My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Dr Griffin was recommended by our oncologist for reconstruction. Dr Griffin is very experienced and thus far the recovery has been smooth. read more

I underwent breast reconstruction with this surgeon over the course of four surgeries beginning in November 2024..My overall experience was very disappointing. Throughout the process, My surgeries were scheduled,cancelled and repeatedly rescheduled, which created significant stress and disruption. Post-operative care was unreliable, and communication was inconsistent. At times, I felt there was a lack of coordination between the office and the Surgeon leading to confusion and uncertainty about what to expect next. .Dr Griffin stressed that he can always be reached by phone.However over the course of 2 days the office staff insisted that they tried repeatedly and did not hear back from him, stating "he must be in a very remote location" My first surgery was a 3 day stay in the hospital in a great deal of pain.Although the physician was updated through the nurses he never once came to my bedside to make a personal connection for even one minute. This was already a vulnerable and important medical journey for me, and unfortunately the experience felt chaotic. Instead of feeling supported and cared for, I often felt like I was just another transaction rather than a patient going through a complex reconstruction process.I am a Registered Nurse and have worked in many physicians practices.I know what it takes to make a pt feel like they are welcomed,respected and treated as an individual. Near the end of my surgical journey, I expressed my frustration and hurt to one of the cosmetic staff whose name is Marianne.She responded to me in a menacing tone: "Maybe you'd like to go elsewhere for your care" I had hoped for a smoother, more compassionate experience given the nature of these procedures. Based on my experience with this office and the surgeon I cannot recommend this practice to anyone. read more

Dr. Griffin and his staff are amazing. I had a reconstructive abdominal surgery with him and will go back to his office for any reconstructive or cosmetic surgery in the future. The surgery coordinator, Mary Ann, is wonderful to work with. She is passionate and accommodates you as much as she possible. I also have an unusual problem with my forehead and Dr. Griffin has made it unnoticeable with proper injections. read more

Dr Griffin did a revision breast reconstruction on me recently and my experience with him was fantastic. He went above and beyond to give me the best results. His entire staff from the front desk to the medical assistants to the Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistant were just so kind and caring. read more

TW: eating disorder Dr. Griffin is unprofessional, and I do not recommend him. I need a medically necessary breast reduction due to chronic back and neck pain. When I saw him in October he told me to lose weight (I was 240 lbs at the time) and I agreed, but mentioned that due to PCOS and mobility issues it is hard for me to lose weight. Surprisingly, he didn't know what PCOS is! He responded that exercise doesn't matter, it's all about calorie deficit; he joked that I need to "starve" myself. He actually used the word starve! I was so shocked that I didn't say anything in the moment. Not only was this advice was cruel, but it was also dangerous. Starving myself wouldn't make me healthier...following his advice would just result in an eating disorder. He also has no right to give me nutritional advice when he doesn't even know what PCOS is. I ended up ignoring the red flags because of how desperate I was for the surgery. I spent several months trying to get all the paperwork sent over. The front desk ladies were very kind and professional on the phone. Then in January I called them to check for updates on if insurance had made a decision on my claim - and they told me they hadn't contacted my insurance yet, which was confusing to me since they had all the paperwork. She asked me how much I weigh and I said 225, as I've been working hard to lose weight. She then informed me that my BMI is still too high and I had to be 180 lbs before they even contacted insurance! The doctor never told me that number in my consultation, and there I was proud of my weight loss...it really crushed me at the time. It frustrates me that I wasted so many months without this critical information. Thankfully I decided to get a second opinion. I found an amazing female surgeon who informed me that my body weight is totally fine, she understood that PCOS and mobility issues makes weight loss a slower process for me, and said my current weight of 215 (yay I've lost 25 lbs in 6 months!) is completely fine for surgery. Turns out that Dr. Griffin's BMI requirement was HIS preference, not an actual requirement! My new surgeon is empathetic, professional, and her portfolio has even better results than Dr. Griffin's. I'm glad I trusted my gut and went with someone else! read more

After mulitple breast reconstruction surgeries that resulted in both implants flipping on a daily basis, I decided to meet with Dr. Griffin. Instead of simply exchanging the implants to a larger size, as had been done by my prior surgeon, Dr. Griffin told me that he could make the breast pockets smaller using internal and external suturing. With smaller breast pockets, he could replace my implants with a smaller size. Since my breast cancer journey started with a reduction/lift that uncovered my cancer, I was very relieved to hear that instead of being bigger than I was originally I could have smaller breasts that did not flip. I am 3 months post op and look and feel great. I look better than I did after my initial reduction/lift!! Who thought recon could look so good?! Dr. Griffin is a genious in the OR and interpersonally is amazing as well. As this was my 4th recon surgery I had almost given up hope, but he took the time to explain how he could provide me with the result I wanted. Through office visits and texts, he assured me every step of the way. I will be forever thankful for his skill and kindness! read more

Amazing doctor! Awesome personality! Loved the staff and they are so professional! Would recommend him!

