My experience with the three stages of TN was severe pain and had it not been, by the grace of God in meeting Dr. Griffith, the outcome would have been different. Dr. Griffith is a faith based neurosurgeon with excellent skills and matter of fact analysis of your situation. I have had two surgeries and am completely satisfied with him as my doctor of choice, God Bless Dr. Griffith.

Dr. Griffith is an amazing surgeon and provider. He was the first physician who took interest in helping me after being treated very poorly by several others in the area. He was very thorough in his examination, in discussing treatment options, and then when explaining surgery. My family were all extremely impressed with him when they met him the day of surgery. They said he did an excellent job of answering questions, explaining the surgery and then explaining how the surgery went. They said he was very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. The surgery went smoothly and now that I have recovered I feel like my old self again. He has given me my life back and I could not be more appreciative.

Extremely intelligent, caring doctor. He takes extra time to comfort and explain his recommendations. I would recommend him to anyone. Great staff. Very professional but personal.

I believe he is knowledgeable and a decent surgeon but seems very uncaring towards patient. Lacks compassion in general and seems very self absorbed. I wouldn't recommend him even with his skills for that reason sadly. Could be more understanding, helpful and caring
