For over twenty years Dr. Griffin and his staff have served the people of Syracuse and Oneida. Our office in Syracuse opened in 1978 offering general ophthalmic care with a specialty in cataract surgery. In the same year Dr. Griffin joined with the well respected practice of Dr. Brewer in Oneida. Following Dr. Brewer's retirement, we continued to serve his patients, and share offices on Main Street with Drs. Poulin and Baker. We are committed to both of these wonderful communities.

In performing advanced medical services we have sought to provide the best of medical and surgical care to our patients in a comfortable and caring environment. In our relationships with other medical and optometric providers, we have looked beyond our services to refer patients to other professionals we feel can continue the quality of care that we provide.

Office Hours and Emergencies:

Our staff is available by telephone Monday through Friday from 7:30AM - 4:30PM to schedule appointments and answer questions. Emergency calls are taken at all hours, day or night, and appropriate instructions will be given to you by the physician on call. Should you have an eye problem or concern, we welcome your call and the opportunity to serve you.

Appointments:

We see patients by appointment and make every effort to stay on schedule. We know your time is important and we pride ourselves on being a "no-wait" office. However, once in awhile, unanticipated problems or emergencies might cause your appointment to be delayed. We will make every effort to warn you of a possible delay in advance should this happen.

As a courtesy to other patients and staff, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible if you are unable to keep an appointment or are running late.

Sometimes, patients who arrived at the office after you may be called in ahead of you. We ask your understanding in that sometimes either a patient is in pain or requires a test that needs to be started early. We will do everything possible to expedite your visit and are sensitive to your time schedule.

At the time you schedule your appointment, please be aware that your eyes may be dilated for the exam. We have reversal drops available but encourage you to bring sunglasses and a person to drive if you feel unable to drive on your return home.

We also request that you bring your old glasses with you, even if they are broken or unsatisfactory, and a list of medications you are currently taking.
