I've been seeing Dr. Griggs for over 15 years. Warm, caring and with a good sense of humor, I have enjoyed interacting with him. He calls himself a "meat and potatoes doctor" which means I am getting his view in language that I can understand.

Look at ALL the five-star rating below, and know that every positive attribute mentioned by those other patients of Dr Griggs is absolutely true.
