Dr. Lloyd is a total quack. Horrible disrespectful every negative adjective you can think of describes him. He has no business being a practicing medical professional. Berates his patients. Calls them names. His medical license should be revoked immediately. It’s sad to see this especially when dealing with people that are trying to get their lives together and are very fragile and vulnerable. I could go on and write a novel but all that needs to be said is he shouldn’t be a doctor and stay as far away as possible.

and for anybody who says that those of us who are complaining were just trying to "get away with something" or lie to him or weren't serious about our sobriety, I say F*** YOU!!!! there are WAY more reviews saying almost exactly what I am saying or EXACTLY what my experience was like when I went there, yet there are VERY FEW reviews saying how much he has helped them. look up his reviews on other sites. I can say with 110% certainty that I was not trying to lie to the dr or get away with something or anything like that at all. if anything I was trying to be COMPLETELY honest with him and that is what set him off in a tangent! he had NO RIGHT to call me the names that he did and especially not my husband who was only there to help and support me, Dr. Lloyd's patient! Yet he accused him of being a junkie and looking for meds. god, just thinking about all of this still gets me all worked up and makes me wonder how the heck he is still a Dr. at all!!!! I just hope that after 5 years that he treats his patients a little better now then he did back then bc NOBODY deserves to be treated the way he treated me that day!!!!

ok let me just say that I went to "Dr." Lloyd almost 5 years ago and I STILL talk about what a horrific and completely traumatic experience it was going there for that ONE and only visit I ever had with that office. 1st of all I drove 3 hours to come there after my Dr's office of over a year prior to going to Lloyd caught on fire and they had to drop 100 patients from their practice. Well bc of being dropped so suddenly and without warning I had taken an extra half for a few days that month bc I was so stressed about not knowing what I was going to do without a Dr. which ended up shorting me on my script (which I was very truthful about to the man & had NEVER done in the whole 2 years that I was in suboxone programs before even going to his office. it was an accident and I was having cravings and was told by my dr before him that if I was having cravings it was ok to take an extra if needed every once in awhile) but as soon as Dr. Lloyd heard this I was INSTANTLY "a sick pathetic junkie just looking to get a quick fix from him" NO JOKE within 5 mins of getting into a room alone with him after waiting over 3 hours to be seen (even tho I was the 1st scheduled appointment for the day) he had called me a pathetic junkie! and would again, MANY MANY times before I left his office that day! Not only was I just "desperate to get my hands on something to make me not sick anymore" he wanted to know if my husband was also just as desperate to get his junkie hands on some meds too. Not only has my husband NEVER had a drug addiction, he is one of the only reasons that I EVER got clean in the 1st place. I instantly started bawling. He just assumed that bc my husband is covered in tattoos and married to a recovering addict that he must be one as well. I was COMPLETELY appalled by his assumptions and accusations. What kind of Dr. speaks to their patients like this?!?! or any HUMAN BEING for that matter? When I started crying he seriously said that I was just trying to put on a show. Who on earth would I possibly be trying to put on a show for? and for what reason? I didn't lie to him about anything. I wasn't using. I have NEVER failed any drug tests for the suboxone program I was in or for my counseling, or for the drug and alcohol program I was in. I took my prescription as I was supposed to and the 1 month that I was having cravings I took a few extra and was honest about it ( I didn't ask for extra meds or complain about being out a few days early and going without bc it was ENTIRELY my fault) but as soon as I told him about it he just lost it on me completely! I should've never even told him about it at all. he wouldn't have ever found out, but I was trying to be honest with him from the beginning. He had me so upset that I was hyperventilating. after sitting in his office for almost 4 hours and listening to him call me a junkie about 6 times in an hour I finally stood up and said "I think I'm just gonna go" and instead of being professional and saying something along the lines of "ok, good luck in your recovery" he holds up my prescription already written out for the suboxone that I needed and dangled it in front of my face and says "don't you want your script?! you don't get it if you leave!!!!" & keep in mind that he was yelling all of this stuff where other patients could absolutely hear EVERYTHING! He asked me to show him my "track marks", which I did. apparently they must not have been adequate for him bc he says "those don't even look like track marks." well at that point I hadn't stuck a needle in my arm in over 2 years so a lot of them had healed. god forbid I wasn't bleeding or bruised from a fresh stick! He then wanted to know why I didn't currently have a drivers license and was making my husband drive me everywhere. HA! as if it is even any of his business why I didn't have a license, but even if I did have 1 at that time, my husband would have still drove me the 3 hours there bc it was a blizzard out that day and he wanted me to be safe. He truly made me feel like I shouldn't be loved by my husband or anyone else bc I was an addict and was seeking help. it was sad. I honestly cried for hours, even after getting home later that day. I just cried and cried bc he made me think so little of myself. he actually told me that I didn't deserve his care and compassion. I've never heard of any Dr. telling their patient that! I truly thought that is EXACTLY what Drs are for, but ya know, I'm just a desperate junkie so what the heck do I know? Right? but I am now 7 years clean. (well in exactly 13 days it'll be 7 years clean) so I'm doing pretty well for myself, no thanks to Dr. Lloyd at all. I just wanted to leave this review bc even though it has been 5 years since my visit with him it still upsets me when I think about it!

