Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wasn't impressed. Once he found out I use an alternative sleep/pain med (edibles), he wasn't interested in anything else other than that had to be what was causing my symptoms. I tried to tell him that my symptoms were resolving and I was still taking the alternative, but he didn't want to hear that. I only spent five minutes with him; I saw intern for a bit longer.

I had surgery to have a fistula installed in my arm for kidney dialysis access. After three months the site still not healed and not usable. A new surgeon looked at the site and stated the fistula parts are not connected and therefore not usable on any level and a new surgery is warranted. I was not pleased. I would not recommend.

Dr Green refused to talk to me ever to explain emergency surgery that ruined my life and that I refused to agree to. He preformed surgery without my consent and did not follow my advanced care directive and did not contact the person I listed to make decisions for me. Instead, he mutilated me to such a degree that I can not live like this. I went in for neck surgery, acquired heel ulcers and septic shock in the hospital and left almost a month later without a complete colon

Dr. Green is the best. he not only fixed my laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (that another surgeon messed up) but he made me feel at ease. He is great to talk to and will answer your question with confidence. I have a new leas on life now. Thank you.