Super pleased with Dr Griffin. He is incredibly talented and gifted at his craft. His bedside manners and conscience post op care was phenomenal... always responding immediately and thoughtfully. read more

Dr. John Griffin and PA Jennifer Mooney are a great team. Dr. Griffin did amazing job for my DIEP Flap Surgery, and I'm highly recommending him. I'm h: 5'4" w: 123 and before operation people doubt that I will have enough for my breast to look good. It looks awesome, the scars are very accurate, perfect breast size. I'm really happy that I did this operation with Dr. Griffin, thank you a lot. read more

Dr. Griffin is an amazing surgeon who understood my condition and operated on me twice. I am still in recovery but pleased with the results so far. He is communicative and spends time to explain everything and really helped me have no anxiety or concerns. He has a great team as well and my procedure went super smooth. read more

Dr Griffin performed a nose job for me last December. I did my research (as I am new to the area) and I am glad I paid attention to the reviews. His equipment is state of the art, his staff was more than friendly and professional, he was knowledgeable and very thorough in explaining my options and the procedure. I must say, the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The procedure didn't take long, and was a lot less painful than I had prepared myself for. Healing only took a few weeks and I could tell I had made the right decision immediately. I also had my first botox injection around that same time in his office and I was pleasantly surprised at how painless and natural it looks. 6 months later, I am very very pleased with the results! Sometimes I catch myself staring in the mirror for way too long just admiring the work he did. If I can figure out how to post a picture, I will be happy to! read more

John R. Griffin, M.D - My before and after nose job. It is only 6 months later and it's perfect! I highly recommend Dr. Griffin for rhinoplasty. - Plastic Surgeons Near Me - San Mateo, California

Dr. John Griffin and his staff (Yoselin Macias and Jill Vallero) saved my life. What more be said? read more

I think the world of Dr Griffin. He saw me through reconstruction following a mastectomy. He's compassionate, funny, practical and an excellent surgeon. Several nurses told me, following my initial surgery, that if they needed plastic surgery they would choose him. Thank you so much Dr Griffin!!! read more

Dr Griffin was recommended by a frd when I learned I needed a mastectomy and breast reconstruction. At our initial consult he spent considerable time with me laying out my reconstruction options and warned me that it typically takes 3-4 surgeries to get it perfect. !!! I told him I wanted just one surgery ideally because of my other chronic medical conditions and I was choosing to have an implant that would be as close to my other noncancerous breast. The day of my mastectomy I had immediate reconstruction. After that my follow up visits felt hurried and infrequent. I started to get capsular contraction and he told me to move around more. I had done the post surgery exercises they advised plus PT and still ended up with a deformed breast much larger than my other breast. I'm now seeing another plastic surgeon at Stanford who will do the reconstruction with a smaller implant, called textured and tear drop, which wasn't even an option originally presented to me by Dr G for better symmetry. Every doc that seen my breast since Dr Gs surgery says the implant looks far too large to even closely match my other breast. read more

I have worked with Dr. Griffin for years and can easily attest to his skills. Impeccably trained at the number one rated plastic surgery program in the nation Dr. Griffin established himself as a leader in the broad field of plastic surgery. Extremely skilled technically, empathetic and kind to all Dr. Griffin brings a level of humanity and kindness to his practice. Able to execute the more difficult and state of the art microsurgical breast reconstruction procedures but with an artists eye towards the most aesthetic results. Additionally, Dr. Griffin is skilled in all areas of Cosmetic Surgery and pediatric hand surgery. You won't find a better surgeon or physician in the Bay Area. read more