His office is in butler not newcaste to who ever said that? obv a liar? But i found him to be a REAL doctor, and after getting to know me a few weeks he was not a "Dick" to me anymore, but only real! I got caught faking my urin test to keep smoking marijuana (i spilled it down my leg out of my dress when opening it) and he didnt even kno that at the time it was only over weed, and after apologizing, he still didnt discharge me, if it wasnt for the fact i couldnt keep up with getting a ride there, i prob wouldnt of stopped going!!! And i am planning to see if he will take me back, as far as track marks go, i didnt have any? He helped me? I feel like alot of these reviews are people trying to slander his rep, he can be a dick, but only if you deserve it!!! If ur looking for a way to fund ur drug use, dont bother, if you want help, legit want to quit, i say this is your man!!!!! Ive been to several drs, an addict of 10 years at only 23, hes the only real one, who does care!!! Ive EVER been to.. the reason i went to him is the doctor i was going to kicked me out when i had problems with my insurance for about 4 weeks i couldnt straiten out.. even though i did everything right i could.. and then she charged me for the last visit almost a year after!!! He wouldnt do that, he only wants to help, but only if u wanna help yourself, these other reviews sicken me, not alll, but the liars posting negative ones.. only problem i had, was he takes forever!!!!!! u will be waiting for hours for ur first visit, and an hour or two atleast every other time, but thats only because he is so concerned with each patient..

Wow, some of the responses here make me sick. I have been a patient of Dr. Lloyd's (and opiate free) for over 3 years. He saved not only my life, but my education and my job. We had a rough start because I was an obstinate, lying junkie...but that's to be expected. Someone else said that you have to earn his trust, which is completely true. How could you expect any sane addiction medicine specialist to trust you right off the bat after you spent months or years lying and cheating your way into a pill bottle or a syringe? He has always been eager to help me. If I ever have questions or concerns, he gets back to me as soon as he can. Always. I think a lot of people end up getting kicked out or stop going because they aren't truly serious about getting clean. He will see that, and call you out without a second thought. His program really does work though, and I am proof. He's a very smart guy, and a very, very good addiction doctor. If you want the best help western PA can offer, I suggest you make an appointment with him. I have to drive over an hour to every appointment, but it is well worth it. Honestly I would either be dead or in jail if it wasn't for him, and now I'm finishing up my junior year in college and I have a great job. Can't say enough good things about this practice, even all the nurses and secretaries are amazing, caring people.

Dr. Lloyd is an excellent doctor. He is very smart and trusting. He has helped me so much. He is very tough at first but can you blame him. He doesn't trust anyone at first, that trust has to be gained by showing him that you are working the steps and getting back your life. I see a lot of negative comments on here but I bet there's more to the story. If your honest and you truly need this program he will help you. He doesn't sugar coat anything and he is very arrogant but he has the right to. If you would see some of the people that come in there lies all over their faces then you would understand why he is the way he is. He doesn't put up with bull and he shouldn't. If you want help with addiction he knows first hand how to help and he will but you yourself have to put forth the effort! In my opinion dr. Lloyd is a fabulous dr.

Dr. Loyd is a Joke, it's real funny how he treats you, that fool was a surgeon but had got addicted to pain pills himself (look him up). So he should know EXACTLY how difficult recovery can be. Learn some people skills Dr. Likes to get high too.

Lloyd likes to play doctor and detective. possibly has personality disorder.
His place to is write out a goddamn script instead he gets off to catching people in lies. He is a genuinely terrible person. He definitely doesn't give two shits about specializing addiction, that's obvious.
He is exactly where he is supposed to be, with addicts. He is no better but clearly acts like he does. Sits there in his lazy boy, iPad mini and cheap sport jacket.

Violating hippa. I heard many many things about one patient. The doc and nurse talking about him like I wasn't there.
Guess what Lloyd....I don't buy it
