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.

The best care !
Dr. Greenky has always been very helpful.Excellent explanation of conditions and treatments. He is very compassionate and kind. He did 2 knee replacements for me. Results are still perfect 5 years later.

Reckless and Irresponsible
Dr. Greenky will perform surgeries on patients regardless if it is the right surgery for them. If it pays he will do it. He did a bilateral knee replacement on my mother and she was dead 2 months later. Any Dr could see that she was not a good candidate for this surgery. She was just a perfect victim for him. She had good insurance and was desperate to walk again.
