Dr. Griffin listened to everything I had to say before he gave me any surgical options. Everything he has suggested has worked out great. One week after knee surgery and I was back in heeled shoes for work. His bedside manner is great too. Very easy to talk to.

Dr Griffin was very helpful and had several suggestions for the issue that I was having with my knee. He explained things very well to me and was very optimistic about being able to help me without having to have surgery at this time.
