One star is too high for this doctor. He charged me $6,900.00 for bunion surgery, which he botched. He now wants $8,400.00 to correct his mistake. I now have constant discomfort. If you are referred to him..run!!!

Avoid. Expensive, gruff, unpleasant. Sorry I overspent. Heavy sell/fancy website should have tipped me off…

Ask for nothing. Expect nothing, and if you get nothing you won't be disappointed. I should have read other's reviews before wasting my time and a lot of money for expensive orthotics that have done nothing to to relieve my foot pain.

Went for a toenail issue. He spent 10 seconds filing the mail (literally!) and then left the room, telling me to pay his receptionist $145. What an unprofessional, rude, and dismissive experience. I’ll be letting my GP know about this terrible referral.

Would not go back. My daughter had a wart on her foot and continued to go back month after month for a year with no success. Went to her MD and he took it off in one session. After asking Dr Green about cryotherapy he said it does not work. Well it does... continued to pay for monthly visits. He seems very arrogant and does not listen.

Pathetically unprofessional office. The receptionist can't be bothered to pick up the phone and claims that she was busy when you walk in 5 minutes after calling. Every visit the office has been empty and the phones silent, they even have a lunch break automated message that she has turned on after reaptedly calling( after lunch hours)Iv been here a total of 2 times and have spent $200+ for him to request a bone scan...still hasn't gotten back to me with the results....good thing I have a family doctor and got the results 2 weeks ago. Just saved me 65$ minimum and another 150$ on orthotics. In my opinion save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else, all this clown cares about is his pay day and nothing else. Your health be damned

My Doctor told me to book an appointment with Dr. Green regarding an ingrown toenail that I had for at least 5 months. I waited until I couldn't wear closed shoes before I booked my appointment to see him. I felt lucky to get an appointment so quickly as most Podiatrists are booked months in advance. In B.C. there are only 70 podiatrists for the entire province!. I was very worried about the (needle) freezing, but I can honestly say I didn't feel anything but a slight pinch with the needle. He was friendly, to the point, and the procedure was done on my first appointment, and went very well. I would recommend Dr. Green to anyone with an ingrown toenail.

My 14 year old son had an ingrown toenail in June and it was swollen and painful. We took him to Dr. Green and he numbed the toe and did a partial excision (not to the root) which seemed to help until about 2 weeks ago when the same toe became swollen and red and painful again. I got him in again this morning and he had to go through the whole procedure again and turns out there was still an ingrown piece in there. With the first excision and orthotics, we’re now out of coverage and I had to pay $290 again today. Shouldn’t he have gotten it all the first time?

Dr Green is always quick and fast but he doesn’t have much of a bedside manner or a sense of humour and I find him a bit intimidating (I’m not easily intimidated either )
