Dr. Griggs and his team are excellent. I was very impressed and pleased with the friendliness and efficiency of all the staff. Each appointment I’ve had was incredibly timely, informative, and comforting.
Dr. Griggs took the time to answer all my questions, explain what to expect, and provided a “Plan B” for if the first option did not solve my problem. (Plan A worked out perfectly.)

I appreciated how considerate Dr Griggs and the OCC team were regarding my hand. They treated it on the spot, minimizing my downtime. After one day, my hand is as good as new.

Dr. Griggs and his team have exceeded my expectations, thoroughly explained my shoulder injuries to both in a manner that I can understand, and have given me options to get me back to normal. Presently, I am doing physical therapy and hopefully avoiding surgery. Thank you Dr. Griggs.

Everyone was very pleasant and professional. The experience was not that stuffy medical regiment where you check in and it's so serious. The lady at the front desk was very jovial for an early morning and I appreciated that.
Jayla was also great and so was the lady who took me to the room. Dr Griggs I felt very comfortable talking to him.
I would strongly recommend this office.

Very personal professional facility. Felt like all personal listened to my issues and injury concerns and treated them with the utmost care! Would highly recommend Dr Griggs to anyone in the future who has health issues regarding Orthopedics. Want to thank everyone working with Dr Griggs for such great care! They put me in a much better cast sling and the steroid shots at the present time seem to be taking effect hopefully that will take care of my tendon injury. Once again thank you everyone
