Everyone from the front desk, the dental hygienist to Dr. Lindsay were amazing. I wish we had found them when we moved to Abbeville. six years ago. I am great full to have a dentist I can trust now.

Dr. Griffin is the best! He and his team work together to ensure each patient is special and that we can depend on top notch care. He has all up to date technology. For example, when do you see a BP machine in a dentist office? He is ACLS certified and educated at a very prestigious school. Thank you Dr. Griffin and your team!

I am very impressed with Dr. Griffin and his team. For starters, I had to cancel my scheduled appointment, but his team were more than accommodating by working me in the next day. His team is very professional and helpful. They explain every step of the initial check-in process, and provide guidance every step of the way. Dr. Griffin is very personable and knowledgeable, and seemed happy to answer any question I had. Definitely glad I found this practice!

I would not recommend this dental office.. I showed up to my appointment but decided to leave due to unprofessional behavior. If I was the owner of this establishment I would fire some of my staff specially the receptionist
