My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Griffith since he 'hung his shingle' in Olympia. In a community where growth has expanded health systems that otherwise remain, for the most part, out of touch with the human side of medical care, this practitioner remains an exception. Every aspect of his practice is remarkable. When you visit you are greeted by a space that is small, warm and inviting; one that strikes the right mix of professionalism and a personal touch. How often is even the reception space in most health care operations any kind of positive experience? Past reception you continue to receive an exceptional experience. Dr. Griffith appears to have intentionally designed a practice that affords his clients the time, energy and focus so rare these days in profit-driven health services. You get the strong impression that he really enjoys the interaction that quality care requires, working with his patients to 'sleuth' out the real causes for their affliction. At the same time, he doesn't leap to conclusions or dictate your remedy. Instead he leaves you the client in the 'driver's seat', engaging you to take a realistic stance on how your own behaviors can help your body stay out of trouble. He's your partner in your care from a truly whole person standpoint. Very rare and refreshing these days. We can't always get immediate positive results when we seek health care - no practitioner can guarantee that. But at least we should be able to expect care and advice that comes from a thoughtful and compassionate human being who is driven towards results for your benefit by all means available to that practitioner based on the scope of their practice. I no longer hold that expectation in my dealings with modern health care in America, but I still get that and much more in my experiences with Dr. Griffith. I grew up in West Olympia and consider his practice to be an important asset to the local community. Keep up the good work Dr. Griffith. Trent Kelly read more

Dr. Griffith is an amazing physician. I feel incredibly lucky to have found him in a time where most of the medical industry is focused on profits instead of patients. Dr. Griffith is different -- he prioritizes the patient. After I truly committed to following his treatment plan (which admittedly took me a few years), I can honestly say that I am a transformed person in body and mind. People I've known my whole life tell me that I've reverse-aged and that I look incredible. My chronic issues are under control and I feel great almost everyday. Dr. Griffith is not selling fake cures. He's a doctor akin to Oliver Sacks. Every patient is a human being, and also a puzzle to solve. Dr. Griffith is an amazing listener and an extraordinarily patient human being, yet he is also a great problem solver focused on scientific solutions. It took some time for him to get to know me and also for me to learn to listen and to trust him. I have an individualized treatment plan that he updates after each visit. It includes a combination of diet, lifestyle, traditional medicine, vitamins and supplements, and other habits and interventions. On one final note, I decided to leave this review after I saw some of the bizarre one-star reviews on here. I can only speak to my own experience, but those reviews don't resemble the doctor that I have come to know. Dealing with chronic medical issues can truly wear you down and make you feel hopeless, and I think a lot of us have been hurt by the medical industry. But, it's important to know that even an amazing doctor can't fix all of your problems in a single visit. Anyone offering you that -- or any sort of magical pill for that matter -- is probably not worth your money. Treating the whole person requires a lot more than that, and this is what he's offering in his practice. read more

Dr. Thomas Griffith is a outstanding Naturopath doctor that I would highly recommend. He listens while really caring , he takes the time to ask questions to determine how to proceed. I went to see him 3 years ago with a diagnosis of a frozen shoulder I could not lift my arm painful and frustrating . He suggested trying Dmso injections a (alternative treatment) with light arm exercises and lets just say it worked I was so happy I could lift and move my arm again. I recently seen him for acute to strong pain in my left hip and nothing would work to relieve the pain so I knew I needed to see Dr ,Griffith .I decided to have the Dmso injections again with other suggestions from him and after a few injections I have been pain free again now for almost 3 months. He believes in whole foods and taking whole food supplements as well and me being a Holistic Health Coach this is so important for me . I also like his expertise when ever I have a question he has a good answer and how well he works with my Chiropractor/Medical Doctor to come up with a personalized health plan just for me . In closing I highly recommend making a appointment if your struggling with your health. The office works very well to accommodate appointment times they even work with most insurance companies and another plus everyone is so friendly . read more

Doc Griffith is my first choice for my primary health care! I appreciate the way he listens to me and then attends to what is going on. I feel cared for and valued as a person who actually knows a bit about my body. Doc Griffith has helped me overcome chronic sinus and lung issues without antibiotics or conventional prescriptions. And whilst everyone around me was down with the yucky respiratory/sinus cold going around, i stayed healthy and well. Bonus!! Lately i've been dealing with my elderly mother's medical issues, at her "conventional" medical facilities/doctors. Seeing how those places treat their patients causes me to appreciate Doc Griffith and Tracey even more!! When i call i don't have to navigate the many-optioned automated phone system. Another bonus! So, thank you Vital Healthcare. And as Billy Joel said, "don't go changin'" read more

Dr. Griffith is by far one of the best doctors I've been to. I see another naturopath who referred me to see Dr. Griffith for IV treatments for low iron. I also see a MD who agreed with the course of treatment. I was nervous when I first started going as I also suffer from frequent panic attacks. Dr. Griffith was so understanding and compassionate. Him and his receptionist practically sat there with me the whole time my first treatment (there were no other patients). The office is clean and he is very punctual. I ended up buying some of his tinctures when I got bronchitis and sinus cold. They worked like magic and I have sent my friends and family to see him for any and all ailments. I have to say of all the my doctors I go to, he is by far the most knowledgeable and helpful. read more

