Dr. Griffiths is the best doctor I’ve ever had. Not just the best OBGYN – the best doctor, period. She is truly an angel. She has delivered both my babies by c section. My c section scar looks amazing – and while she wasn’t able to give me liposuction while she was at it – she’s a really great surgeon. She saved my son’s life and she supported me in all my decisions with my most recent pregnancy with my daughter. If you are looking for a doctor who will give you the facts – based on science – listen to you, support you, and most of all treat you with love and respect, go to Dr. Griffiths. She’s not a therapist – but she probably could add that to the list of services she provides. Thank you forever Dr. Griffiths. It is so clear you have a true gift to support women’s health, and I’m grateful to have been cared by you through so much!
