Barry Greene

"I had an immediate feeling of confidence after first meeting with Dr. Greene. He came across as caring and very knowledgable. Nothing has changed my first impressions. Office staff seems to be somewhat rushed but I never had any problems with getting in touch with someone to answer my questions. Dr. Green has two support groups, one for his RNY patients and another for the Lap-Band patients. They meet several times a month. He emphasizes both pre and post op care. He has just started a program in partnership with Shady Grove Adventist Hospital which includes psychological, exercise training, and nutritional counseling as part of the pre and post op phases. Dr. Greene is quite adamant that everyone knows about the risks and complications of WLS surgery going in. It's repeated at all the support group meetings, which always has a few new people getting orientated for the first time. He also goes over all the various WLS operations available, and their pros and cons. He also has three support group web sites. If you decide to have one of the operations he does not do he will refer you to someone who does. I rate him as an excellent doctor. I think competence is the most important factor, but it's nice to have both. "
