I have been going to Arthritis and sports on and off for many years and even some of my fellow coworkers even go to their offices. You can’t ask for better doctors. They are patient they listen to you. All of the people in the office are very nice. It’s almost like family.

After reviewing the results of my MRI results, Dr. Griffith recommended a rotator cuff surgery which was done successfully. I’m in recovery now which takes about 6 months. I’m receiving physical therapy (PT) twice a week as well. They have the best PT team at Arthritis & Sports. I recommend Dr. Griffith to anyone with rotator cuff surgery. Thank you all!

Dr. Griffith and his team are fantastic. I've been receiving treatment for my knees and shoulder for over 8yrs and most recently, surgeries on both knees. Care is phenomenal and they have my complete trust.
