About Our Care for Griffin, GA
Griffin patients have limited local neurosurgical options, and many tell us the choice came down to driving 20 minutes north to Hampton or 60 minutes north to downtown Atlanta. Our practice has built strong referral relationships with Wellstar Spalding Regional Hospital and primary-care providers along Highway 19/41 and in the historic downtown Griffin area. We see Spalding County volume across the full spectrum: cervical and lumbar disc disease, brain tumor follow-up, peripheral nerve compression (carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel), and trigeminal neuralgia. Griffin patients are particularly well-served by our MRI review pathway — many already have imaging from Wellstar Spalding and simply need a surgical opinion before deciding next steps. Telemedicine availability means follow-up visits do not require the drive.
