August 12, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERI think he did the best he could in a way but I also feel like he kind of brushed me aside as well and he knows that the treatment wasn't very nice this past visit on the 9th was a little bit better but that's probably because I have my daughter and my best friend with me I just all the years I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with me and nobody can tell me what's wrong with me they make me feel like oh well you just have this just get over it and that's far from the truth and what's going on with me I'm still waiting to get a recommendation through them which I've been asking for quite some time because it's easier for me to go through them through a primary care doctor so that doctor gets all my documentation information for all the years that I've been doing with this stage for osteoarthritis which his developed into something more worse and that's facts
July 14, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr. Greis did an excellent job on my ACL reconstruction. He is a very efficient and knowledgeable doctor who took the time to make sure I understood everything without any fluff. He was personable and professional. My recovery has been quick and easy. I hope I don't tear my ACL again, but if I do, I would see Dr. Greis again for sure!
July 14, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr Gries listened to my symptoms. After reviewing the X-rays he discussed the findings and included me in to final decision making for treatment
July 14, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERI asked around and Doctor Greis came with excellent recommendations. He has not disappointed me. And his staff was equally amazing!!
July 11, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERExcellent surgeon, wonderful experience.
June 27, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr. Greis is the BEST! My family have used his expertise 4x. He is the ultimate professional who always has his patient's best interests at heart. He is 100% trustworthy.
June 27, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr. Greis listened carefully to my issues and weighed in my lifestyle and gave me my options in a knowledgeable and kind manner.
June 14, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr. Greis saved my active life. I will always be grateful to him.
