Finding the right locum tenens partner can shape your entire experience—clinically, professionally, and personally. At Floyd Lee Locums, we believe a better locum tenens experience starts with a personal approach. Our concierge model is built around one idea: Because It’s Personal. Every detail is handled with intention, care, and a deep understanding of individual goals. We don’t just fill assignments; we build relationships, anticipate needs, and create tailored experiences that support both professional success and personal well-being.
It’s this commitment to personalized service that sets Floyd Lee Locums apart, and it’s why so many physicians choose to partner with us. Here are several clear reasons that make the difference when you choose us.
We Are Your Staff
At Floyd Lee Locums, we do more than place physicians. We support you like your front desk and back office team would. From travel coordination and credentialing support to contract guidance, license tracking, and routine communications, we take care of the details that can otherwise pull your focus away from patient care. Our goal is simple: remove the administrative burden so you can walk into each assignment every day ready to do what you do best—be a clinician.
That level of care is what makes the difference. As one APP, Katherine, shares, “Floyd Lee has been the most efficient and physician-focused agency I’ve worked with. It’s been a real pleasure working with them and I very much appreciate the accessibility and advocacy my rep Carissa provides!” That kind of accessibility matters when schedules shift, questions come up, and details need to be handled quickly and correctly. Dr. S said, “Without you, the flight would not have been possible. I simply could not have made this many changes this quickly.” That kind of response reflects exactly what we aim to provide, proactive support, steady communication, and a team that makes life easier instead of more complicated.
“If I could share a personal note, it would be that during my assignment, I became very ill and missed several weeks of work. Instead of being admonished, I was sent an Edible Arrangement with well wishes (plus a teddy bear) and the company sent a beautiful gift during ‘Locums’ week. I honestly cannot say enough great things about the entire team. If you want my experience, just move on over to Floyd Lee Locums. I promise they will take care of you!”
We Get to Know You and Your Lifestyle
At Floyd Lee Locums, we take the time to build real relationships, understand what matters to each clinician, and stay attuned to both professional goals and personal preferences. In many cases, we know our clinicians by name and understand the kind of assignments that fit their experience, lifestyle, and long-term plans. That allows us to think of the right people when an opportunity comes up, making each recommendation intentional and personal (and the right fit).
As Dr. Andrews shares, “It’s more than just provider/recruiter. Leslie is my friend. The human touch is what sets Floyd Lee apart for me.” We want every assignment to feel like the best one you’ve ever had. When we know what a clinician wants, we can do more than find a job. We create a lifestyle.
High-Touch Customer Service
At Floyd Lee Locums, we do not just go the extra mile. We go three. Our commitment to exceptional service has earned us a place on SIA’s Best Places to Temp For list seven years in a row, a recognition driven entirely by clinician feedback. That kind of honor cannot be manufactured. It reflects the experience physicians have with every part of our team, from the first conversation through payroll, operations, and beyond.
Dr. Pierce captured that experience well: “My support from FLL was the best I’ve ever experienced, from my point of contact, through payroll, operations, and even personal attention from higher management. My experience with FLL was unmatched in my locums experience. Thank you.” That level of support shows up in the details, especially when the unexpected happens. When Dr. D, who lived in Manhattan and didn’t drive, accepted an assignment in upstate New York and needed transportation to the facility, our team quickly found a solution. Lauren Weatherbee and her team bought a bicycle he loved, had it assembled, and delivered within 24 hours so Dr. D could get where he needed to go.
That same level of thoughtfulness extends to the way we support physicians as people, not just clinicians. For Dr. Andrews, who lives with MS, our team sent IV hydration packets, arranged comfortable accommodations, and helped identify nearby restaurants so she could settle in comfortably and focus on her work. As she put it, “Those little things matter. When I showed up to my assignment, all I had to do was focus on the work, be present, and enjoy the experience.” She continues, “Honestly, I couldn’t have done it without my recruiter, Leslie. She’s more than my recruiter—she’s my friend, my advocate, and someone who truly understands what I need, not just in work, but in life.” That result is what drives us to be proactive, attentive, and deeply responsive in every interaction we have.
Every person I have worked with have been so wonderful I do not even have words. I have already referred FLL to several colleagues because of how wonderful they have been. I genuinely mean it when I say I’m blown away. – Sarah
Superior Matching
At Floyd Lee Locums, we use time, insight, and industry expertise to match physicians with opportunities that truly fit. We do not waste anyone’s time with mismatched roles, and we never leave physicians to sort through opportunities on their own. Instead, we take a thoughtful, hands-on approach that helps us identify the right fit faster and with greater confidence and then stick around for anything that comes up.
But don’t take our word for it. Read what our physicians have to say.
“Miranda took the time to get to know me and my preferences for a schedule that would allow me to continue to pursue my passion for oncology without sacrificing other important aspects of my life.”
Dr. Sheilds
“Because I have a relationship with my recruiter he knows me and so he has never suggested someplace that wouldn’t be a good fit.”
Dr. Edwards
“They provide one on one individualized customer service and strive to get to know you so that they can be sure to place you with the right positions.”

Group Health Insurance Plan
Locum tenens should come with flexibility, not added uncertainty. That is why Floyd Lee Locums offers a Group Health Benefits Plan designed specifically for physicians and APPs, with year-round coverage available (even between assignments) and options that extend to family members. We believe we are the only locum tenens company offering this kind of benefit, which makes it a real differentiator for clinicians who want stability while continuing to work on their own terms.
With health coverage, plus dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, our Group Health Benefits Plan gives clinicians a stronger foundation and one more reason to feel supported every step of the way.
We Love Your Pets, Too
At Floyd Lee Locums, we know pets are family. That is why we make it a priority to find pet-friendly accommodations so clinicians can bring the comfort of home with them on assignment. We also do research to help identify doggie daycares and pet sitters for when you are at work.
One physician shared that a reason Floyd Lee Locums stands out is because of how we took care of her dog, Milo. “Making sure that everything was okay for my dog during my assignment, making sure that we could stay at a pet-friendly hotel, that the housing was safe for him. They even sent him toys.” That kind of care matters. When your pet is taken care of, you can focus more fully on your work and settle in with greater peace of mind.
We Take Care of Your Personal Life
At Floyd Lee Locums, our support goes beyond the assignment itself. We are happy to help with the little things that can make a big difference, whether that means doing research on your behalf, ordering a thoughtful gift, or helping make dinner reservations so your time off feels easier and more enjoyable. Our goal is to remove as much stress as possible so clinicians can focus on their work while still feeling cared for as people.
Many locum tenens agencies purport individualized and attentive care for their medical providers. Once you sign on, that promise fades and you are treated like a revenue stream and not a person. With Floyd Lee Locums, the promise of concierge service is wholly fulfilled. – NP
