Matthew Griffin

Dr. Matthew James Griffin, MD

Hip & Knee Orthopedic Surgery

OVERVIEW

Matthew J. Griffin, M.D. is an orthopaedic surgeon with additional subspecialty training in surgery of the foot and ankle. He completed a prestigious fellowship in Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgery with internationally recognized field leader and innovator Michael J. Coughlin, M.D. at the Coughlin Clinic in Boise, Idaho. His Orthopaedic Surgery residency was completed at the University of Southern California/LAC+USC where he received an extensive orthopaedic trauma experience in one of the busiest Level 1 Trauma Centers in the country. This extensive 5-year training covered all aspects of orthopaedic surgery including pediatrics, trauma, spine, hand, foot and ankle, infection, tumor, total joint replacement and sports medicine. Originally from Orange County, Dr. Griffin attended the University of California, Irvine for undergraduate studies graduating in the top of his class (summa cum laude). He stayed at the University of California, Irvine for medical school graduating in the top of his class (alpha omega alpha). Dr. Griffin's foot and ankle practice focuses on all aspects of foot and ankle care including total ankle replacement, arthroscopy, sports related injuries, hallux valgus (bunions), hallux rigidus, rheumatoid arthritis foot pathology, lateral ligament reconstructions, plantar fasciitis/tarsal tunnel syndrome, hammertoes/mallet toes, plantar plate deficiency, trauma and complex hindfoot deformity reconstruction. He also responds to general orthopaedics emergency room calls at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital. Dr. Griffin is committed to continuing to provide the highest quality care for his patients. After a comprehensive evaluation, he provides individualized treatment, using leading-edge techniques when needed. It’s important to note that not all foot and ankle conditions need surgery. A careful risk and benefit approach is used which is unique to each patient and their associated condition. We are pleased to have Dr. Matthew Griffin join our team as we continue to provide the highest quality of orthopaedic care in Monterey County. In his free time, Dr. Griffin enjoys cycling, hiking, surfing, classic cars and spending time with his young family.

"If Dr. Griffin would keep his appointments with patients he would be a better Dr. First cancellation, OK. I went to checkin today for my rescheduled appointment when the woman helping me said she could not check me in because apparently Dr. Griffin was not in this afternoon! I did not receive a reminder call yesterday, so now I know why. Dr. Griffin is a no show for a second time. So I looked Dr. Griffin up. Well so he was schooled at Irvine and USC. I am a PhD schooled at UCSD, WashU Med School, Irvine and USC, now retired. I was funded by Anthony Fauci (NIAID) for 45yrs! I retired to Salinas, a wonderful place to live, except for the poor healthcare that too many have come to accept. The MDs need to release their strangle hold on us. Why does healthcare cost those in Monterey Co an average of 1400$/yr more than those in SF? We need more PPOs and HMOs so we can get quality healthcare at competitive pricing. It was cheaper for me to go to Stanford Med for spinal decompression and ...
later hip replacement than to have it done in Monterey Co. Also there is none of this weeks of waiting for an appointment and sudden cancellation. Now I understand why so many go to San Jose to the Stanford clinic for all their healthcare needs. No cancellations and great healthcare. "
