Dr. Mariana Chavez performed an exceptional surgical procedure on my inguinal hernia. Her compassionate demeanor and patient-centric approach are highly commendable. Her positive disposition instills confidence and reassurance in her patients. We encourage you to direct any surgical inquiries to her.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Griscom and his staff having been amazing! I just had gastric bypass surgery back on the 12th. They got me in fast after I got everything done for insurance and insurance approval. He was great on explaining everything. And the surgery wasn't just to help fix my weight to help my liver disease and help reverse it, but also helped me with a hernia in my throat caused by horrible acid reflux. I am truly happy about the turn out of my surgery at his hands and how well he and his staff as taken care of me.
