Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2022
After struggling for 22 years, Dr. Giffen ordered a simple blood test that has finally put me on the path to diagnoses. She is one of the few doctors to look outside of the box I don't fit in to help me solve this mystery. She listened, she cared, and she believed me. It's shocking to realize how many don't. She's one of the good ones. Highly recommend.
