Daniel E. Griffin, M.D.
Personal Note
My wife dedicated herself to rearing our two daughters until they left home. Now she dabbles in interior design or anything artsy. We enjoy traveling. One of our greatest joys has been helping to plant Highpoint Church and watching its influence on the Mid-South area.
