About Me

Many people suffer with vascular disease or other vein issues that compromise their ability to function normally. Often, people don’t realize that they can and should do something about their vascular issue(s). They just live with it. I became a vascular specialist because I wanted to help my patients improve their overall health by first educating them on the importance of vascular health, and then treating their vascular disease problems so they can enjoy an improved quality of life.”

Everyone was professional. Nice.

03/19/2025

There was no point of my visit and it was a waste of time. They took my blood pressure and that was it.

03/12/2025

I brought in some test results for Dr. Griffin to see, and one of them, the nurse says, I don't need that. And basically, after I read it, it was in an envelope, so I hadn't read it, but once I read the results, it was definitely something that Dr. Griffin should have seen. So now I'm going to have to make sure next time I see him, I give him that test result so he can see, or the CT scan that he's going to run will show what that X-ray result showed. But I just think that the nurse shouldn't have easily just said, I don't need that, without reading it first. So, but that's it.

Dr. Griffin is great and I would love to keep seeing him. He is thorough and very compassionate. But I have Aetna insurance and was self pay for this visit. That's how much I like Dr. Griffin. But I can't afford to self pay for every visit and may need a referral if Aetna is not accepted for my next office visit. Please consider accepting Aetna again!!!
