Dr. Green provided me a wonderfully clear explanation of not only what my diagnosis was, but why it’s occurring and what I can do about it. I left feeling completely confident in the next steps and would return in a heartbeat if I ever needed additional help. Likewise, I would and will refer family or friends to Dr. Green should anyone have problems in his areas of expertise.
