My follow-up post-cararact visit went smoothly, in a timely fashion and all of the staff and doctors I interacted with were very pleasant and professional. I would recommend Griffin Eye Clinic to anyone needing professional eye care. care

Staff was excellent. Waiting time was minimal.

If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to try to answer them.

Dr Griffin the best eye doctor I have ever been to.What and Organization he has assembled. Deserves 10 Stars... .

Each staff member was very kind, answered my questions, and were thorough in their 1-day post-op (cataract removal) eye exams. Everyone was very knowledgeable, informative, answered my questions, and were thorough in all respects. I am totally pleased with my entire experience. My surgery went smoothly and I had no discomfort whatsoever. I have been very impressed with Griffin Eye Center since my first visit and all subsequent appointments, as well as the surgery, and I would very highly recommend Dr. Neil Griffin.

I’m petrified of anyone touching my eyes- bad experience as a child. Everyone at Dr. Griffin’s office was so knowledgeable, so kind and very caring. They explained things to me so I could understand them! I knew I was in good hands! Dr, Griffin is amazing!!! He is very laid back and made me feel very comfortable! I went to him for a second opinion and just knew he was the doctor I wanted to do my surgery. I highly recommend him and his team!!!

We didn't wait long to be seen. Tech Melissa was excellent; personable, knowledgeable, and thorough. The doctor was quick and thorough.

Giving back the gift of vision through your professional and caring staff and your vision to provide care as perfect as possible God bless

Staff is great, very professional and thorough. Dr. Griffin is the greatest, will recommend him to all I know.

Very friendly staff. Very knowledgeable. Willing to give in-depth answers to any and all questions. Can’t wait to have the second cataract removed. 😁👍

Going to have anything done invasive with your eyes is scary but everyone was very pleasant and made you feel at ease. I am very pleased with Griffin Eye Center

The staff at your facility are very professional and enthusiastic. The appointment was punctual and the information was extremely helpful. I was very impressed and am grateful for your services. Dale Smith

I felt like I was well taken care of . I had an informative conversation with Bryce and Dr. McCann. I received all the information I need to follow up on my eye care here at home.Thanks and see you soon.

Cataract surgery was a huge success and met my full expectations. My goal of not having to wear glasses was fully achieved. Panoptix multivocal lenses are great. Could not have been happier or more satisfied with the experience I had with all each and every meber of the office staff. In my opinion Dr Griffin is a leading edge professional. Everything was excellent. The only negative I can think of is I wish someone would have mentioned to me about the medications(drops) discount available at a particular local pharmacy before my prescription was filled at CVS.

It would have been better if I had seen Dr G., who did my surgery for the post-op visit. I did NOT get a “warm & fuzzy “ from him at any point of his care. Bryce, on the other hand, is a great technician & his attention to detail admirable, as well his friendliness. Business office, was certainly on top of my payments, their business made more than obvious.

Was called in on time. Staff was very nice. Just wish I still could get my eye exams there

Ben did a great job. Very efficient and thorough.

Your staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Wait time is minimal. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Dr. Griffin and Dr. McCann are excellent. Today my tech, Ben, was patient with all my questions and pleasant.

Very prompt and friendly.

I was pretty stressed about the procedure. I appreciated the fact that enough twilight was administered and hopefully the same will be true for the second eye. All the staff were terrific!

Dr. Griffin and his staff were outstanding in every aspect of my visit to the Griffin Eye Center in Myrtle Beach. From the sign in desk to the check out desk everyone was courteous, professional and answered each and every question I had. It gives me great confidence that if I'm in need of a Ophthalmologist that Griffin Eye Center is just a short drive for such a great service.

Friendly, cordial & professional and caring

I’m so grateful and I’m so excited. I can never put into words how grateful I am. I thanked Dr.Griffin personally but I wish there was more I could do . Dr. Griffen gave me my life back! You are Wonderful! Your Team is wonderful . Everyone was so kind and I will never forget you and what you did for me. Thank you!

Everyone is considerate and nice. A very efficient staff.

Eye swelling behind my retinas. Out of Prolenza!! Need it every morning! Left message!

The personal effort. The staff was wonderful

Outstanding work and service! Thanks very much! John Williams

I was very happy that I was called from the waiting area within a minute of signing in, and that I was professionally and in a friendly manner, attended to by staff and Dr. Griffin himself.

