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.

Caring,, warm. Honest
Dr. Griffin was honest with me from the very beginning about risks. Which led us to reschedule my surgery for a later date. Although disappointing, I was grateful for the honesty to protect my results. His staff was available each time I had a question preop. They called weekly before my scheduled surgery date. They were friendly and supportive. The day of surgery they were very warm and informative. Dr. Griffin even called me personally after surgery to check on me. That floored me. I feel in good hands through the remainder of my post operative experience. If I ever need anything else done, I will definitely be choosing Dr. Griffin as my surgeon. I will review end this doctor to anyone who is going down a cosmetic enhancement journey. .

I am 90 days post op from abdominoplasty with lipo of the hips, flanks and thighs, and could not be more pleased with the results! I’m picky, and this doctor does fantastic work, and has excellent bedside manner. Most of all, he and his team communicate frequent and thoroughly. This surgery is no joke - it is complex, life changing, and takes tremendous patience during recovery - but Dr. Griffin and his entire team have been absolutely wonderful throughout this entire journey!

I had a mommy makeover two weeks ago. Dr. Griffin is very experienced as a plastic surgeon. He has great bedside manners and took the time to explain what he would do and what to expect. The office staff are very kind and professional. The nurses that work for him are very knowledgeable an informative. It has been a wonderful experience for me an I highly recommend him for your plastic surgery needs.

He misrepresented his skills, and how many times he had done what was a fairly new procedure. When he left me deformed, he at first offered to revise it, and later decided not to bother. He had his nurse call me and tell me not to come back after all, as he would not be seeing me again. I am left with a lifelong painful and expenseive-to-care-for condition, and spent all of my life savings to look worse than I started. Worst of all, he said things I can only call abusive in our last visit.

Dr. Griffin is AMAZING! Very charming, listens to your concerns, and has a lot of experience. His office staff is wonderful as well. I got my breast implants with him in 2008, and going back to get the exchange this year.

I feel like this surgeon has performed nothing short of magic on my body and self esteem. I would not hesitate to let this wonderful team of people assist me in the future and am so grateful for what they have done for me. And I might add that I am only 2 weeks and 4 days post op. ????????

He is very warm and friendly. Calls you personally after each procedure to check on you at home. I was surprised at how available he and his staff were to all of my questions. The entire staff is so welcoming.
