I was very unhappy with the experiance we had with this doctor. Everything i mentioned to the doctor he did not take into consideration. I felt like i was talking to a wall. It was very dirty and the staff was not friendly at all. We will not go back and I will not recremend tgis doctor to anyone. Very disapointing!

My son was a patient of doctor griffin...I did not feel like he was really understanding anything i would mention to him .. My son had a pooping problem and doctor griffin told me it was normal.... But screaming crying in pain everytime you poop is not normal. Im very glad i made a switch! He does not have enough experience!
