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.

Great Experience
Dr. Greenfield has amazing bedside manner. He was very informative and easy to understand. I am very confident in his treatment plan for me.

Saw Dr. Greenfield for Hip pain
Dr. Greenfield is very professional and was kind to us. He was very thorough and listen to my description of the pain. I was happy to find out that I did not need hip replacement. He gave me a shot for bursitis pain. Also an order for Physical Therapy for my lumbar spondylitis. The hip pain is completely gone now. I am very happy with the treatment I received.

Dr Greenfield was professional but very cold to me
When Dr Greenfield examined me checking my strength he barely touched me. I heard Dr Greenfield in the room adjacent to me after he slammed the door leaving my room. He was more cordial to that patient and even said “have a great day”I found myself asking what was the difference in me and that patient. Was it because he was male or because he was white?I was there for a second opinion. I was so stunned by the difference of opinion that I received I couldn’t even think of the questions I should have asked. I’m thinking about reaching out to his assistant to ask on my behalf.The rest of the staff was extremely helpful and cordial.

I can't believe the level of insensitivity I received from this Dr. He showed very little to no interest to my concerns. He also was rude. I thought he was just busy during the first visit. However hospital behavior was the same or worst at the second. After explaining the pain I'm still in, he quickly dismissed my concerns. He ended with saying I don't have any answers as to why you're still in pain. ' I don't think that you need an MRI or anything. I said I do'. His response was 'good' and left out slamming the door.

Delicate neck surgery, great results
I am very pleased with Dr. Greenfield and his staff. He spent more than adequate time during my visits explaining his diagnosis and the procedure, including what to expect afterwards. Everything was exactly as he said it would be. My procedure was a total success and I couldn’t be more pleased.

Terrific Doctor
I’ve been under Dr Greenfield’s excellent care and guidance for almost 3 years total pre-op to post-op for my spinal stenosis care. I really was hesitant in the beginning and I had a ton of questions and concerns, but he went through everything with me and left me confident in my decision to go forward with the surgery. It has been a long road, but he and his staff were there every step of the way. I can only tell you from my experience that he is one of the good ones and puts a lot of care and professionalism behind his work. If I ever have a need for another orthopedic surgery there will be no second thought on who I’d trust and call on.

It’s Gone
When I went into surgery I could barely walk and then it was only with a cane or walker. 6 months of constant pain. When I woke up all of my leg pain was gone! Dr Greenfield was great. He told me exactly what to expect. I had to recover from the surgery itself but after 6 weeks I feel fantastic! I was pretty much hopeless when I first came to Dr Greenfield I could barely see my future. Now I have a very clear vision of a pain free future. Thank you Dr Greenfield!

Avoid this ridiculously arrogant doctor!
I am still suffering and in pain almost 2 yrs after he replaced my hip but now I have a competent Dr who is working with me and resolving this rather than dismissing me and belittling my pain as Greenfield always has. I honestly have not one good thing to say about this Dr who is actually beyond arrogant with the most insufferable bedside manner you will ever encounter. So absolutely Avoid!

I can't speak for anyone else. My experience with this doctor was not great. He has no respect for time. The 3times I saw him he was always 45mins to an hour late. Isn't that why appointment are made?! He's arrogant and self absorbed. He was more interested in if I had a workers comp case than my well being. JUST MONEY HUNGRY....KICK ROCKS!

I regret ever letting him do surgery on my spine for herniated disks. I still have complications and unexplainable scaring. When I asked he said the scar came from tubing that was put down my throat during surgery. He does not care about his patients and does not listen to your concerns. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM!

Very arrogant doesn’t listen to my concerns about pain and my medical condition. My visits only last for 5 minutes at the most. He recommends that I see someone else in a rude manner. I would recommend that no one see him if you have a serious condition. He seems to contradict everything he swore in his Medical Hippocratic Oath
