He did a CT scan of my sinuses and we found my right shenoid sinus to be infected. Grateful to have had it discovered because if left untreated can have some devastating consequences. I've been going to many doctors for similar symptoms, so far this one is the only Dr who found something wrong with me.

My experience with Dr Griffiths and the audiolgist I saw was terrific. What was frustrating though was that I tried to complete all my paperwork online before coming in for my appt and the online system kept returning error messages that my birthdate was not entered in an appropriate format— but I tried entering 12/18/66 and then 12/18/1966 and 12-18-66 and 12-18-1966 but none were accepted. As a result, I had to complete the same form in hard copy when I was in the office.

Dr. Griffiths is excellent, thorough and a wonderful diagnostician. He's very down to earth, is very knowledgeable and answers questions. He has been at the cutting edge of many developments in his field. I highly recommend him.
July 13, 2015Myra S.Verified patient
I thought Dr. Chester was fabulous! Loved his bedside manner. I did not like the 45-50 mins wait time. My time is just as valuable as anyone else. Maybe, just a suggestion, they can call and let people know how long the wait will be - so we don't have to sit there - while work is plying up. I know there are emergencies, but that's the suggestion - calling your patience and letting them know how long the wait will be. I'm only across the street and can be there within 5-10 mins tops. Otherwise LOVED IT! :)
July 16, 2015Debbie C.Verified patient
Dr. Griffiths is excellent, I highly recommend him. Sometimes the office can run a little late but definitely worth the wait. It is difficult to anticipate appointment lengths of time, occasionally procedures take longer. Dr. Griffith is an ultimate professional and will take the time necessary to accomplish the best possible result.
July 15, 2015Teri G.Verified patient

May 26, 2015Blanca M.Verified patient
Clearly a great doctor. Knowledgable, Really listens. It was my first visit but I would go back for sure! The waiting is a problem because they were kind enough to fit me in at the last minute, and I got the impression that the doc tends to run late. But .... He is worth waiting for!
June 16, 2015Lorna L.Verified patient
Very informative.
I have complete confidence that I will be receiving the best care available.
He made me feel comfortable with the procedure I will be receiving
I look forward to a positive outcome and return to normalcy.
June 30, 2015Craig B.Verified patient
Dr. Griffiths is a gifted diagnostician who also has the gift of a wonderful bedside manner. He spends plenty of time to answer questions and concerns and explain his choices for treatment. I have a very rare autoimmune disease and no only is he knowledgeable about it (and found a treatment that started me on the right course towards healing), he is also able to provide excellent referrals for further care. Additionally the office staff and nurses are kind and great as well. I can't recommend him highly enough!
April 24, 2015Susanna M.Verified patient
Outstanding professional. Thorough examination and explanation of condition and treatment. Would highly recommend Dr. Griffiths who need an expert ENT specialist.
March 26, 2015Alma E.Verified patient

staff was also very nice.

I do not do Facebok, but he deserves a big, "Like!"
I am well over 50, lived throughout the United States and abroad, and I have to say, he is by far on of the best doctors I have ever had. Highly educated, humble thorough, and just a great guy.
His office staff at every station displayed the same friendliness, concern, and thoroughness.
April 17, 2015Jeff N.Verified patient
Dr. Griffiths explained allergic reactions, antihistamine interaction, and cell replacement in a way that will allow me to more effectively manage my allergies for the rest of my life.
March 18, 2015David H.Verified patient
Dr. Griffiths is an outstanding doctor with great experience and insight into EN & T health issues. I have seen him about 4 times as we progressed through diagnosis, surgery and after care. He is a skillful surgeon and instilled confidence in me concerning a complex medical situation. He is compassionate, energetic and responsive.
April 18, 2015Thomas B.Verified patient
Dr. Griffiths is charming and thorough. He always provides a clear explanation about my physical condition and answers any/all questions that I may have. His staff members made me aware that he would be running late and continued to check on me. In the future, I will call his office prior to leaving my home to check on his "running time" and arrive appropriately. I live about 10 minutes from his office.
April 15, 2015Elaine A.Verified patient
Very knowledgeable and thorough.
April 3, 2015Robert B.Verified patient
Apart from the long wait time, everything went smoothly. The staff was courteous and friendly,and efficient. Dr Griffiths diagnosed my condition, and suggested appropriate medicines to take, and to see him again in a month's time. He is comfortable to be around, and I am confident that his diagnosis will turn out to be correct.
March 30, 2015Perry G.Verified patient
Chester Griffiths is obviously a consummate professional who genuinely cares about his patients. He has a relaxed and confident bedside manner and is forth right in delivering the facts of the matter at hand. I am fortunate go have been referred to Dr. Griffiths and will refer him to others.
