A few months back, Dr Cloyd performed a surgical procedure that in my opinion, saved my mother's life. My family and I will be forever in idebted to you. Thank you so much!! -The Lam Family

A true professional. Utilizing the the most caring and sensitive way possible while using layperson's terms, he explained to me and all my family members, the risks, possible complications and narrow success margins regarding our mother's delicate operation. Thank You Dr. Cloyd, we will forever be in gratitude with you.

Dr. Cloyd? THE BEST! And he's always giving his patient nothing but THE BEST! He taken care of us with gentleness and patience. He'd always has time to answer any silly question we asked. He's THE BEST Doctor because : a) He handles his job with integrity and compassion. b) He was so proud of his work, but yet so humbles with his patients. c) He is so good looking that it make those boys in Hollywood look sick!!! d) HE'D SAVED MY LIFE!!!
