Patient Testimonial
Dr. Harris is incredible – after 1.5 years of TTC, my husband and I decided to explore fertility treatments. From the moment we met Dr. Harris, we knew we were in good hands. We felt heard, respected, and judgment-free.

I was so lucky to have Dr. Harris as my doctor and would recommend him to anyone looking for help with pregnancy. He felt like a friend. Always there when you needed him, honest, calm, and encouraging.

Dr. Harris is an excellent fertility specialist—professional, knowledgeable, and caring. He made me feel supported and confident throughout the process.

From the very first appointment Dr Griffith was compassionate, patient, and always took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that made us feel informed and supported. IVF can be overwhelming, but he never rushed our questions and made sure we truly understood our options.

Dr. Griffith was very attentive to our concerns and thorough when explaining our plan of care! Thank you.

Dr. Griffith is an honest, compassionate physician who truly puts his patients first. He is a true role model for what healthcare providers should strive to be.

Q&A

Reproductive medicine has always been a true passion for me on a professional and personal level. As a former fertility/IVF patient, I share the struggles that our patients face and feel so privileged to have the opportunity to help guide and educate them through their fertility process. 

Family time with my daughter and husband will always be my favorite thing. I also love to bake.  

I am a true “Professional Student.” I have been “in school” or specific programs of study for 32 years of my life. There will ALWAYS be so much more to learn!
