I wish I could give zero stars. This place would never send me reminders for my appointment so I always forgot when it was and never had a way to my appointment on time AND I LIVE AN HOUR AWAY so you'd think they'd call me or text me to remind me about my appointment. NOPE !!!!! They could never give me an explanation as to why I didn't get reminders and never tried to fix it either. Absolutely awful place to do business with and I'm honestly quite scared to know that they were going to be surgically removing teeth from my mouth , but yeah I shut that down real quick cause they aren't the only place that does those types of things. If you can , go somewhere else to get the work you need done.

I have been to Dr. Griffin several times in the past year, one of them was an emergency situation following an accident. Dr. Griffin and the entire team have been nothing but amazing. As a business owner myself, I know how hard it is to build a team with multiple people and personalities working together, but they seem to have nailed it. Every person that I have interacted with from the receptionist, techs, nurses and billing have been great. Thank you Griffin team for making a not always fun experience much easier. You are the best!

Absolutely awful. The staff was lazy. Young kids in there acting like the patients were a disturbance of their time. The doctor acted like he was on his high horse and his crap didnt stink. DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PLACE TO ANY ONE AT ALL. Dont even waste your time. What a joke. Wish I could put 0 stars.

I wish every Doctor’s office was this warm and inviting! Every team member I encountered today was courteous, accommodating, , and genuinely welcoming. Very thankful for an extremely considerate Doctor who was more than willing to fit me into his busy schedule. ! Dr. Griffin and Dr. Joseph both have impeccable bedside manner! Both Doctor’s genuinely made me feel like I was the only patient on their schedule! The world could stand to learn a thing or two from these amazing folks! Thank you again for working so expeditiously!

About Griffin Center for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Griffin Center for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is an oral surgery practice located at 300 Hospital Drive in Columbus, Mississippi. The practice performs a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including a full range of dental implant and bone grafting procedures, wisdom tooth removal, tooth extractions, corrective jaw surgery, and treatment of facial injuries, facial pain, and jaw joint (TMJ) disorders. Its implant services cover replacing single missing teeth, options for patients missing all upper or lower teeth, implant supported overdentures, and bone grafting to prepare the jaw for implants, along with sinus lift, ridge augmentation, and socket preservation procedures.
The practice explains that implant placement is a team effort: its surgeons handle the implant surgery, any initial extractions, and bone grafting, while the patient's own restorative dentist fits and makes the permanent replacement teeth. The surgeons are able to place single stage implants that do not require a second procedure to uncover them, and in some situations an implant can be placed at the same time as a tooth extraction. The staff is trained to assist with intravenous (IV) sedation in the office, and 3D imaging is among the listed services. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and the practice states that it serves patients from surrounding areas including Starkville, Tupelo, Meridian, and Jackson in Mississippi as well as Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama, and Memphis, Tennessee.
