He attended Thomas Jefferson University Medical College where he was elected to the Hobart Armory Hare surgical honor society and the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society.  He completed his residency training with the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

Dr. Griffin is passionate about advancing the field of dermatology.  He was influenced at a young age by his father, a prominent dermatologist and dermatopathologist in the Philadelphia area. As a child, he spent countless hours alongside his father looking through a microscope and learning how to read pathology slides. Today, as a recognized leader in the field, Dr. Griffin incorporates clinical trials and research projects into his practice. He advises medical device companies on the development of new laser technology by serving on their advisory boards and delivers invited lectures and educational seminars across the country about the latest advancements in laser surgery.

Outside the office, Dr.Griffin is an avid golfer, triathlete and die-hard Philadelphia sports fan. He enjoys spending time outdoors with his family - while wearing proper sun protection of course!

"Everyone's skin has unique needs and a different tolerance to treatment. Achieving the best result requires understanding the technology and physics behind each laser device, deciding which to use, and knowing how to customize the settings for each individual patient. This is the art, and the fun, of laser medicine." - Dr. Griffin