The Griffin Eye Center is run by Dr. Griffin like a well oiled machine. No wait appointments, seen quickly (and pleasantly) by an excellent staff and then by Dr. Griffin, who is an amazing and talented surgeon. He removed a cataract from my right eye two days ago and I couldn't thank him enough. The best gift I have ever been given in my life. The next one is in two weeks and I can't wait. To have such an excellent, gifted and accomplished physician right here in Myrtle Beach is a reason to retire here. I will be forever grateful to him and to the wonderful people he employs. Thank you all! Lorraine Holst

Everyone treated me like I was the only patient, very good experience! Thank you Patricia Miller

I was very impressed with the whole experience..Dr Griffin and all members of his staff were friendly, compassionate and explained everything along the way! They seem to have worked hard to have an efficient, well thought out way to handle everything in a caring professional manner.

From the moment I arrived I felt welcomed. I have such a fear of being in a doctor's office. I knew I was going to be just fine by the compassion of the receptionist. It didn't stop there. From beginning to end! The experience was exceptional! Thank you Team Griffin!

You did EVERYTHING well! All of the staff is very knowledgeable, professional, engaging, warm, approachable and eager to answer questions. What more could I ask for?!

Dr Griffin and his staff are a wonderful team and far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them for any of your vision needs. My vision now is much better than I had ever hoped

I cannot speak highly enough about Elsie and Andrew. Elsie helped me through the beginning process and was wonderful. Andrew helped me through the surgery end and was so helpful and informative. Both should be recognized for their professionalism and efforts. Job well done!

Everything went smoothly. Comfortable facilities send very knowledgeable staff. Hoghly recommend.

As always from the time you reach the front desk until you are taken back to the check out when complete they are great!!!!!!'

Visiting from NY on a vacation, I had no idea where to go when my son injured his eye. I chose this office based on their excellent reviews. Dr. Thomas and the entire staff who helped us took such good care of my son. I can’t thank them enough for kindness and care.

All were very friendly , concerned , helpful ,and , relieved my mind. Left feeling less stressed. Thanks.

What a wonderful experience. Dr. Thomas is the best optometrist I've ever experienced. He took care of my eye issues & took the time to answer all my questions. The staff was also both competent & eagerly explained anything I needed clarification on. Thank you!

Cataract surgery on both eyes was a breeze. My vision is great...colors are amazing. I live in Murrells trellis Inlet and love that Griffin has an office here. And I really like Dr. Thomas and his staff. Personable and efficient and skilled.

Everyone is professional, but friendly. Makes one feel at ease sorta like being with family.

Really outstanding. Every body is so friendly, courteous, and efficient. I felt I was in really good hands with Dr. Thomas. He listens and answers questions thoroughly, without any sense of rush. Thank you, Nancy, Michon, Doc, and all.

Very very professional and thorough. Very nice experience Pleasant and friendly staff

The wait time has improved significantly since I was a patient of Dr. Whitaker. Still not perfect, but much better. All staff were professional. The tech who tested me could convey a bit more warmth, but was knowledgeable and efficient See you next year!!

All the staff are friendly and professional. I felt confident regarding the quality of care I received. I am very particular when it comes to the care of my eyes and vision. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr Thomas went out of his way to fix my glasses that my doggie was munching on. Put me on vitamins n medication to help heal scars on my Corneas, no other Doctor has every even suggested it. Also sending me for a second opinion on upcoming surgery .. Great experience , staff n care! Already recommended my mother in law .. Ha , n l dont even like her .

Today’s visit with Dr. Thomas was like a breathe of fresh air, it truly made my day. He is what you hope to find in your doctor, which seems rare these days... knowledgeable, caring, and THOROUGH!!! The staff equally gets 5 stars.

Thank you for being so helpful when we discovered that Griffin Eye Center is not a provider in my current insurance plan. I appreciate the explanation of what the charges would be and the self pay discount. Everyone was very friendly and caring.

Nancy in the office was very helpful & a true professional. She answered my questions speaking clearly and in English!!! She understood my questions and answered clearly. Finding a new eye doctor when you're new to the area is a giant undertaking. I found Dr. Thomas & staff very helpful and I plan to return for another appointment as recommended in 6 months. The first person you see is Nancy and she set the tone for a successful connection to Griffin Eye Center. Thank You.

I saw Dr. Thomas who was outstanding. He treated my eye infection with care and compassion. His staff was very professional and I was seen promptly at my appt time. Highly recommend this doctor and his competent team!!

