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.

Good doctor but very poor scheduling practice. On 2 to 3 occasions, had to wait 1 to 2 and a half hours past my appointment time: left him for that reason. Staff said was due to new patients taking longer to evaluate. Should have eventually recognized and adjusted for that.

Dr. Griffith has been my neurologist since 1982, when he started testing me for MS (pre-MRI era). Unfortunately, the tests were positive. He has been with me and for me ever since. Dr. Griffith is one of the few doctors I've had who actually listens; he doesn't just treat an illness/disease, he treats me as a whole person. He's interested in my life and my ups-and-downs. He is always positive and I can't remember a single time when we haven't ended up laughing during one of my many visits.

I have had MS since 1989. Dr. Griffith has been my neurologist since the early 1990s. He has kept me healthy and sane. I shudder to think of him retiring.