My primary care physician referred Dr. Griffin to me in 2012 because I wanted information on having a breast reduction. He took his time with me answered all my questions. Told him at that time I wasn't ready. He put no pressure on me to have the surgery, just told me to come back when I was ready. Fast forward to April 2014 when I scheduled my appointment to see him because I was finally ready to schedule. I decided not only to have a breast reduction/ lift I also had abdominoplasty. He takes his time with you and explains everything to you. Even gives you his cell phone number which is very unusual for a doctor. They usually just have you call the office. He's an excellent surgeon and I'm very happy with my new body. Thank you Dr. Griffin! I would highly recommend him! read more

I should have written this before. I had my surgery March 12 and I am extremely pleased with my surgery. Dr. Griffin was phenomenal.so too was his staff. He cares not just about what he has done. One of follow up visits was after my first chemo. Not only did he remember but it was the first question - "How did your chemo go?" He went above and beyond my expectations as a surgeon. I highly recommend his practice! read more

I must honestly say, from the bottom of my heart, that this man is doing wonders for the patients in our community. He is kind, he attentive, and above all he is a perfectionist! Although I do not work for him, I work with him and I would be more than comfortable recommending Dr Griffin to ANY of my family or friends. His reconstruction work for breast cancer patients is outstanding and if it were me, I would welcome his expertise and treatment. Thank you Dr Griffin, for helping to heal our very special community of breast cancer patients, and for your wonderful work with the patients who just want to feel better about themselves. read more

Dr. Griffin did a breast reduction for me; I am thrilled with his work and staff. He was professional and caring. His work was excellent. He knows plastic surgery and I recommend him wholeheartedly! read more

In August of 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and subsequently after consultations chose Dr. Griffin to operate on me following a double mastectomy. Dr. Metkus performed the first surgery with Dr. Griffin completing the plastic surgery phase. My case was a little more complicated as I needed to use the latissimus dorsi muscle for the chest area. He is a genius! From the very beginning his staff make me feel welcome and comfortable and the sensitivity I experienced from both the Dr. and staff was like none other. I knew from the beginning that my case required another one or two surgeries and prepared myself accordingly. I was never fearful of the procedures as I felt so confident in the Dr.'s. Dr. Griffin spent so much time with my husband and myself explaining the procedure as well as any complications with much empathy and insight, plus explaining the next surgery in detail, that I really was not fearful and was able to go into surgery with a very positive attitude for my outcome. He took the time to get to know us in such a way that I felt completely at ease with him as my surgeon. I really feel that I had the dream team for this type of surgery. I had the first of two surgeries in October and Dr. Griffin visited me in the hospital every day and made sure I wasn't sent home until really stable and able. He reassured me of the outcome and followed up once or twice a week with office visits. His skills as a surgeon are amazing and so thorough. We really felt that he cared about us during my healing phase and took an interest in what we were like as a family. He was always hopeful and positive. He reinforced the most important time is the healing phase. I was even able to text him during the weekend with questions without feeling intrusive as he wanted to know any concerns I may have had. I had my second reconstruction surgery in January 2019 and I feel like a new woman. The gift that Dr. Griffin gave me is a new lease on life and an outcome that is comfortable, natural and beautiful. Above all I am healthy and feel great in clothes. I embrace him as a fantastic human being and a gifted plastic surgeon. I would recommend Dr. Griffin and his office for any procedures needed. They are all truly wonderful! read more

Dr. Griffin performed my breast reconstruction surgery. Going through cancer is hard, however, Dr. Griffin made this experience a very pleasant one. His sense of humor and bed side manner are excellent. I am very happy with work he did. I highly recommend Dr. Griffin. read more

Dr. John Griffin is the best! Over the last few years, Dr. Griffin has cared for me through major surgery and the subsequent physical and emotional challenges that come with breast cancer. He's always optimistic and confident, and he can back that up with his superior surgical skills. He takes time to get to know you, your hobbies, your concerns...he's really interested in making sure you have all the answers to any question you may have about your care. His staff is also the best...kind and courteous receptionist, friendly medical assistants, and knowledgeable, sympathetic nurse practitioners. I vetted him pretty thoroughly, but everyone said to choose Dr. Griffin, and he certainly was a critical part of my team of doctors. My surgical outcome was much better than I expected thanks to him. Of course I was terrified, but Dr. Griffin helped alleviate my fears with his patience and confidence. He encouraged me to continue exercising in order to be as strong as I could prior to my surgery. I love to cycle, so Dr. Griffin closely monitored my recovery because he knew I wanted to get back on my bike as soon as possible. Luckily he's also into fitness, so he understood me and empathized with my desire to stay fit throughout the entire process. Interview other doctors if you're having plastic surgery, but choose the best one...Dr. Griffin! read more

