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.

Poor excuse for a physician
My 91 year old father in law has a fracture in his L1 and in severe pain. His daughter, his sister and myself, as well as my father in law himself, all tried to reach Dr. Green and he and his office ignored our calls. We left messages that he needs to hear from him ASAP. He's been suffering the worst for 3 days with no return call at all. No compassion! This man is a vet and this is how he is treated. Now he must find a new doctor. This same doctor refused to give my father in law a script for a handicap parking permit. A man who has difficulty walking bc of back issues and uses a walker. Shameful!

This process would not let me submit my review
I've worked in healthcare. He is without a doubt the absolute worst doctor my husband and I ever had the misfortune to experience. Condescending to patients, doesn't listen, but loves to hear the sound of his own voice. I liked his staff, but am told one of them is his wife, of which may be the ONLY reason he still has any patients. His waiting room is always empty, and I wait alone for my appointment. We got "stuck" with him because of insurance issues and provider "drops" that left us assigned to Dr.John Green and then the pandemic happened. Nothing to do but wait and finally last December 2021 when UnitedHealth Care had a conflict of interest with him seeking to be with UHC and an alternative provider service as well we finally found our way OUT of this cycle with Dr. Green and found the BEST PCP we have EVER had. Dr. Green uses uncomfortable language to convey his diagnosis and point of view from a very strange approach. He even used the word "masturbate" to describe eating

Terrible bedside manner. Doesn't respect the opinions of other medical professionals who also consulted on my care in GI and other concerns. Said the problems I experienced were my own fault for being too fat. Never mind, the family medical history or oddly declining health at a young age. He seemed to think that my being a woman was part of the problem, because women are erratic, in his opinion. Worst human encounter I've ever had to pay to experience.

If you are looking for a Primary Care Dr do NOT choose this guy. He is unprofessional, condescending and doesn't know how to speak to people. He has screamed at me for the last time! Yes, bad temper too. Stay away!

Love visiting the Dr and Staff for my annual visit. Refreshing practice of individual care vs the herd mentality of get as many in and out in an hour as possible. I feel heard, appreciated and respected as a patient.

My wife and I met with Dr. Green and was very impressed by the amount of time he spent explaining to us what he felt was needed to be corrected in our health plan. During this visit we asked about treating COVID in the event that we contracted this illness. He explained his courses of action and said that if we became ill we should contact him immediately. Well low and behold I started feeling lousy Friday, May 21st. Called Dr. Green and by Sat. had all the ways he said he would treat Covid available to me. He talked to me everyday monitoring my progress. By Thursday I was 90% better. Unlike the people who can’t even be treated until they wind up in the hospital, I’d say that my wife and I have found a Doctor who knows what he is doing and has no problem telling you. Thank You Dr. Green for caring enough and keeping your word.

Will say "your diabetes is cured" when test results come back normal, of course it means that the MEDICINE is working. He doesn't consider that MOST people would stop taking their diabetes medicine when he says something stupid like that. He can be nasty, beyond nasty, even threatening. He's awful.

First visit, front desk staff were great, when nurse left exam room she told me that I could pull my mask down until doc came, he entered without a mask and looked at me and said I want to talk to you about the mask, I interrupted, pulled the mask up and apologized for not wearing it, he said "you don't need a mask, this is just like every other corona virus. I was shocked, I told him I disagreed, he continued to say I didn't need a mask (his nurse was wearing one btw) . He continued to say that the virus was no big deal. I'm 66, and I've never walked out on a healthcare worker, but I did, he followed me out saying I was listening to the wrong media messages. See him at your own risk!

Came in with intestinal issues/pain. Dr. Green correctly diagnosed the annoying ailment, something called FIRX. That might be an acronym? Anyway, he gave me a medicine called "Totality" or something similar, almost reminded me of sushi, and after eating it, I felt much better. The pain departed after only a few doses. Dr. Green is a great doctor, really almost a wizard!

Dr. Green is a rock star. He values your time and is a great listener. He take the time to educate you and sends you off with a clear set of instructions to improve upon your health and wellness. He is well educated in nutrition and his knowledge base seems relevant and in line with TODAY'S medical advice... as opposed to what was told to our grandfathers. I have never been so excited about visiting a doctor as I am when I get to go see Dr. Green.

Dr. Green is great at diagnosing, he is very knowledgeable. He takes his time with each patient and will answer all your questions. He is one of the few doctors that actually calls you back. You never feel rushed when you are there. You do not have to wait long in his office because he does not overbook. The office staff is amazing, very efficient and friendly. When you call for an appointment or to refill a script one of the staff answers the phone, not an answer machine.

Dr. Green has been my doctor for 3 years. He's smart. He has a dry sense of humor, but he's smart and that is why I go back to him when I need him. He blends holistic methods with medical methods and I've not ever felt I needed to find a new doctor. Dr. Green is my doctor and cares about me living well.

Dr. Green is an excellent physician and has been my primary care doctor since 2006. He has always taken time to listen and is most concerned with my overall well being. By offering preventive suggestions and treating my specific health issues, I am more than pleased with his pinpointed diagnosis's in keeping me healthy. Dr. Green 's passionate understanding is direct and to the point, clarififing my misunderstandings and he offers his medical advice based on what I need not on what I wish.

Rude, condescending, will not answer questions. Suggested I make another appt if I had other questions. He claimed he had spent 25 min with me which is longer than he spent with any other patient. I waited over 45 min for him. He yelled at his staff in front of me. Told his staff never mind on the follow up appt. That he is the rudest doctor I have ever met in 55 years. He needs to retire since he hates his job that much!