If you are looking for a doctor who is willing to look at you as an individual and not as an 8-minute slot to fill, Dr. Griffith is your best bet. He takes the time to learn about you, your health, and is very thoughtful in the guidance he offers. He is a bit of a data geek which means he doesn't just defer to common practice. He takes the time to discuss your situation, develop a plan with you, and then supports you in your process. He and his staff are kind and nonjudgemental. There are no perfect fix-it-all doctors or methods, but with Dr. Griffith, you can expect that you will have a health partner who is evidence-based, passionate about helping people get better, and humble enough to meet you where you are in your wellness path. read more

Tom is an amazing doctor. He listens carefully to your concerns and then addresses these concerns with lab work. You will have to put in the effort to get your lab work done. As soon as the results from your lab work is received by the doctor you are notified by text or email to do a follow-up appointment for the reading. Dr Griffith not only listens but he tries to help in any way possible to relieve your pain. I have a degenerated neck disease and so he gives more than just one option to deal with pain. I'm satisfied with my health care and he also is not pushy with stuff to buy that he has on hand. He says if you can get it cheaper by Amazon than do so. Yep the doctor and his partner are amazing hands down. read more

I would like to thank Doctor Griffith and his wife Trayce for: providing me with help during my cancer treatment, and providing a very pleasant and upbeat place for visits. My pain level has dropped dramatically, and I feel much better. Doctor Griffith did not offer me a miracle cure - but he offered help, and I and my family are very pleased with my health improvement. He is knowledgable in many areas. He listens to what you have to say and works to help you. If you believe you need more than conventional treatment for whatever illness you are facing I recommend that you schedule a meeting with Doctor Griffith. My insurance pays for most things. They do the billing themselves read more

Dr. Thomas Griffith has assisted me and my family for years for a variety of conditions. He is always up on the latest in holistic and functional medicine and he cares for his patients and treats the whole person. As an educator up on the latest research, he cuts through all the fads and myths around weight loss with proven solutions that work. We have learned so much from him and he designs personal plans for each of us. I have also learned a lot around the effectiveness of intermittent fasting, and the plant based diet education he has given us. I cannot recommend him enough. We travel to Olympia from Seattle because when it comes to health, we desire the very best care. read more

Trigger Point Injections. I have to admit, the term worried me and I was skeptical. However, having been a patient of Dr. Griffith's for 5 years, I know that he is a thorough, and discerning practitioner. He does his research about treatments, therapies, supplements, etc... and then adds some common sense into the mix before making a decision about what he prescribes. So, when he suggested we try TPI for my neck pain, I agreed. After 4 treatments, my neck pain is so much better. I am very thankful for his careful use of the treatment and his skill at administering the injections. I am looking forward to a better year with less pain. read more

I was very sick at one time with the symptoms of arthritis, inflammation, IBS, and a few other things going wrong. I was going to the top health care facilities in Seattle at the time and their only answer was to use Pregnazon at very high doses. This experience was devastating so I searched for alternatives. I heard of Dr. Thomas Griffith through a friend and he took the time to research my symptoms and figure out what I had. I changed my diet and started to follow his plan. Today I have very few issues and I'm thankful everyday for his caring nature. Leslie Olympia read more

I've been seeing Dr. Griffith for help with getting my hormones under control. I am one of the unlucky ones who has extreme moodiness, hot flashes, night sweats and dryness due to being in menopause. After seeing two other doctors, a primary care MD and an OB/GYN, Dr. Griffith is the one who knew what to try to get my symptons under control. I feel so much better and rarely think about my hormonal status because I feel like my old self again. He's a really smart man who knows what he's doing when it comes to providing outstanding patient care. read more

Dr. Griffith and his team are exemplary. His dedication to care and passion to deliver results with his patients is clear from the get-go. From his continuous line of communication to custom care plans, I always feel like I am getting the very best care possible (and necessary). I am confident in his plan, 100% of the time, because they've always brought me positive results. I'd recommend Dr. Griffith to anyone in need of a highly educated, full bodied and holistic approach to turn around any health concerns/issues. read more

Dr. Griffith is a wonderful doctor. He comes from many years of experience and his patients love him. I've had the wonderful opportunity to work with him for years and all of our shared patients couldn't be happier with the care they receive from his office. He will find a plan that works for you that is practical and reasonable. If you're in the Olympia/ south-end of Seattle don't pass up the opportunity to see an amazing Naturopath, you wont be disappointed! I promise! Hannah Epstein, MS, CN Actual Wellness read more

After being diagnosed by Virginia Mason with drug induced lupus from a toxic reaction to Cipro, I wanted to explore other options besides prednisone, pain killers, and plaquenil. Having an auto immune disease also brings on other secondary issues such as chronic sinus and bladder infections. This man has been more thorough than any doctor I have ever seen, and has successfully prevented or treated all my symptoms. His knowledge of both conventional medicine and natural remedies is astounding. read more

Keep in mind when reading yelp reviews that yelp selectively displays negative reviews as preferred reviews when business owners do not sign up for yelp and pay them.  This practice actually has 22 reviews that yelp does not display that are also worth looking at but yelp will not display the. Also it's probably best to choose your doctor based on different factors than how you choose a restaurant.  You don't have to like or agree with your doctor for them to be doing a good job.  Just saying read more

Another great experience with Dr. Griffith! I've always had issues with migraine headaches and after spending a ton of money on supplements and specialists, I learned that Dr. Griffith performs a simple nerve procedure that only took 10 minutes and gives me instant relief from my severe migraine headaches. Now I see him once a month for the SPG nerve block and my headaches don't come back. I am so thankful for his expertise, It's been a life changer for me! read more
