About Me

Many people suffer with vascular disease or other vein issues that compromise their ability to function normally. Often, people don’t realize that they can and should do something about their vascular issue(s). They just live with it. I became a vascular specialist because I wanted to help my patients improve their overall health by first educating them on the importance of vascular health, and then treating their vascular disease problems so they can enjoy an improved quality of life.”

Everyone was very friendly and courteous.Dr. Griffin and staff listened to what I had to say and answered all my questions.

11/05/2025

This was first appointment with this Dr. Supposed to discuss and set up surgery. I saw P. A. and Nurse. They were helpful and knowledgeable, but I was disappointed the Dr didn't even stick his head in door to at least meet me before he starts cutting into me. Now I'm wondering if I should even bother having him as my surgeon

10/29/2025

Everyone was very helpful

10/29/2025

Thank you

10/22/2025

Dr. Griffin and his staff were exceptionally attentive to my questions and my mother's needs. And he was able to diagnose and predict and give us not only medical answers, but also possible ways to alter her diet and exercise that could benefit and extend her life. He was an amazing doctor. The staff was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

10/08/2025

I made the appointment a long time ago to be seen by Dr Griffin on a certain day, the day that he comes in and I ended up having to see the nurse practitioner and I was not too happy about that.

10/08/2025

Doctors and staff are very knowledgeable and professional about their work.

10/08/2025

love Dr Griffin and staff. Always sits down and takes time with me to answer all questions. Remembers me and my issues . Friendly and personable

10/01/2025

When making an appointment, guidance and directions to the site need to be given to the patient or family. My appointment was changed and we misunderstood about the location and went to whereI am currently receiving therapy for lymphedema and 3 other places before we found the correct location. We were on time for first appointment but at wrong place; so we got an employee to call the Dr. to let him know we were on our way, so it all worked out! Enjoyed meeting Dr. Griffin!

09/24/2025

09/03/2025

There are not enough positive words to properly portray my experience. This is a real HEALING practice. Everyone is positive and helpful. He didn't "throw pills at it". We actually discussed getting well and not masking symptoms. Very educating. These people care. I will be back!

I would recommend Dr. Griffin to anybody. He's good. He listens to you and he explains what's going on. I recommend him highly. Thank you.

08/06/2025

I witnessed the front desk deal with a confrontational patient. Apparently the patient had family with her that were having a phone conversation with the phone on speaker. The patient was loud yelling ugly at the front desk clerk. The clerk was extremely professional in handling the patient. Explaining that there is an office on the other side of wall, the patient continued with the ugly words. Through the whole time the the clerk reminded nice and extremely professional. The patient walked off still fussing. Myself and another patient made sure we complimented the staff for the way the situation was handled.

08/06/2025

Everything was done very professional and efficiently

08/06/2025

Outstanding service from the front desk, testing and visit with Dr. Griffin as well as the check out desk. Each person was extremely nice and patient. This spot is fine tuned. Thank you so very much.

03/19/2025

Everyone was professional. Nice.

03/19/2025

There was no point of my visit and it was a waste of time. They took my blood pressure and that was it.

03/12/2025

I brought in some test results for Dr. Griffin to see, and one of them, the nurse says, I don't need that. And basically, after I read it, it was in an envelope, so I hadn't read it, but once I read the results, it was definitely something that Dr. Griffin should have seen. So now I'm going to have to make sure next time I see him, I give him that test result so he can see, or the CT scan that he's going to run will show what that X-ray result showed. But I just think that the nurse shouldn't have easily just said, I don't need that, without reading it first. So, but that's it.

03/12/2025

We would not want to go anywhere else, for our medical treatment !

03/05/2025

The staff is very professional and I enjoy every time I go, I never have a problem. They answer all my questions and I'm very satisfied with everyone that works there.
