Dr. Griffin helped save my left elbow after I suffered a serious bicycle injury in May 1988. His care and skill were so exemplary that I have full use of my left arm today (that was in doubt at the time though Dr. Griffin did not divulge that). I remember him frequently and with gratitude.
I knew George through the Edinburgh Orthopedic Club. He was a very fine gentleman and excellent orthopedic surgeon. We will all miss him severely.
Dr. Griffen was my son's surgeon from his birth in 1985 until a few years before his death in 2004. He performed several surgeries on Evan's legs over the years. Thanks to his skill and effort my son was able to experience hiking, snow shoeing, skiing, and many other things in his short life. My family remembers Dr. Griffen with love and appreciation.
Genie: What a great guy. I've never had so many great conversations about so many things and places. I'm thankful that I had a chance to meet this man, this husband, father, grandfather, doctor and friend. I only wish I could have known him longer. Our prayers and love are with you and your family, Bob
My condolences to Dr. Griffin's family and friends. Very sad to see he has passed. When I was 15 ('73) I was in traction at Stanford hospital for 6 weeks after an auto accident. Dr. Griffin was my doctor. What a wonderful man. Very sweet, kind and funny. He always wore a bow-tie. Best doctor I've ever had. May he rest in peace.
