He was very knowledgeable about my X-rays and was cat scan and explained them to me. He also took the time to talk to me and tell me what I need to do at this point until he sees me again in a few weeks.

May be a great Dr. Not sure .But have never seen a Dr. With dirty fingernails early in the morning. Would be a bit concerned about surgery and getting infections .

Dr Green is an excellent surgeon. I recently had my right shoulder replaced & have had my two week post-op appointment. He displayed/explained the x-rays, was truly interested in how I was doing, and reviewed the passive exercises he wants me to continue doing. Dr Green never rushes to get a patient in & out. He has always been this way. He replaced my other shoulder 7 yrs ago. It had been great ever since!

Dr green was pleasant but quick and didn’t seem to want to get to know me or my problem. Felt like it was the shoulder and mri would really only do forearm. So a bit confused but hoping to learn more and hopefully he will follow up because I have no idea if he will or my primary
Doesn’t feel like healthcare

Dr. Green has a less is more approach to healthcare, and will not go recommending things you don't need.

I hoped he would give me more information, e.g. what sort of injection was it. Cortisone? Would it interact with my Coumadin? What will be the effect of the injection?
Nov-2019
He's well informed of what's going on with the patient. Knowledgeable in his field. And asks, what you want to happen, not what he thinks should happen, it's your choice.
