I've been going to Dr Griffiths for 5 years. I've moved between SF, East Bay, multiple times but I will always make the drive into the city to see her. She is so caring and thorough. I really trust her. I'm going through a lot right now - emotionally and physically - and she listens and takes her time with me. Her warmth and expertise are unmatched. I really feel so lucky to have found a pcp like her. Thank you Dr Griffiths.
