Dr. Green is the best of the best when it comes to providing care for his patients. I have had two different surgeries done by him, and both were a tremendous success! His attention to detail and thoroughness is top notch! I highly recommend him to anyone needing care in his field of expertise.

I have been a patient of Dr. Green in the past and feel like he is the best in the entire New England area—if not the country. I have injured my shoulder in the past and the expertise he performed on me to repair it was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately I have injured my other shoulder but fortunately have connected with the BEST once again. Dr. Green is well known and respected by other doctors in his field as well as physical therapists that know him. The office was friendly, professional, and efficient. I’m injured right now but comforted knowing I’m in the hands of a man at the top of his profession. Hats off to you Dr Green’s!
