Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Two massive rotator tears and back to competitive
Had a three tendon massive tear from mountain bike accident. Dr Grittith did an incredible repair procedure and I had full range of motion. During rehab, had another freak accident with another massive tear. Most would have done a joint replacement but I'm a competitive rower and coach and the replacement would have ended my competitive career. I'm now back on the water and plan to race in the Spring. I have no doubt that my amazing outcome is primarily due to the skill and technique of Dr Griffith. If you can get in to see him, he's the best of the best. BTW, I chose him over the Emory surgeons and so glad that I did.

Shoulder surgery
This past winter I had an accident while on a ski trip that dislocated my shoulder and broke a few bones as well. It appeared to be a complicated procedure and I chose Dr Griffith based on his past experience with traumatic shoulder injuries. Dr Griffith and his team were outstanding from start to finish, and I’ve regained the use of my shoulder again and am back on the road to strengthening it and doing the things I love. Highly recommend Dr Griffith for any shoulder issue.

From my first visit several years ago, Dr. Griffith made me feel very comfortable and that he was genuinely concerned about my well-being. He is extremely professional, smart and personable. I highly recommend Dr. Griffith and his staff at Peachtree Orthopaedics in Duluth. Thanks for the excellent care!

I had the best experience one could ask for. Dr Griffith repaired a completely torn tricep tendon, he explained what needed to be done and the outcome I could look forward to after surgery. I am pain free and have healed up strong, I’m so thankful for what he did and for his awesome staff. I highly recommend Dr Griffith.

Dr. Griffith performed my second shoulder repair on the same shoulder after an injury ruined the first surgery. He did an awesome job. It’s even better now than it has been in years.

Dr. Griffiths is a top notch Orthopedic physician with one of the best bedside manners I have encountered. He listens and treats you as a person vs. just a number, as some others do. He is very knowledgeable, gentle with injections, and takes the fear out of going to an orthopedic. I highly recommend him!

Dr Griffith at the top of my list for ortho knee providers. He diagnosed and treated my daughter efficiently and she back to baseline, returning to her sport at the college level. His staff and PA Jessie all responsive to our needs. I understood all treatment options and all were easily accessible. Very personable physician and staff. Highly recommend this provider. I am so grateful for all he has done.
