Dr. Terrence Michael Greene, MD

Love Dr Greene answers all questions very caring excellent care

In Feb. of 2018 I was admitted to the hospital with a serious case of diverticulitis that would require surgery. The hopes were to have me on antibiotics and 'clean me out' to get me ready for surgery. For the first 6 days all seemed to be going well, but then on the 7th day I was having severe pain which increased during the day until my micro-perforation turned into a full-blown emergency level perforation. I was originally admitted and cared for by Dr. Jerry Jesseph (another wonderful surgeon), but as it was a Saturday at 1 am, he spoke to Dr. Greene and they decided that my care would be transferred to Dr. Greene due to the fact that I would have to have another surgery 6 months down the road after Dr. Jesseph retired (which is a HUGE loss for our community). Within an hour of the CT scan that confirmed the suspicions that my colon had ruptured, Dr. Greene was at my bedside introducing himself and explaining to me what was going to happen. He is more straightforward and to the… point than Dr. Jesseph, but I felt very comfortable and at ease with him, and I wasn't even scared when I was wheeled into the operating room. The surgery went very well, I have found him to be a very caring surgeon who answered every question and concern I had with respect and patience. I will be having another surgery to reverse my colostomy in three months and am not scared at all. Bloomington is very lucky to have such a skilled surgeon!

I felt confident with Doctor Greene's diagnosis and treatment

I love Dr. Greene, professional and wonderful staff

Great doctor

First of all let me just say if it was not for doctor green I would not be here today ! He is one of the best surgeons I have ever had! He first operated on me 20 years ago and saved my life! I ran into him some years later at a barber shop and he remembered my name, what he operated on me for and even checked out my scar to see how it healed. Now how many doctors do you know these days that would even remember your name, symptoms, without having a chart in front of them? Not too damm many! Dr green has given his soul to his practice he works countless hours on call to the point that it affects his own health. But you would never here him complain! Dr green has taken on the task to save the world one person at a time! For this reason I have nothing but total respect for this man! I have surgery scheduled in the morning, I have total faith in you Dr. Green!

I would HIGHLY recommend Dr.Greene to others. I had breast cancer and he removed my breast, then had to put in a port for chemo. He is a very caring person, takes the time to explain the procedure to you. Listens to any concerns you have. I will go back to him if I ever need surgery again.

My husband and I were in an accident and Dr. Greene was the doctor on call when the accident happened. He had a very caring manner about him, he understood what I was going through with losing my husband. I would HIGHLY recommend him and his staff to everyone!!

Dr. Greene saw me when I was experiencing Volvulus due to a birth defect (that had been undiagnosed for 24 years) called Intestinal Malrotation. Dr. Greene doesn't have much personality - he's very monotone and straight to the point. He doesn't have much bedside manner either, and he acts frustrated when you don't understand what he's talking about. At first, Dr. Greene wanted to do immediate surgery. But then, he changed his mind. I continued to follow up with a doctor that he referred me to. For 4 months, my health kept declining. I was readmitted into the hospital, and Dr. Greene came to see me. However, he was not a pleasant man. He pretty much threatened to put me on a feeding tube or send me to Indianapolis. His diagnosis was "nothing's wrong with you." He engaged in an argument with my husband, and left. While I was at the hospital, I found out I had a serious case of E. coli for the entire 4 months that I saw Dr. Greene and the doctor he referred me to. They… overlooked my symptoms and disregarded my health - simply because they didn't really care and would rather offend me than explain anything to me. I also had to ask the nurses to come into my room whenever he arrived so that my family and I could speak with him. He wouldn't stick around to discuss anything - and a nurse had to cut him off to ask our questions for us because his loud voice would override ours. Rumor has it - it is really easy to offend him because he's pretty egotistical and treats his nurses badly - so I've heard from them.

I had two personal minor experiences with Dr. Greene--both out patient surgeries for me. Very happy with him and his skills. Then, a huge experience with Dr. Greene as surgeon for my mother, when she had cancer induced bowel obstruction. He went in expecting a simple "scaring" issue from her previous cancer surgery, to find multiple abdominal canerous tumors. He called my mother's gynecological oncologist, and the two--in the OR--discussed the best course of action. 4.5 hours later, we hear the sad news, but also the news that Ma would be with us longer, than if she had not had the skilled surgery, Dr. Greene provided. He was a pro--but also a human being. One of the sweetist, kindest doctors our family has known--and we have been very fortunate in our physicians. I can't imagine anyone finding fault with Dr. Greene. He was, and is fabulous.
