See What We’re Up To…

  • "Dr. Griggs is an awesome doctor! He is professional, kind, knowledgeable and caring. After breaking my elbow in a mountain biking accident he has helped give me the ability and confidence needed to return to my profession as a licensed massage therapist. I feel very fortunate to have had him work on me. Thanks Doc G."

    Cathy Amenta

  • "My shoulder is better than before I hurt it. Thanks guys!"

    Edward Cleary

  • "What a fantastic group of folks who really practice what they preach. I have not had the need for medical attention but when it happens it would seem silly to look elsewhere. They keep me inspired to continue to gO further on the bike then I thought I ever could."

    John Kowalsky

  • "Dr. Griggs and his team rock this valley. They support anything and everything, are sweet people, and love to gO play!"

    Molly Dillon

  • "Thanks to everyone and we won’t name everyone in case we leave someone out in all of your important parts of getting Tom’s leg put back together again! It looks good, but he is anxious to do more! Thanks!"

    Tom & Phyllis Popp

  • "I love gO Orthopedics. Dr. Griggs really listens and cares about his patients. He has fixed both my thumbs and my right hand and they are great now. I have heard good things about Dr. Clifton."
