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.

Great demeanor and assistance.

Surprised so many like Dr. Griffin's work. After a series of tests, he offered no conclusions/no diagnosis and no effort to go to any next steps. He basically threw up his hands. He did no follow up with me, and I sought help elsewhere. Yes, he has a great bedside manner, but doesn't go the extra mile.

Dr. Griffin is very intelligent and soft spoken. I waited 5 months to get in to see him the first time. I was scared to death cause I had no idea what was wrong with me.... no other dr knew what was wrong... took Dr. Griffin about 5 minutes to tell me what was wrong. I have tardive dyskinesia and he gave me meds for Parkinson's. I tried to get him to prescribe Ingrezza but he wouldn't help me fight to get it... but a psych dr gave it to me and my symptoms are now gone since I started the Ingrezza. I wish dr. Griffin would have given it to me a year and a half before. It would have saved me a lot of suffering.

As a father of a daughter with a neurological disorder I've observed my share of neurologists. I'm spoiled since most have been at Stanford University and are likely in the top neurologists in the country - truly wonderful people. But as a man in my 60's I've also seen my share of doctors and my appointment with Dr Griffin was one of the worst I can recall. After being ONE FULL HOUR LATE for the appointment he breezes into the room with no apology and casually asks what brings me in today. This tells me that 1. he views the patient's time as worthless and 2. he hasn't even prepared to see the patient. I asked if he just wanted to hear it in my words or does he really not know why I am there? He ventured a guess: "a stroke?" WOW. I had been in the ER and had MRI's and CAT scans and a stroke (or bleeding or brain tumor) was ruled out. This appointment was for a more thorough evaluation. He hadn't even looked at my imaging or chart. He also never asked if I had any questions.

Dr Griffin is highly intelligent, soft spoken, and does not seem to have a "God" complex. He thinks outside the box with treatment options and works with patients to figure out what will work for them. He cares and listens to your current issues and past history. He performs Botox for migraine, which can be difficult to find a provider trained in the procedure.

Dr. Griffin is absolutely fabulous. He really seems to stay up to date on MS. He has a manner of a professional but the heart of an angel. I do believe he might be the best MS Doctor I have had the privilege to work with in the N.W...!!!

I've been seeing Dr. Craigan T. Griffin, MD now for roughly two years for Multiple Sclerosis and Peripheral Neuropathy. The treatment I've received from Dr. Girrifin, BMC and Pacific Crest Neurology has been some of the best medical treatment I've ever received in my life. They've always been prompt, courteous, professional, caring and ontop of my medical needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Griffin and his team to anyone with neurological needs.
