I recently had a RTC repair from Dr. Griffith. While I am only 10 days post op, thus far it has been a very positive experience! Dr Griffith is a highly qualified surgeon who also has a wonderful rapport with patients. He spends quality time with you, was great talking about, explaining the procedure and going over results, diagnostic tests with you. When I had to choose a surgeon, it was with great thought, time spent researching physicians, reading reviews! Dr. Griffith was my only choice!
