IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Greater Woodlawn is one of St. Petersburg's most settled residential neighborhoods — the kind where the same families have lived for two and three generations, where neighbors still leave doors unlocked when they walk the dog, and where the streets are quiet enough to hear the mockingbirds. It sits directly north of our Historic Kenwood office, close enough that several of our physicians have members they see on their morning walk. The neighborhood is not a destination — it is exactly the kind of place that people in other parts of the city drive through and quietly wish they had moved to.
Our St. Petersburg office is a 4-minute drive from the heart of Greater Woodlawn — directly south on MLK Jr Street to 1st Avenue N. For many members, the drive is shorter than the check-out line at the Publix on 38th. Private parking is always available, and the pace of care once inside matches the pace of the neighborhood outside.
Woodlawn's long-tenure residents are among the most deliberate patients in our practice — they have been through the production-line primary care system and know exactly what it costs them in time, continuity, and trust. The Griffin model is the corrective: one physician, one Patient Care Coordinator, and a practice designed around the relationship rather than the throughput. Quarterly preventive care reviews, 24/7 direct physician access, and visit times that reflect what it actually takes to care for a person.
Our internists practice medicine that earns its trust over time — through remembered details, consistent follow-through, and care that does not reset with every new semester of residents. If you live in Greater Woodlawn and you are ready for a physician relationship that reflects how long you have lived in this city, call (727) 516-7272 or inquire online.
