Lacks compassion; self absorbed; Talks more about himself than patient issue; Failed to resolve my wife’s knee issue with meniscus surgery; he told her to learn to live with the pain and quit acting like he diagnosed her with cancer; When her knee didn’t heal stated that he usually doesn’t do the surgery on people over 55 but never mentioned that before surgery. Blamed continuing issue on arthritis but 2nd opinion Dr found no arthritis; difficult to schedule appt and get info from his staff. Told her next step is knee replacement - from meniscus tear to knee replacement!!

Horrible experience from the hospital to rehab. Extended hospital stay. We only saw the doctor once. Pain control was completely inadequate after a total knee surgery. A Foley catheter was placed and completely mismanaged. Rehab was a disaster at best with inadequate staff and services.

He's so dang sexy you're going to want to break your own pelvis bone just for a chance to get in there to ogle him and show him the damage! I can hear the bells and I'm gonna make sure he hears them, too, 'cuz I got one wish left on this magic lantern.
Somebody! Quick! Run over me with a John Deere tractor!

6 weeks out of surgery, I feel fantastic and ready to get back to biking and yoga. I am so very happy with my new hip and my quick healing time with the anterior approach to surgery.

My total knee replacement procedure has been a very positive experience from start to finish. Dr. Greene and his staff have been both professional and caring in all our interactions. Following Dr. Greene's instructions, I fully recovered and returned to gym exercise and other activities in six weeks.

I was given the most professional, intelligent, personalized, and fantastically wonderful experience on each and every occasion. I feel extremely blessed because Dr. Greene is the best doctor I have ever known professionally and spiritually. I had to have another emergency surgery after this surgery and it was almost more than I could deal with but with the help of everyone on his staff and him, my life has been extended to the best that it could ever have been.
