Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was hit by a boat at 15 years old and had 7 cranial fractures (along with many other injuries)! Dr. Griffin, seeing I had braces, consulted with my orthodontist and an oral surgeon before performing my plastic&reconstructive surgery. HE IS AMAZING!! 17 years later you CAN NOT tell I have 5 metal plates in my face (my doctors don’t even know until I tell them or they do an x-ray) and you cannot tell I have ever been in an accident at all!! 1000/10 I would recommend Dr. Griffin! His bedside manner to my parents and to myself during that terrifying and horrendous time reassured us we were in The Best hands! Honest. Kind. Sincere. Patient. and Thorough would be the words I would use to describe him! We had a couple “snaffoos” while I was hospitalized (with nurses and other doctors) Dr. Griffin was always available and always made things right. We felt so safe and protected with Dr. Griffin!

I am a breast cancer survivor and I just want to say that Dr. Griffin is an amazing plastic surgeon. Wonderful in the office & great bed side manner at the hospital. Made my husband and I feel comfortable and at ease prior to surgery. Even right before surgery he sat done with me and my husband and went over everything that would take place in surgery. He saw me right after surgery & everyday during my hospital stay. The results were amazing. I highly recommend him. So impressed with his skills.

My surgery went smoothly, which I attribute to Dr. Griffin’s excellent training, extensive experience, and skill. I am a physician and have very high standards for other physicians. Dr. Griffin is professional and serious but he is also warm and understanding. I was a little scared and he was reassuring in a believable and realistic way. I felt very well cared for throughout the entire entire experience and would highly recommend Dr. Griffin as an exceptional physician who genuinely cares

I can not speak highly enough of my entire experience with Dr. Griffin. HIs staff was incredibly attentive and accessible, as was he! He called me and texted me directly before and after surgery. He made a specific trip to remove my post-surgery drains on a weekend, to help keep me comfortable. As a 38 year old mother of 3 Dr. Griffin has me looking better than I have EVER looked, and feeling great. The man understood every little issue I had and addressed them perfectly! He is genius!
