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.

Dr. Griffin's office is great! Always willing to listen and recommend the best treatments for a more youthful look. Her technique is pain free. Great experiences at the G Spa.

I have been coming to the Gspa for many years for my Botox , lasers and filler treatments. Dr G's entire team treats me like family and i have never regretted any treatment i have received there. Lastly, sometimes filler makes you swell and i have panicked and called and texted Dr G and her staff. Instead of treating me like a burden they support me till the swelling goes down and i realize i look great. The G spa is the best i would not think of going anywhere else.

Dr. Griffin comes with a wealth of education and experience. She clearly explained my treatment options and offered great suggestions! Love my results. Dr. Griffin and her staff have consistently provided me with skin care, including pico treatments, for 4 years. I am so grateful for the rejuvenation of my face.

I came to see Dr. Griffin to discuss what I thought might be early perimenopause symptoms. She was so patient and understanding and listened to my concerns around hormones. Only a few months later and not only are my symptoms better but I feel like a whole new person! I can't recommend Dr. Griffin enough, and as an added bonus she has a wonderful medical spa offering so many fun treatments! Highly recommend!

My daughter and I came to see Dr. Griffin to talk about IUD's specifically. Dr. G continued to steer the conversation to the pill and when I expressed my concerns regarding inappropriate hormones and their effect of young women's lives especially now that more studies, including the NY times article about the link between the pill and cancer, Dr. Griffin became VERY irrate and when we left after 15 min. they demanded payment of $300.00 in a certified letter the next day. Not going back.
