Longtime Parsippany Pediatrician Passes Away

PARSIPPANY, NJ — Beloved local pediatrician Dr. Patricia A. Griffis passed away on March 13, an obituary says. She was 52.

Griffis received her medical degree from Rutgers University in 1994. She completed her internship and residency at Morristown Medical Center, which she remained affiliated with up until her death.

Parents spoke highly of Griffis, praising her dedication and caring attitude towards children.

"Dr. Griffiths has always been there for my daughter. She is good at diagnosing symptoms and giving us solutions which help. She always gets back to us quickly when we call, even in the middle of the night. I have complete faith in her abilities which is really hard to admit about anyone when it comes to health. We have been seeing her for almost 7 years and she has never been off on a diagnosis or cure. This is something which is a huge relief when you're talking about your child," a patient wrote.

"Dr. Patricia Griffis is a phenomenal physician. I take all three of my children to her and she has always been on point with her diagnosis. She never hesitates to get a second opinion and I feel like my children's health always come first for her. She is very special and I am happy to have her as my children's doctor," said another.

A celebration of life will be held in New Brunswick at Abundant Life Family Worship Church (259 George Street, New Brunswick) from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
