I always enjoy my visit with doctor Griffin.
I couldn’t be any happier with the job he did on my shattered leg and the treatment I receive from his awesome staff. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
Dr. Griffin is a phenomenal surgeon. I had to have revision knee surgery and he spent a lot of time researching what I needed to ensure my best results. I am now 6 months out and doing really great.
