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.

hop replacement
I was very pleased to call and receive an office appointment the very next day. I was then told I did need my second hip replaced and that the office is 8 weeks out scheduling surgeries. I saw Dr. Griffin about a year and a half ago and knew the hip would eventually need to be replaced so I waited until my quality of life and pain level were at the need to have surgery levels only to find out I'd have to wait another 8 weeks. Dr. Griffin did a good job on my first hip replacement so I wanted to use him this time and thought I'd only have to wait a week or two. I was also told they have a long list of patients on the waiting list for cancellation slots. I am just disappointed at the time frame for the actual surgery.

I didn't see Dr. Griffin
I was supposed to be scheduled for a MRI and when I arrived, I was given an X-ray. I was told a MRI would have to be scheduled at another facility since Dr. Griffin does not do these. The PA - Kyle was extremely friendly and professional. I received a steroid shot and a prescription.

Referral to TOC from Madison Hospital
I was referred to Dr. Griffin of TOC by Dr. John McCormick of Madison Hospital. However, during my visit to TOC on 1 Aug 2024 I never saw a real MD only a physician's assistant.

Drs. Griffin and Claborn
Both doctors with whom I experienced care were so friendly, but willing to take the time necessary to explain what I had auestions about. My arm break was not the usual since it had been broken almost to the elbow previously, making this break and repair quite fragile. Yes, I definitely recommend Dr. Griffin and his Assistant, Dr. Claborn.

A Freat Doctor
I was a work-in on a busy day, but I still received friendly, efficient treatment for my problem. The doctor took time to work out the best solution, explained it, and then gave me 2 steroid shots. I appreciate a doctor like that VERY much.
