Dr. Griffith is by far the best doctor I have ever had! He has diagnosed 2 major health issues for me when no one else could figure it out and as a result, my quality of life has improved immensely. The practice is prompt at meeting their appointment times, but don't be in a hurry once they take you back as Dr. Griffith is very thorough. He listens and has a great bedside manner. I love the fact that he continues to research and learn new trends, treatments, etc. in the medical field. His staff is top notch and very knowledgeable themselves. They are always prompt to call back if you leave a message. I can't say enough good things about this practice.

Whenever we have any concerns or questions or need help, Dr Griffith and his top notch office team are available to us. They carefully track any existing issues to be sure we are proactively managing our health. When we had a recent health concern for our son, they pointed us in the right direction and helped us get a timely appointment.

Dr. Griffith has treated 3 generations on both sides of our family and saved the life of my mother (due to over-prescribing of dangerous medicines and the life of my spouse by insisting he have immediate heart tests and outpatient surgery.

Dr. Griffith joined the MDVIP group and though I really couldn't afford that service, I was willing to pay anything to keep him as my doctor. He always takes time to listen. Through that and expert medical judgement, he finds - and fixes - any problems.
