David L Griffith, MD

Doctor Griffith is in a class by himself. He is a great Doctor. He cares about people and his patients. He is dedicated to his profession. He is very intelligent, respectful, and knowledgeable. He will take the time to diagnose your problem, and provide solutions to the problem. He is very reassuring, very positive, caring. Most Doctors are competent but lack the skills needed to reassure and support their patients.
My wife and I discussed leaving the area after retirement. We decided to stay because of Dr Griffith.
Without a doubt he is the reason why Almaden Family Physicians are successful. He is the best Doctor on the staff.
I have written the AMA about Dr Griffith and would love to see him recognized for his skills.

Dr. Griffith is awesome. He is professional, personable, knowledgable, and a really nice guy.
He treats you like a person, not a body part. He always answers your questions, gives practical advice and does not make you feel dumb. He will chat about family, jobs and life. I believe that is what helps him be a great physician. He listens to his patients.

Let me just say this, I have the up most respect for Dr. Griffith and I cannot imagine myself going to see anyone else but him. Before Dr. Griffith I use to jump around from doctor to doctor. I felt that I was being treated like a herd, money sign, anything but not human. Every time I would see a doctor, he/​she would not take the time to explain or see if I had any questions. They would diagnose me and then I’ll be off on my way with my doctors proscription. In other words, I felt like no one cared until I found Dr. Griffith. My 1^st time going to Dr. Griffith, he examine me and explained what I had, how I got it (possibilities), and how to avoid it. I was impressed and for the 1^st time a doctor has treated me like a person. I believe that was 5 years ago and ever since then I have been seeing him every time I needed to. I see my doctor often and only recall one’s he kept my appointment short because he did not have the time and I was squeezed in for the same day. Im sure you heard of the term «actions speak louder the words», well from the actions I have seen from Dr. Griffith, his not in it for the money but to help the ones in need. Even if I need to see a professional (example: skin doctor or ear throat & noise doctor) I would ask Dr. Griffith for his opinion. Not for insurance purposes, but for the fact that I would trust anyone my doctor recommends rather than me randomly choosing one. Dr. Griffith is a 5 star in my book and even though I just got married and moved farther (45min drive), I still drive to see him. May I remind you, this is not customer service department. Don’t expect to be treated like King when you walk in, you have to show respect in order to receive it. Treat people the way you like to be treated. With that in mind, I have no doubt in my mind that you would be very pleased with Dr. David Griffith.
