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.

Dr. Greenberg is unique, creative, empowering, and highly intelligent. After each visit I leave confident in my understanding and secure with the care plan Dr. Greenberg developed with and for me and my preferences/circumstances. She is both brilliant and kind.

Dr. Greenberg is the best!
Dr. Greenberg has been my PCP for 30 years. She is kind, caring, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. On many occasions she seems to know me better than I know myself. There’s a reason I haven’t changed doctors in three decades! Highly recommend!

She is my best choice
Dr. Greenberg is the best doctor I've ever had. She is knowledgeable, professional, nice and attentive. My appointments never got to wait, the nurse and the office staff are friendly and efficient under her management. I always received follow-up letters from her the same day after the visits. I'm so happy that she is my primary doctor.

PFM Is Wonderful - so is Dr. Catou Greenberg
I was a rush patient with an urgent need to be tested and seen by Dr. Catou Greenberg of one of her PAs. I tested positive for a UTI infection and Dr. Greenberg saw me without an appointment. I was so thankful and relieved. I am on meds now and feeling much better. Thank you Dr. Greenberg.

I have been a patient of Dr. Greenberg's for several years now, and have always been comfortable with her, knowing that she is interested in helping me in every way she can, listens, knowledgeable, personable, and I can always count on she, or one of the P.A.s in her office, able to come in to see me on the day of my health issue (provided it's during the week), which is a real plus.
