Reviews of Devan Griner MD (Plastic Surgery)

D Day

My son injured his hand and I was told to have follow up with a pediatric plastic surgeon. Dr. Griner was very professional, kind and thorough in his exam. He visited with him about his interests during the exam and made sure that as a child he was comfortable with the process. The visit did not end with the office visit. He personally called us and made sure he was doing better. Dr. Griner's office staff was friendly and kind. They took my insurance information and copayment right when I entered so I did not have to worry about it. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Griner is professional, caring, and a true life-saver. (Really- he actually saved my life!) He has gone the extra mile and beyond for my reconstruction surgeries. He is up to date with the latest skills, and I am so happy with results. Dr G has made me look and feel better than when I started this cancer and recon journey. I have talked to other patients of his-- with a variety a variety of cosmetic and reconstruction procedures, and they are all happy, too. Dr Griner also spends a lot of time away from his own kids so he can help other children. He fixes cleft palates around the world and makes beautiful smiles. He is a true super-hero. (Thank you to his mom- she should be proud. And Thank you to his wife for her influence and for holding down the fort while he saves the world, one surgery at a time.) You're in good hands with Griner!

Dr Griner has been wonderful to work with. After some unforeseen complications following my breast reduction, I was severely lacking in hope. Dr Griner never lost hope, he was incredibly optimistic, and I felt safe in trusting him. He has put together an incredible staff that exudes his same optimism. He is also an artist and it shows in the way he considers things. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Griner for whatever work you need done.

The office of Elevation Plastic Surgery is inviting in its decor and radiates a warm welcome from Doctor Griner's front office team. I have been receiving paramount care and support from Doctor Griner over the last nine months. Doctor Griner has made a positive difference during an extremely difficult time in my life. With his easy-going demeanor and genuine compassion, Doctor Griner quickly became the calm in my terrifying storm. Doctor Griner is articulate in explaining the best-proposed treatment step by step. And although he has shared similar conversations numerous times before, he knows it's my first time hearing it. Doctor Griner is perceptive and would pause in speaking when he could see I had questions and needed a moment. Having something as devasting as breast cancer placed upon you, the doctors that enter to diagnose and treat the disease become your lifeline. Doctor Griner is very attentive in his care and support. Each time I have had a concern or question, Doctor Griner would respond with a sense of urgency, giving me countless peace of mind exhale moments. Doctor Griner's plastic and reconstructive surgery skills are an art of his passion and natural gifts. I am over the moon with my continuous results. My sincerest gratefulness, always, for being the calm in my terrifying storm and guiding me through.

Dr. Griner worked on my 6 year old daughter after a bad accident. He treated her as if she was his own and his work was perfection! He has been unbelievably kind to us and our situation. I have only great things to say.

I have been a patient of Dr. Griners for about a year now. I had a double mastectomy as a result of breast cancer. Dr. G, as I call him, has treated me with so much kindness and respect since day one! I have had multipal revision surgeries and have wanted to quit a few times. Not only has he been supportive, he has helped me to feel like I can overcome this situation! Needless to say I have not quit and I'm so grateful to have him in my corner! He is an AMAZING surgeon and a FANTASTIC human being!! I would recommend him to anyone!!

I can't say enough good things about this doctor. He is the best craniofacial surgeon anywhere! My son has bilateral cleft palate and Pierre Robin Sequence. Dr. Griner and his team did a wonderful job on my son's jaw surgery and he repaired his palate so well that all of my son's other specialty doctors comment on the beautiful job. My baby is progressing so well and I owe a lot of that to Dr. Griner and his cleft team. To say I am happy I found him would be an understatement. He listens to his patients/parents and is so understanding and compassionate. He is also very confident in his work as he should be. He also goes the extra mile to make sure that you and your family are taken care of during the hospital stay. Only the best will do for my children and he is the best! I can't thank him enough!!!

I can't even explain how grateful we are that we chose Dr. Griner for our son's surgery. Our son had a collapsed nasal valve, not being able to breathe at all on one side. He had also had some cosmetic concerns for a long time. After surgery, it's night and day difference in how well my son can breathe for the first time in his life. Secondly, his nose looks amazing! Dr. Griner has changed my son's life and we can't thank him enough. We don't typically write reviews but this has been such an incredible experience from start to finish that we HAD to share it! Dr. Griner truly cares and takes pride in his work. The quality of his work speaks for itself. We give him 1000 more stars!

Update*** I initially gave this a one star review. In conjunction with my first review I wrote. Dr. Griner himself called me and apologized for the mix up between his company and with converging with this new company. He really listened and was grateful that the matter was brought to his attention. Dr Griner was very pleasant with our initial appointment and on the phone. He handled the situation himself. Dr Griner was great to work with it, it was his billing department that was not representing him well. We will be happy to see Dr Griner again and I am grateful that he has honor in how his name gets represented . First Review** I took my son in for a free consultation for a possible mole removal above his lip. Dr. Griner was very friendly, talked to my son about football. The initial visit was pleasant. We left the office without paying because Dr. Griner himself confirmed that it was a free consultation. 1 year later I received a bill for that appointment. Spoke with the nurse (Robyn) who confirmed yes it was a free consultation and she would handle it so I would no longer receive a bill. Dr Griner has combined his practice with another company and the billing department is like a collection agency. Very rude. Month after month being told that the bill should be reversed and now almost 1.5 year after our appointment we are told that they will give us a discount, but the Dr didn’t know how to bill for his own appointments and that’s why they were hired to do so and we have to still pay, for a free consultation. I would have gone to this doctor for my sons mole removal, but because of this situation I believe his practice can not be trusted. You will get bill after bill, year after year. I have asked to talk to the doctor personally, since he was the one that confirmed it was a free consultation to begin with, and have not been able to contact him. It’s disappointing when practices use hidden tactics to get a bit of extra money.

I have worked with Dr Griner for years. He is ethical and does excellent work. He is one of the finest surgeons in the country. His work is not only the top in Utah but the entire country. He has done excellent work not only on mutual patients but on my family as well. His bed side manner and genuine concern are second to none. Utah is fortunate to have such a great surgeon.

About 2 weeks ago during a basketball game, I split my eyebrow/forehead open (about 1.5 inches long) all the way to the skull. Dr. Griner saw to my wound that night, even outside of normal business hours. He put in 14 stitches, and I can barely tell that anything happened to it! The scar is barely visible and is small enough that it should completely disappear in the next couple months! I would recommend him to anyone!
