I cant begin to tell my story about the nightmare that Dr. Greenwald ( I don't even want to give him the title of Doctor but he has it )has caused for me and my family. misdiagnosis after misdiagnosis and after court findings, this Doctor has to be the worst of the worst. . This piece of filth has even lied under oath to try to save his own skin. I wish this rating site had below a one star. He doesn't deserve a zero. Oh did I mention that he has never even seen me as a patient he just has some of my records. My issue is all vascular and urological, not orthopedic. How on this good earth this man can even practice medicine is way beyond me. Retire and leave us all in better hands. Go play some golf or are you bad at that too..................

Dr. Greenwald makes his living denying good doctors the ability to provide care. His judgement and decision making ability is below the standard of care.

The world will be a better place when this reptile dies. I cannot imagine what it is like to be so evil or so hated by so many. His level of cruelty has become a legend with patient advocacy groups.

Dr Greenwald has made several diagnoses in my case,3 so far, that have been overturned by qualified doctors in their fields. Dr Greenwald has never ex amend me and has only looked at my films then would cut and paste out of medical journals. All he has accomplished so far is unnecessarily delayed my surgeries causing conditions to worsen and leaving me in unneeded pain

Greenwald denied my surgery as well! He made a business decision and not a medical decision for our health insurance. He needs to retire or get ou the the business!

Dr Grrenwald is contracted with specialty health which reviews cases for workmans com. I developed a spinal cord syndrome after an on the job accident. Dr Greenwald denied my surgery. My neurosurgeon had to call workmans comp himself and spoke to the people in charge to tell them how serious it was that I needed my surgery. I had it the next week. If my doctor didn't care I'd been in a wheelchair thanks to Dr. Greenwald. So much for the oath you took.