Dr. Griffin and his staff are amazing. I recently had lipo various places on my body. Dr. Griffin did a wonderful job and has been available 24/7 by cell phone for any questions or concerns. In addition he has an amazing sense of humor which not only makes him a good surgeon but fun to be around. In addition to his talents in the operating room he apparently is a great judge of character with his support staff. Cici is an absolute gem. She is caring and her follow thru is second to none. I will miss them both once I am done healing. Perhaps then it will be time for another procedure. I highly recommend this practice. read more

I am surprised to read any negatives about Dr. Griffin. Our experience was great!! Almost a year ago, my wife went through a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Everyone I talked to spoke very highly of Dr. Griffin so going in I felt very comfortable. In what was a very difficult time for my wife and Dr. Griffin immediately put her at ease. His sense of humor and the way he explained the procedure made her feel better. He didn't talk down to us but explained everything. He was always available to answer questions. After the procedure he met us on a Saturday to do follow up. The results are great and my wife is very pleased. Thank you Dr. Griffin!!!! read more

I went in for a consultation with Dr. Griffin about a year ago and it went beautifully. I was sold and would only come here to get any procedure done. He is truly thorough and very personable, his staff is accomodating and he makes sure all your questions are answered and even posts some of his own that help you think outside the box to ask the pertinent things that make or break your decision. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Griffin has performed many procedures on me and he is amazing. I have to admit, I am a bit difficult to please and am quite impressed with his precision and attention to detail. He is compassionate and reasonable. His staff is always kind and welcoming. I feel comfortable going to the practice, as I am always warmly welcomed there. I highly recommend Dr. Griffin. He is a great surgeon and a great guy. read more

I would like to start by saying I have never written a Yelp review; however, given how Dr. Griffin has changed my life and the importance of finding a good doctor for any type of surgery, I thought it was important to share my experience. I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer at the age of 25. I met with multiple doctors at various healthcare providers throughout the Bay Area, but it wasn't until I met Dr. Griffin and Dr. Metkus at Palo Alto Medical Foundation did I feel like my doctors were finally listening to what I wanted. It was recommended that I get a mastectomy and reconstruction. Dr. Griffin spent hours with me and my family helping me make the right decision for what type of reconstruction to get. I opted for the DIEP reconstruction because of my age and long term effects. This was the best decision I made throughout my year and a half long battle with Breast Cancer because the end results are amazing! Don't get me wrong, the surgery is tough, but Dr. Griffin is truly an artist. He listened to me when I had an opinion, respected of the journey I was facing and gave me the bonus of a flat stomach! Dr. Griffin, his staff and the nurses at the hospital are truly wonderful people. I could not have made it through this tough time without their support!. read more

Dr Griffin is a very caring professional doctor and really knows his stuff. I will never trust anyone but him. If I were to do the same procedure again I would pick Dr Griffin over n over again. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a plastic surgery. read more

Let me just start with saying how phenomenal Dr. Griffin, CiCi and his staff are! My experience from the moment I met Dr. Griffin at my consultation to the last check in visit I had have all been amazing. The moment I met him I was instantly comfortable and shortly after, knew he was the one for me. He is personable, very sincere and highly recommended. Dr. Griffin and CiCi followed-up with me personally every single day before and after my operation to make sure I was healing properly. I was amazed by their genuineness and overall concern for my well-being. I removed both implants to hopefully heal and go back to Dr. Griffin for a real operation. I trust his input- fully~ If you're looking for a plastic surgeon who goes above and beyond, and cares about you as a person and not just a body to perfect, go to Dr. Griffin. I'm happy to speak to anyone who has further questions offline. Just message me through Yelp read more

