One of the joys of working with Dr. Griffin is his availability. I so appreciate being seen the same day or the next morning when I call. He listens and then you can tell his brain just starts running through all possibilities and ways to diagnose and treat the situation. We live a bit remotely and he even took a call on Sunday afternoon, which saved me a trip to urgent care.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
Since I have been practicing medicine privately in Deer Park for the last 15 years, I have seen our medical system move further and further away from a preventive medicine focus.
I passionately believe that prevention is the key to a long and healthy life, which is why I felt it was important to evolve my practice into one that is truly focused on prevention. By affiliating with MDVIP, I am now able to provide not only the care that I was trained to provide, but provide the care that I know will help my patients stay healthy longer so they can get the most out of life.
To put the value and importance of prevention into perspective, think about this: No one thinks twice about routine preventive maintenance on your car, house or plane – but the human body and mind need similar attention too. Preventive medicine focuses on keeping the human body healthy, not waiting for things to break and then trying to salvage what’s left. Unlike your car or house, we cannot always repair or replace what is damaged in the body and that deficit can stay with you forever. Heart disease, strokes, diabetes, hypertension and heart failure don’t just kill people, but more importantly ruin people’s quality of life. Through my MDVIP-affiliated practice and the Annual Wellness Exam I provide to each patient, I will be able to help patients identify their risk for these life changing diseases so that we can prevent them from starting in the first place.
Preventive medicine is important. It improves patients’ lives and helps them live longer.
I welcome anyone that agrees with me to join my MDVIP-affiliated practice so together we can prevent disease from controlling your life. Of course, I will still tend to acute issues, but now I will also be able to focus on prevention, while still providing you the level of care you deserve, in an unrushed, individualized, patient-centric environment.

We have moved out of his area but choose to remain his patients and choose to fly in for our annual visits.
We respect his vast expertise and plethora of knowledge.

Before finding Dr. Griffin, I felt like I was just part of a cattle call when I went to the MD. No one knew me, remembered anything about me and wasn't focused on me.
