    Dr Greene is always very thorough in explaining everything to me. I appreciate his knowledge and experience.
  • Mar, 11 2026
    I had already done all the research, so I was already well informed on best treatment option and why. Q&A with PA, and Doctor, was verification.
  • Feb, 25 2026
    Dr. Greene was efficient, explained as the examination progressed and discussed with me any questions or concerns I had. He put me at ease and I felt confident in his care.
  • Feb, 7 2026
    I have never felt more listened to or cared for in a long time.. Not a single person staff member (doctor or otherwise) made me feel as if they did not care or were not listening to me.. In fact, I found it quite comforting that NO ONE seemed in a hurry to walk away without first making sure I knew and understood every step of what was going to happen before AND after my procedure...
  • Feb, 6 2026
    Dr. Greene clearly explained my problem, the issues caused by my problem, discussed multiple solutions, let me make the decision on which solution I felt best for my problem and, by the way, was the same solution he felt would be best for me. Additionally, I appreciate Dr. Greene's candor, honesty and professionalism.

    Visit was very good! The doctor explained what tests he wanted me to have done and was very fast and thorough! Only problem was that he was so fast I forgot to ask for a new prescription for a medication my old Urologist had me taking!

    First time with Dr. Greene . Very good first impression, very caring, seems very knowledgeable ,really liked him
  • Oct, 4 2025
    Dr. Greene thouroghly explained all aspects of my condition. He also showed the images on my CT scan to support my diagnosis (and made sure I understood what I was looking at). He took the time to discuss all treatment options and his proposed plan, and answered all my questions prior to US making a decision on how to proceed with my care. Although, most of all, he is very nice and easy to talk to. Not a stitch of white coat ego with him. Definitely would recommend him to anyone a million time over!
