Dr Griffin and all his staff are outstanding in their patient care in all its aspects. He listens and explains the technical details very well to allow patients to understand their issues. His nurse Candice is super in her concerns for the patient. All the staff are supper friendly and efficient.

We love Dr Griffin and his medical staff! They are worth so much more than 5 stars on a board! They dont just see a patient, the see a person and treat them like family. He checks his patients personally after surgery and he shows he cares and will change surgery orders and things for what works best for the person. We have been so blessed having him and his team!

dr Griffin and his assistant and the rest of the staff from check-in until I left were all very kind and helpful. Dr Griffin and his assistant were very informative and listened to all of my concerns. They both listened carefully. This was my first visit, and he will be my surgeon. I am confident and comfortable knowing I will get pain relief from this surgery down the road. i was extremely pleased with my visit.

Visit was fine except for LPN Lisa. When she found out I was there for possible Phlebitis, she said dismissively I should have gone to my general practice physician. I said it's related to the surgery and we were told to come in to see Dr. Griffin, she sarcastically responded "I'm sure they told you that." Not professional or courteous. Nurse practitioner and Dr. Griffin were both very professional and very concerned and got me in to a Doppler Ultrasound as soon as possible to rule out blood clots. Not impressed with LPN Lisa!