Everything was excellent! The assistant gave me a very thorough eye exam. Dr. Thomas was the best eye doctor I have ever been to. He explained my cornea condition so very well. Now I understand what the condition is and how it can be treated. He was wonderful!

I went to the Murrells Inlet office (I had always gone to the 82nd Ave office, until I moved to MI) and their entire team was fantastic. Jennifer at the front desk, Adam who did the preliminary testing, Dr. Thompson, who broke the news about cataract surgery with grace and Lisa, his assistant who laughed at my jokes and liked my perfume. What a great experience. Also, the wait time was minimal. PS I am not a paid reviewer :) :) lol

Dr Thomas, Lisa Adam front end staff are all very professional and caring and have answered all my concerns.

If there were 10 stars to give I would gladly give them. After a year of numerous appointments for eye pain, discomfort and extreme light sensitivity, it took Dr. Thomas one visit to accurately diagnose the issue and start treatment to resolve my condition. He and his staff are friendly, wonderful professionals and I am looking forward to my next appointment and getting back to normal again! I was amazed with his wealth of knowledge and would highly recommend he and his staff.

I'm a new patient at Griffin Eye Center's Murrells Inlet office. I've been seeing Dr. Tipton for about 10 years and have been very satisfied with his care. However, we just moved to Surfside Beach and I didn't want to travel up to 82nd Avenue for eye checkups. I saw Dr. Thomas at the Murrells Inlet office. I liked him a lot. I also liked the technician (not sure if that's the correct title) who checked me out prior to Dr. Thomas checking me. All office personnel I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. I had a very positive experience there.

All the staff excellent and very pleasant. Doctor Thomas very thorough and kind.

friendly staff n helpful. will recommend. Joe

Staff and doctor very professional and courteous. Everyone took their time and I did not feel hurried.

Very well run office. Friendly competent staff. Doctor Thomas is very thorough and personable.

The doctors and staff at the South Park Centre are warm, friendly and as accommodating as any office staff can be. All of them welcome you with smiles and warm greetings, which automatically eases any angst you may have from not knowing exactly what to expect. Likewise, the staff at Waccamaw Surgery Center are friendly and professional, making your appointment as short ,but efficient, as possible.

Everyone was very nic and informative. Only thing is it was freezing in the office no matter which room we used.

Everyone was very helpful, friendly and professional

I loved the office and the staff. Wish I had known i was going to have to pay for an eye exam. I just had one which was the reason I had come to the office...

I always have a wonderful experience at the Griffin Eye CARE Center! You notice I added the word "care". That is because not only do I receive xcellent Care, BUT, I am treated like Family. The Staff's Professionalism is second to none, you can't beat it....from the moment of your arrival you are greeted w/ smiling faces, and hello's. A bright open clean waiting area awaits. The staff prepares you for your Dr's visit, w/ a through q/a of your daily routine of eye care and an exam. Yes, this is w/ one w/ get at any Eye clinic, however it's the way they do it, so easy, very conversational and so genuine. They are just Magdelicious!!! I am confident I am "seeing" the best Dr's there. Mrs. J. Gottshall

Dr.Thomas is the best along with his assistant. Everyone I have met in the facility treats you respectfully. Great effort by everyone there.

Love Doctor Thomas , as well as his staff , They all are very knowledgeable, very professional and kind and caring. .

Dr. Thomas and staff are very thorough in their examinations. We are both very pleased that we came to Griffin Eye Center and will recommend them to our friends.

All and all, I was happy with the experience and feel comfortable enough that if/when my eyes do need laser surgery, that I would trust it to be done at your office.

It was very pleasant visiting Griffin Eye Center for the first time. Your entire staff seemed very kind and friendly. Dr. Thomas' manner was very direct, yet personable and assuring and left me feeling extremely confident in my having chosen Griffin Eye center for my vision needs.

Everyone was so nice and very helpful! I hate going to any doctor but this was easy!

GREAT JOB. i was impressed with the service I received.

Efficient, friendly staff. Dr. Tipton’s review and time for questions.

I am handicapped, and you have no handicapped accessible bathroom. I cannot be the only patient you have who has mobility issues. You need to remedy this!

Great :)

Very friendly and professional employees. I have confidence that Dr. Thomas will give me the best treatment. Thanks to Adam, Ben and Tena.

Everything was fine. Staff and Doctors excellent. On time !!!!

my husband the patient absolutely loves the staff and how personable tDr Thomas is . He makes you feel comfortable and in good safe hands. We just moved here and had no idea where to go or who to trust, But that's no longer an issue for us. Thank you , Jim and Pam Clark

I was very impressed with the staff and extremely with the eye Dr. that I saw. will definitely come back for my next check up.

