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. Griffie is a great Dr., and I would recommend anyone to see Dr. Griffie. Her kindness and concern about your problem is great.

Dr Susan Griffee-Belcher
She is a skilled pain doctor., has treated my various arthritis issues, spinal stenoses(cervical and lumbar) and kept my 79 year old body moving relatively pain free for many years. Her ability to study xray , target the area to inject and hit the necessary spot is the best i have found here in Pensacola. Besides, she is also a nice person. Highly recommend her.

Wasted 4 years of my life.
Everything from start to finish was bad. From the Clerk at the front desk to the doctor. None of them seem to care. This doctor is very rude and short with people including me. She doesn't care about anything except for procedures. She gaslighted me and I finally got tired of it and fired her. I'd rather suffer in pain then go back to her or that pain management office!! Doctor Griffee or Belcher, whatever her name is has NO EMPATHY WHATSOEVER!!

Lack of empathy and communication
I had my first visit with Dr. Griffee-Belcher today and was utterly disappointed by her lack of empathy, and communication. I have been under the care of pain management for many years now and have found a treatment course that has worked well enough to allow me to function as a normal human being most of the time. Dr. Belcher completely discounted that and wants me to “be ok” with medications that will not be equivalent to what I’ve been doing for years. Instead of actually talking to me and working through a new treatment plan, explaining how it will work to help me and what to expect, she treated me like she had made up her mind before stepping through the door. She spent maybe 5 minutes with me at most, didn’t even ask me relevant questions, and then dismissed me and my chronic pain as if I were insignificant and unworthy of a moment of compassion. She didn’t bother asking me about my history nor the constant improvements made over the years. I am not impressed nor happy with her.

One of the Best
I have been a patient of Dr. Griffee-Belcher since 2016. She has excellent expertise in spinal disorders which has helped to alleviate some of my constant low back and neck pain. Referral’s are scheduled in a timely manner. Her ability to listen to my needs and then put a treatment plan together is what has provided me some much needed relief. I am still under her care and couldn’t asked for a better doctor. I am so thankful that I was referred to her. She is a true professional who genuinely cares about her patients.

Excellent First Visit
Today was my first office visit with Dr. Griffee and it was a wonderful first impression. Dr. Griffee was very patient and our conversation was very thorough. She understood all of the issues that I was facing on a daily basis and was very compassionate. I am looking forward to getting to know each other better. If you’re looking for a doctor that takes time for you and doesn’t rush through your visit, I would recommend giving Dr. Griffee a chance as your new pain management doctor.

Dr. Griffee has been my pain management physician for 2 years now and I could not ask for a more professional and caring doctor. Despite being very busy, she has always listened to my concerns and we together have developed a care plan that has worked. My back pain has decreased and my mobility has increased. While I never expected 100% functional return. She has helped make my pain more tolerable with less medication. That for me is a win win.

At first, I loved Dr. Griffee, and actually did refer people to her, she seemed very caring. Long story, but her dismissing me, I would call legit, despite her giving me the kiss of death, that was not legit. 1 star, is her not noting pertinent information SHE said in my records (Can prove through other Drs). She also quite obviously copy and pasted. I can, through UDT results prove at least one of these through UDT reports. She also fails to note pertinent other Drs notes addressed to her.

She has to be the worst doctor for pain I have ever seen! She was quick to order a procedure for my back pain but when it comes to being in pain HANG IT UP!! She tried her little speech about how she doesn't prescribe narcotics but two people before me that seen her had scripts for Lortab!! Yes a narcotic!! She actually had the nerve to prescribe me Tramadol to take one pill a day for only 30 pills! My thoughts are she is a deceiving uncaring and a judgmental joke!! Plain And Simple!!
