I've been a patient for 59 years!! I first saw him with his mentor and partner Dr. Garbe when I was 2. I was diagnosed quickly, and they succeeded where many others had failed. As Dr. Garbe aged, we saw more and more of Dr. Florence, and true to form, he and only he was able to diagnose all of my many mysterious ailments, and find a cure or treatment for all of them!!!! Yes, the waiting room is always full, waits can be long, and yes, more often than not the voicemail is full. That is one area that could use improvement, perhaps add another phone line, or somehow expand the voicemail capacity. And it is often true that you get a busy signal. All situations that can be extremely frustrating. However, I have to agree with the reviewer who lauded Dr. Florence's care. He does take the time to figure out what is ailing you, help you understand it, answer any questions and even asks about family members you can't believe he still remembers!!! As I often say : I've seen ALL of the important photos in his life, from graduation, engagement,wedding,children,grandchildren and now probably when I see him Thursday; 1 or more great grandchildren!!!! To be his patient, you must be patient and understand that he sees many elderly people who simply cannot sit and wait as long as others, and at times, I believe he sees them perhaps ahead of someone younger. As I don't work, I always offer my time to anyone who may be booked after me, but appears to need to be seen quickly. I suggest bringing some reading material, and perhaps a beverage to help pass the time. He is worth the wait, and worth his weight in gold as a caring, knowledgeable Dr. Toronto is a lucky city to have Dr Ralph Florence!!!!!!!!! Jacqueline Robichaud read more