I was very pleased with my eye appointment last week. Kudos to Dr. Thomas and the entire staff for a very professional operation!

Over the years I have visited many Doctors offices of all types. By far what I appreciated most was the friendly staff. My wait was short and on time. That in itself is unusual. Dr Thomas and his associate were very friendly and thorough. I trust that my experience with Dr. Griffin will be the same

Very efficient, personnel were very professional. Very happy with the service.

My experience was very friendly and professional. The office personnel was very curtious, profecient, and experienced. I would recommend them to everyone! Thank you.

As a first time patient the entire experience went very well. We were both impressed with the staff and Dr. Thomas.

We were very pleased with all aspects of our visit. This was our first appt and everyone was very efficient and friendly. Will highly recommend to others. Thank you

I appreciate you fitting me in to look at what I thought was a problem. Turned out to be nothing serious. Thank you for doing that. Gary

I was worked into a busy schedule and cared for as if I were a regular patient of the clinic. I happened to be on vacation from Texas. This took place on a Friday and when I left I had personal contact information if I needed them for the rest of my stay.

Very professional and thorough checkup; all the nurses/techs were great!

Excellent service and help

I was having a problem and the staff made time for me to be seen. Dr Thomas and the staff were great!

I had a great experience.

From the time we walked in the door, everyone was so helpful and friendly. Dr Tipton was Great and Very Knowledgeable.

No complaints

Great. Everyone treats me like I am special!

I didn't have a long wait (which is much appreciated) and the doctor was wonderfuland pursued my treatment from the last visit.

Everyone very friendly and efficient.

The receptionists, assistants, Dr Thomas and Dr Griffin were personable and professional. Every aspect of the surgery I was preparing for was explained, every question answered. Everyone I interacted with at the Eye Center and the Surgical Center was more than helpful making the entire experience pleasant.

I received the most thorough examination I have ever had and everyone was so helpful. I would recommend them to everyone.

My thanks to Griffin Eye Center for the first rate treatment I recently received. The professionalism exhibited by the staff was impressive! It was a wonderful experience that left me very thankful! My new and improved eyesight makes me feel like a whole new person. I highly recommend Dr. Griffin and his staff to anyone interested in various eye surgeries and treatments.

Dr Thomas was thorough in his review of my case.

Very comfortable they're also very professional

Everyone I dealt with were very professional and informative.

Amazing staff!!!

I am a big fan of receiving the paperwork in the mail. Not only is it more convenient...the Hx will be more accurate because i have alot of the information at my fingertips. I heard a lady in your office yesterday...."I don't remember all this! Plus it can shorten time spent to be seen. Win Win.

Everything

Very friendly and helpful. Treatment plan was explained very well

It was okay. I guess I expected to see more of the doctor. But he said what was to be done. Not much of a talker, but seems efficient. That’s all that matters.

It was a great visit and everyone was so nice and pleasant. Would highly recommend you to anyone who needs your services.

You are great

All was done well

Great experience

Very friendly staff. Made a special trip on a Saturday morning to examine an issue with my eye.

Very prompt and professional services

Very personable, also helpful and answered all my questions. I would recommend Griffin Eye Center to my family and friends.

Overall experience was excellent, from the initial visit to the surgery and the next day follow up. Looking forward to the second surgery.

Everyone I came in contact with today in your office was friendly, treated me with respect, and acted in a professional manner. People I have recommended you to have become your patients.

Very friendly and staff makes you feel comfortable . Dr Griffin is very good.

Very professional. Very organized. Accomadating. I am happy I went here

A good experience. Everyone was very professional.

Promptly taken to room and provided with courteous care. Both the tech and the doctor answered all my questions and made me feel as if I were their only concern at that moment.

Thanks for asking! Staff are great; no recomendations.

My experience has always been great with dr Tipton, I met dr Thomas for the first time and he was very thorough and friendly. I would recommend this eye center to my family and friends.

Punctual friendly precise as always

Dr. Thomas' assistant Lisa spent a great deal of time with me explaining all of the procedures and all of my options. Dr. Thomas is thorough and also spends time explaining

Very friendly On time Explaination of what was wrong was very well explained

All very courteous and helpful!! Feel the exam was thorough and professional! Will recommend to family and friends. Thanks!!

Dr Thomas is thorough and gracious.

Everything!