I first met Dr. Griffin when I attended a Q&A session hosted by Bay Area Cancer Connections in Palo Alto. I was very impressed by his knowledge of breast reconstruction techniques and options, as well as his calm, confident demeanor and his ability to put the attendees at ease when discussing a topic that is often fraught with anxiety and emotion. I later scheduled a consultation with his office, and knew immediately that I'd found the right Surgeon to perform my revision breast reconstruction surgery. Dr. Griffin ultimately performed 5 separate surgeries in the span of a year. Prior to each, he took the time to carefully explain and illustrate is surgical plan, and answer my questions about the surgery, recovery, follow-up and expected results. I never felt rushed or that my questions or concerns were unimportant. He took the time to get to know me and my husband, ask about my life and our family and what I could expect from each step in the process. He's a surgical genius and a skilled physician, but also a very kind, compassionate and empathetic person. During my in-patient surgeries, he saw me every day post-op to make sure I was comfortable and healing well, and checked in via text once I was home. Although his surgical practice is extremely busy, I never felt like my questions or concerns were trivial or unworthy of his time and attention. Thanks to Dr. Griffin and his excellent care team, I feel whole and confident again after a long and necessary, yet disfiguring, road of breast cancer treatment. Thank you, Dr. Griffin! You're the Best!! read more

I can't begin to say enough good things about Dr. Griffin. After a breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent double mastectomy, it was a true silver lining to have such a fabulous surgical team. He worked seamlessly with my breast cancer surgeon. His bedside manner is great - and that's hard to find in a surgeon. He truly made me feel at ease and confident in every decision I was making and really guided me with the pluses and minuses of all the options. The only complaint I might have is sometimes you have to wait a bit in his office for the appointment. I've has one or two situations where they've had to reschedule my office appointment because something has come up, but that's surely the nature of the business when you are dealing with mastectomy or non-planned surgeries such as this. They have always called well in advance and quickly rescheduled. I would be 100% confident in recommending him to a family member or friend. read more

Dr. John Griffin is the greatest doctor I have ever gone to. He makes you feel so comfortable; like you have known him all your life. He is a miracle worker. Thank god for doctors like him. I was diagnosed with DCIS 0 stage after 3 lumpectomies & no clear margins, I had a mastectomy. Dr. Griffin gave me a couple of options. I opted for fat to be taken from my stomach to be replaced in my breast. I am the process of reconstruction. Dr. Griffin is SO caring of his patients. It is not unusual for him to call you and personally ask how you are doing. He is a perfectionist if you need plastic surgery of any kind. If you don't have HIM as your doctor, you have the WRONG one. - Cindy Minaidis read more

I was referred to Dr. Griffin years ago by a friend. I had undergone (cosmetic) surgery by another doctor some years prior to that and was very unhappy with the results. After the first consultation with Dr. Griffin, I knew I was in very capable hands. He is young, which I liked, because he was up on all of the latest techniques, very professional, and he made me feel relaxed. He has a great sense of humor, which I also liked as it helps keep the patient at ease before surgery. Dr. Griffin explains everything he will be doing, before, during and after your surgery. He's open and honest about what you are having done. The results are fabulous! A lot of my friends have gone to Dr. Griffin, whether it's for surgery, Botox, or Restylane. There will be some bruising. That is a given, but the results are well worth a little short-term discoloration. Dr. Griffin also does reconstruction surgery in connection with breast cancer. Give Dr. Griffin a call, you won't be sorry. JO read more

I went in for a consultation for a Rhinoplasty & Breast Augmentation with Dr. Griffin a year ago & right away, I was extreamly comfortable. He made me feel at ease. Prior to that, I had seen & spoke to about 5 or 6 different doctors, & not once did I feel confident in having any work done by them. Dr. griffin has a way of making you feel as if he's known you for years & actually cares about what YOU want. Not only is he fantastic, the staff is wonderful! If you're looking for an all around amazing doctor & terrific experience I highly recommend Dr. Griffin! read more

I am a breast cancer survivor and I just want to say that Dr. Griffin is an amazing plastic surgeon. Wonderful in the office and great bed side manner at the hospital. Made my husband and I feel comfortable and at ease prior to surgery. Even right before surgery he sat done with me and my husband and went over everything that would take place in surgery. He saw me right after surgery and everyday during my hospital stay. He went over what to expect in the months following the surgery. The results of Doctor Griffin's skilled hands were amazing. Everyone who has seen the results can not believe I had surgery. I give all the credit to Dr. Griffin. He continues to check in on me. If I ever need to have work done again, I would definitely go back to him. I highly recommend him as a plastic surgeon. His skills, techniques and bedside manner are above any other plastic surgeons in the area. My goal for surgery was to be able to look in the mirror and not see cancer but see a healthy woman. He made that dream come true. In my book he gets an A+ or 5 stars. Thank you Dr. Griffin. read more

