I have complete trust in Dr Griffin, he is not a surgery jumper—he is straight forward and will tell you when it’s time for the knife
Excellent care.
Dr. Griffin and the entire team were awesome again! This was my second partial knee replacement surgery in the last year and a half. The only hiccup was a lengthy delay at the surgery center due to issues out of Dr. Griffin and the teams control. I understand sometimes things happen. Thank you for taking care of me!
Very pleased with Dr. Griffin. Both knees have torn meniscus and for a surgeon to offer all options, including conservative methods, instead of immediately going to surgery makes me trust that he really does care for me. If I definitely need surgery later, he’s my choice. He was thorough and explained all the risks and benefits of options.
Great doctor!
Dr Griffin is the best Ortho doc ever. He is so good to explain & listen to my questions. Thank you for having him on staff.
Great manners. Very respectful. Takes time with the patience.
Very informative
I’ve been seeing Dr Griffin for about 7 years and he’s always very thorough. I can ask him a dozen questions and not once has he ever made me feel Like I’m being a bother. I would highly recommend Dr Griffin!
Great bedside manner. Carries himself with confidence and is very relatable, he makes you feel at ease about your surgery. Two thumbs up!
