Griffith Jones MPAS, PA-C, DMSc-S

Griffith’s promise to patients is to take the time to educate patients about their illness, help them understand what they can do to make it better, and why it’s important to make any changes he recommends. He is particularly interested in developing relationships with patients who may have ADHD/ADD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, panic attacks, social anxiety, post traumatic stress (PTSD), addiction, bipolar disorder, OCD, autism (ASD), or psychosis.

I am an inclusive provider, all LGBTQIA+, religions, races, and ethnicities are welcome.

Patient Care Philosophy

• Discover the cause of the illness instead of simply using medications to treat symptoms.
• Learn about each patient to better facilitate a holistic patient centered approach.
• Practice active and empathetic listening to achieve effective communication.
• Combine cutting-edge clinical practices and evidence-based, alternative medicine to create the best possible outcomes.