I would not let this guy work on my dog much less me. The interview, and that was what it was did not go well. He did not come across as sincere or professional. After 15 minutes, he offered to script pain meds for me at a dose that he fumbled around with and told the assistant to finish the script . . .right . . . . Did not fill, did not return. Again, would not let him touch my dog, maybe my wife's cat . . . read more

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Sept 2012 and what I thought was going to be the worse time of my life was made better by Dr. Griffin. From the first day I met him, I was treated with respect and compassion by him and his staff. Dr. Griffin worked closely with my surgeon to come up with the best course of treatment for me. Dr. Griffin took the time to explain, in terms I could understand, each and everything he did. I ended up having a mastectomy and what is called a DIEP flap for the reconstruction. While it is an extensive surgery, with Dr. Griffin's expertise in his field, I not only had an easy recovery but incredibly excited with the outcome. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Griffin! read more

Dr. Griffin is an excellent surgeon. I recommend him to everyone considering cosmetic surgery. I have had two procedures performed by him and won't ever go to anyone else. He has a terrific personality and I love his exceptional staff. read more

Please stay away from him; you will thank me. I wanted to update the record of Dr Griffin being a below standard HIGH RISK breast surgeon who caused 2 years of suffering and re-surgery because of his low standard of work he performed on me. I have had a Stanford Dr and a expert breast surgery medical records reviewer who both called out the deficiencies of his work on me. Dr. Griffin did such a BAD job on my breast surgeries that I am currently suing Griffin for Malpractice; I have never sued anyone before. It's cost me $2000 to initiate this, but others need to know. Don't be fooled by his 'happy" demeanor; He may be pleasant, but his techniques were poor on me. He is in it for the $$. I endured infection, so much pain, delays, 2 hour waits in his office, no follow-up. My other Dr. had to correct Griffin when he mixed up my meds, increasing the wrong one and decreasing incorrectly the dosage on the other. He sent me home from the hospital without talking to me personally that day. A pain RX was left for me written to a pharmacy that was closed for the evening. I was suffering terribly. We couldn't reach him to correct it. Earlier, the hospital nurses kept arguing that I had no business being sent home as I was in such bad shape. The Hosp admin came in and told me Griffin signed out me early that day, and now no one one could be reached. They wanted me to sign for a $5000. room charge authorization or leave. I left in tears and extreme pain. Things kept getting worse at home. Griffin called me in as an outpatient to remove the smelly, rotting flesh on the weeping open 4"wound on my breast. Following that outpatient procedure, he did not even show up to dismiss me, the nurse told me I could go home. I didn't hear from him for months. I made a decision to get a second opinion as a THIRD operation was still needed according to Griffin. Besides, my breasts didn't match-- ugly job. I went to Stanford. I was told Griffin had used outmoded techniques, surgery was poorly done and the flap was too large to have EVER worked. My breasts were not even on same baseline with one being an inch higher than the other. Totally different sizes. The Stanford doc shook his head and said, 'well, I've seen worse...but...this is bad.' Griffin tried to tell me it went bad cause I rolled on the breast while sleeping-- my fault. Stanford doc ensured me that was not true -- not my fault. So Griffin lied to me to cover his poor quality surgery. I then developed a protruding midsection. I had it diagnosed as a hernia. At Stanford, practically the entire operation had to be redone. In addition, the huge hernia which had developed in my abdomen; I was told it was a direct result of the earlier surgery. Another 32" hip-to-hip scar reopened and all that flesh lifted again. I suffered beyond belief for over 2 years. And, my breasts are full of scars that wouldn't be there if not for Griffin's substandard work. Thank God, Stanford physicians salvaged the surgery. BTW: my condition was entirely "in-situ" and the whole operation was possibly more than needed, I found that out after it all was over. Griffin's office staff was confused and unreliable; and I understand they were replaced ... Too late to help out with my debacle. Don't risk your body on him. He was also ambivalent about my pain levels -- he said that he's had patients in more pain than me... No empathy. Stay away. Not worth the risk. I think it is my duty to other women to relay this. I hope the Ca Medical Board takes note. Thank you for reading. read more

Dr. Griffin is a caring doctor with a high skill level. He has done procedures, the latest a face lift. He made me look better, and it is natural. He also will not do a procedure if he doesn't think it will work. His staff is so warm, and also know what they are doing. It is a pleasure to go there. read more
