I was a patient of Dr Florence - he was the best doctor /dermatologist that many patients (myself included) have ever had - he was an amazing doctor and person. My condolences to the family.

I was a patient of Dr. Florence on and off for about 30 years and he was just so damn good at what he did. He was a caring, thoughtful doctor who never failed to make an accurate diagnosis and always had a treatment ready. May his memory be a blessing.

Dr. Ralph Florence was a highly respected dermatologist in Toronto and beyond. I see many of his patients now in my dermatology practice, and they all speak fondly of the terrific care they received from him, as well as his wonderful personality. He will be greatly missed by patients and colleagues alike.

I am so sad to hear that Dr. Florence has passed away. He was the most amazing dermatologist and looked after me through my teenage years and then treated my teenage boys. He genuinely cared and treated me as if I was family. My deepest condolences to the family.

Dr Ralph Florence was my dermatologist for over 50 years, since my childhood! Such grace, professionalism, and diligence. He never hesitated to remove a suspicious looking mole. His keen eye was second to none. You had to laugh at his old school way-- his constantly full mailbox and his love for paper. But you couldn't help but love and respect him. Sorry for his family's loss.

I just found out about Ralph´s passing. He was my dermatologist when I was a teenager and was my inspiration to become a dermatologist. It was great we ended up in the same office building. I miss our elevator chats. He was a wonderful man and doctor. DR Paul Cohen
