Dr. Griffith is an excellent surgeon. I have never met a doctor who has so much patience and understanding. A doctor who listens to your concerns and fears and answers any questions you have. I would have no other doctor do my gastric sleeve. Thank you Dr. Griffiths for everything you have done for me and my health.

Was very frightened about having surgery, but Dr. Griffiths put my mind at ease with a good bedside manner. I would recommend him to others.

Located in new building on Forge road. The office was clean. Plenty of parking and easy access to 81. I was very happy with my appointment. Like others have said, he explained things very well and took a lot of time with me. I would go back again, but I hope I don't have to!

Nice guy, very communicative. Answered all questions thoroughly. Procedure was executed flawlessly. We're lucky to have a doctor of his quality in our small town.

I had a hernia surgery. He explained all about the surgery and what to expect. Surgery was about 1 week later. I had a good experience.

Didn't have to wait long, and a comfortable waiting room. Small area with toys for the kids. I was very nervous, but the doctor explained everything really well. I'm glad I was sent here.

Gotta agree....ignore the complainer. So your doctor was in a good mood and obviously loves his family, and that's your complaint? How did you survive the appointment???Dr. Griffiths took my gallbladder out. He was professional, couteous, kind, and genuinely funny. The staff is great (Nikki & Dona, you're the best!) He took his time, explained my surgery, and never made me feel rushed. The blue eyes are a plus! I have no complaints at all.
