With over three decades of dedicated service as a medical practitioner, Dr. Michele Y. Griffith enters a new chapter in her illustrious career with a profound sense of anticipation and a commitment to excellence. The journey commenced with an enduring passion for the practice of medicine, a flame that has burned brightly since the formative age of 12.
About Dr. Griffith
Guided by the principle of "What works for my family," strategic career choices were made, weaving a narrative of commitment to both professional expertise and personal values. The transition into this new phase is marked by a significant milestone — the youngest of five children graduating high school. As the familial nest undergoes transformation, Dr. Griffith embarks on a journey of professional elevation, seamlessly transitioning into high gear with the adept finesse that defines her trajectory.
The pursuit of excellence in education, as defined by a visionary father and mother, culminated in an Ivy League medical training spanning undergraduate studies through residency. However, the conventional career trajectory took a distinctive turn during the fourth year of medical school at Columbia/College of Physicians and Surgeons, where the onset of motherhood intertwined with academic pursuits. Despite the challenges posed by the intersection of medical studies and pregnancy, Dr. Griffith completed all graduation requirements just a week before delivering her first child.
A testament to resilience and unwavering commitment is found in the deliberate pauses taken throughout her career, each time aligning with the sacred task of nurturing and bonding with her children during their crucial infant and toddler years. A significant hiatus, spanning five years, was prompted by the challenges of hyperemesis of pregnancy during internship. Resigning and embracing the responsibilities of motherhood, she later returned to the demanding realm of medical training with a renewed vigor, a decision reflective of both personal and professional fortitude.
Navigating through the complexities of life, marked by five children and several divorces, each experience has enriched her perspective, contributing to the depth and nuance of her professional journey. As she embarks on yet another chapter, the confluence of diverse experiences serves as a wellspring of wisdom, shaping a narrative that resonates with authenticity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to the art of medicine.
Dr. Griffith brings not only a wealth of medical expertise, but a narrative that encapsulates the profound intersection of personal and professional spheres. With a commitment to elevating the art of the virtual visit, she invites you to join her on a journey where experience meets insight, and the art of medicine is presented with a rare blend of expertise and genuine humanity.
