"My first impression of Dr Greene was a result of meeting him at my initial consult in his office. I had attended the support group session prior to making my appointment but had not actually seen him there for assorted reasons. Anyway, he seemed very knowledgeable and looked to get answers to some very specific questions that seemed to give him an idea of whether or not I really knew what I was asking to get into. The time I spent with him at that initial visit was very brief - I really expected there to be more - but I left feeling like since I was able to give good answers to those few "test" questions, maybe he didn't need to spend a lot of time explaining things to me. Over time, I was able to see him at several more support group meetings and have found him to be someone who does not encourage the surgery for his own sake. He seems to want to ensure that the patient has truly tried everything else and that this is really a last option. He is also emphasizes patient education as being of the utmost importance. I was impressed that he didn't try to sugar-coat the severity or potential complications of the surgery. His office staff is excellent. Julia, Jeanne and Sue are all tremendously caring and willing to go above and beyond to help the patients. I would say that it is absolutely imperative that patients be responsible for gathering their own information and making sure that what they have is correct - don't ask these ladies to do your work for you. This is your surgery and you need to take responsibility for ensuring that everything flows as smoothly as possible. Dr Greene and his staff are emphatic that aftercare is vital to success. He seems to be a dedicated and caring professional willing to go the extra mile to assist his patients.

062403 - Dr Greene's office is amazing! I was approved for medical necessity in one day, and a week later I'VE GOT A DATE!!!! So now, 22 September 2003 I get to "the other side"!!! God is awesome and Dr Greene, Jeanne, Julia & Sue are wonderful. In working together with them, the entire process was able to be short and positive."
