Member Feedback:
"Dr. Greene displayed his extensive knowledge of my particular case with questions that were concise and to the point. He was focused on the issues that pertained the pain I've been experiencing in the low and mid-back. He made excellent suggestions for me to take back to my treating physician as to alternate therapies that may give me significant relief for an extended period. He presents as a caring and concerned physician with whom made me feel at ease straight away. He is a wealth of information and was a pleasure to speak with."
