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.

Thank You Dr. Greene!
I needed to see a Thoracic Surgeon so my Primary & Oncologist referred me to Dr. Greene. When I met Dr. Greene I knew right away that he was going to be the Surgeon! He was very soft spoken, explained the procedure and some options or changes that may occur during surgery, and explained some changes I may have to adjust to afterwards. While in hospital, Dr. Greene visited me every day until I was released.His Staff is also outstanding! They answered my questions and made me feel better knowing I had people that cared!Thank you to Dr. Greene & his Staff!Highly highly recommend!!!

Extensive surgical procedure.
Last month Dr. Greene operated on my husband for a tumor in his right lung. There were several tests done ahead of this, including a biopsy by Dr. Greene to confirm that it was a malignant tumor. Because of the size and location of the tumor it was necessary for Dr. Greene to remove the entire lung and adjacent lymph nodes. Luckily for us the tumor was found and addressed quickly enough that it had not yet spread to any other areas in my husband’s body.Dr. Greene came highly recommended to us and is a really excellent surgeon. He is also a compassionate, caring, supportive and encouraging doctor. His reporting on his surgical procedure was extensive, but as he said, it was in “doctors speak,” so he took the time to go over the entire report in layman’s terms for us to fully understand the full scope of the surgery.We are so thankful to him for the care he gave my husband and recommend him with our highest respect and regards.

Highly recommended
In this fast paced world we live in today Dr Greene helped to restore our faith in mankind. He was a very personable Dr. He took the time to explain everything before treatment and afterwards to where we could understand it. He did not rush in nor rush out when with us. We knew we had the right Dr when all the medical staff had nothing but good things to say about him. And we found this to be true with his office staff also.We feel very blessed that Dr Greene was there to take care of my husband during this emergency situation.Bottom line, know that you are in good hands with Dr. Michael Greene and his staff.Thank you Dr. Greene and Staff

Thank you for being so caring.
When faced with changing abnormal areas on CT and PET CT, I needed invasive follow-up, I was sent to Dr Green who was an approved physician with my insurance. He explained my options and gave me choices. After 40 years as an imaging technologist and seeing hundreds of lung biopsies, I chose to have the growing nodule in my chest removed without a biopsy. I am 2 weeks post-op and now rid of the cancer and abnormal cells in my right lung. Dr Green and his staff have been great and would highly recommend him.

When I had my first encounter with Dr Greene, it was like he had nothing else to do except tell me about the surgery I needed. He was very casual in a very professional way. I felt very safe after our meeting.

Dr. Green The Best
Dr. Green reserved time in his busy schedule to discuss my surgery before the time came to perform the surgery and after the suceessful completion. Knowing what was to happen and what to expect made all the difference. He cares about what he does and how he does it.I understand that becouse of his work my recovery time will be short. My surgery was a very difficult one so, I Thank You Sir.

Pacer Change out.
Dr. Green is a professional doctor with a great attitude toward patient care. HE work on my pacer replacement was top notch and would recommend him and the staff at Sebastian River Hospital to anyone who is in need of thoracic surgery. I was in and out 5 hours door to door. Never felt rushed. The whole staff took their time and explained every treatment and procedure. Answered any of the questions asked. The outcome was terrific I'm happy to say.

Realistic Explanations
Dr. Greene was thoughtful, considerate of the time we waited for him (he was running a few minutes late and had his staff keep us updated!) and thoroughly explained how the pacemaker was placed and what it would do to keep the heart in check. An enjoyable visit to a physician's office!
