Great Man, Great Doctor
Really like Dr.Greis. He was really understanding and concerned about my shoulder and explained to me everything about the surgery and how things were going to be after surgery, and the follow up's afterwards were good with the exams and his comments on how everything looked good and explained his concerns. I just really like him and thanked him for his knowledge and my concerns. Told him I would be back to him if my left shoulder keeps acting up.
Top notch surgeon who possesses not only excellent surgical skills, but exceptional bedside manner and unrivaled patient care. I wouldn't go anywhere else for knee surgery in the state of Utah.
Knows his patient meeds
I am in health care and was very impressed with Dr Greis and the U of U team. Top notch care and follow up.
Since my first preop visit for my surgery to my postop visit Doctor Greis and Andrew his assistant were there to see us through the surgery and answered every question we had and concerns they have an awesome team would definitely recommend to our family and friends.

Dr. Greis is an amazing surgeon!!!!! He performed a total reverse shoulder replacement surgery on me in May and I now have 85% of my range of motion and strength back. It is life changing to be able to use both arms again and to play sports again.
Very professional. Clear and thorough.
Excellent surgical work and the follow up appointment showing all lined up perfectly with no postoperative problems. Job well done !
Awesome surgeon and very nice guy. Would recommend him to anyone who asked.
Dr. Greis is professional and an expert. Replaced both shoulders. Excellent outcomes.
I have several issues with my knee, no meniscus, bone spurs, osteoarthritis all three chambers full of fluid in the knee, and a deep laceration in the cartilage, and wants to a meniscectomy on what ever meniscus I have floating in my knee that can potentially prevent my knee from locking. This will be my 5th surgery on my left knee since 2010.
Took time to answer all my questions. I appreciated his insights and experience.
Dr, Greis is an amazing surgeon who cares deeply about his patients. His staff is amazingly thorough, knowledgeable, and caring. The care and treatment that I received far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Greis and his staff to anyone in need of surgery.

Everything from check in to check out was smooth. Dr. Greis is phenomenal. He is courteous, kind, and is always willing to listen to his patients. As a physician myself, I appreciate Dr. Greis for his fantastic attributes.
I feel that I couldn't have had a better Orthopedic surgeon. He and his Staff are amazing!
Outstanding! Dr. Gries is absolutely amazing. He is very professional, down to earth and has done an amazing job on evaluating fixing my broken parts. Recommend highly without hesitation or reservation. Thanks Dr. Greis!

Everything has gone extremely smooth. Surgery went great. Pain level has been low. Dr Greis is a great surgeon and has great bedside manner. Explains everything so I understand and am comfortable with what's going on.

Great doctor I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Gries to anyone. Thanks Doc I'll see you next year!
Dr. Greis is an amazing surgeon. He performed a total reverse shoulder replacement surgery on me and essentially gave me my right arm back. He is experienced, knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. He listens and he patiently answers all questions clearly replete with drawing pictures to explain concepts.
Dr. Greis is awesome. He replaced one of my shoulders and repaired the other. I would have an extremely difficult time if I had to have another doctor.
He clearly knows his stuff. He explained things clearly, and left me confident in the plan ahead.

Great Dr.
Excellent care!
Dr. Greis is knowledgeable, skilled, competent, and caring. He is the BEST! I am grateful you have hired him and kept him at the University of Utah for so long.
I couldn't be more pleased with my shoulder replacement surgery. The surgery went great and the post-operative course has been going great. I have the highest level of confidence in Dr. Greis' clinical acumen and surgical skills.
Great surgeon
He is the best DR I've ever seen
Dr Greis and his orthopedic team all were very concerned about my injury. They all worked very good to to diagnose and map out a way for my recovery. This is my second time seeing Dr Greis. I definitely will refer him to my friends and family.
very skilled and competant
I have the utmost respect for and confidence in Dr. Greis' clinical acumen and surgical skills. I continue be amazed at how little pain I experienced following the shoulder replacement surgery. I am also very impressed how intelligently Dr. Greis considered how medical issues can impact surgery and rehabilitation.
Heard many good things and expect the surgery to go well. Will know more Monday evening
Receiving health services with Dr. Patrick was very good since he performed the surgery very well and I am seeing very good results in a short time. He also gives very personal attention to each patient. [TRANSLATED]
Great to explain to you how the process would go. Very kind and happy. I feel good about him doing my shoulder.
Dr. Greis is very nice and patient! A successful surgery and good experience.
I think he is a great surgeon, and did a great job on my surgery
Dr. Greis was very professional and did a great job. I would highly recommend him to anyone and would come back to see him in the future.
I trust Dr. Greis taking care of my surgeries with my rotator repair(s) and bicep re-attaching. He's done my left shoulder- and now about to repair my right. Hrs an asset to the orthopedic dept at the U .
I was expecting an appointment to go under the knife, but that was the Dr's. Last option. He was very honest and straight forward.
Dr Greis was patient, well informed and reassuring.
Very professional.
Skilled surgeon, friendly and professional in all interactions.
Dr. Greis will take the time to understand what your problem is and and be sure you understand the risks and benefits of different approaches to treatments.
Awesome. Very talented and lots of experience. Took the time to listen to me and work with me on solutions.

First class Doctor. Took care of both my shoulders and turned out the results were amazing.
Dr. Greis is knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, and caring. He explained the extent of my injury clearly as well as possible treatment options with the pros and cons to each. His bedside manner is excellent! He instilled trust instantly and I knew that he really cared about me and my recovery. He is an amazing physician and I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to be cared for by him.
I asked around and Doctor Greis came with excellent recommendations. He has not disappointed me. And his staff was equally amazing!!
Dr Gries listened to my symptoms. After reviewing the X-rays he discussed the findings and included me in to final decision making for treatment
Dr. 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!
Excellent surgeon, wonderful experience.
Dr. 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.
Dr. Greis listened carefully to my issues and weighed in my lifestyle and gave me my options in a knowledgeable and kind manner.
Dr. Greis saved my active life. I will always be grateful to him.
Assuming that most of the U's orthopods are at an equally high level, I am psyched to have Dr. Greis since he's clearly good at what he does, is an athlete himself and understands the level of performance that his athletic patients have come to expect and presumably does the work that will keep them there, is professional and a straightforward deliverer of diagnoses and outcomes yet is genuinely concerned for patients' well-being. I have complete faith in him, tho hopefully I'll not be needing his services again!
Excelente Dr me explicó mis resultados me escucho contesto mis preguntas muy amable
Most amazing dr ever
The entire team working with Dr. Greis was excellent. Grace, the MA, was very friendly professional and helpful in rooming me. Kali, the athletic trainer, was also very professional and performed a great intake/initial evaluation. She also kept me well informed of clinic delays, so I knew what was going on when Dr. Greis was running a bit behind. The rad-techs were professional, though unfortunately they placed their ID magnet over my fibular head, somewhat occluding the PA flexion view of my knee. Dr. Greis performed a thorough and excellent exam of my knee and was very thoughtful and reassuring in his assessment and description of the typical healing timeline of my injury. Overall, the team was high functioning and professional. I left feeling very reassured and well taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Greis and his team to any of my friends or family. I wish all physician practices were this caring and attentive! Kudos to all.
Dr. Greis is awesome! Excellent at what he does and very personable. Highly recommend him.
He is an amazing MD and I would recommend him to family.
Very grateful to have such a professional physician. This is the 4th surgery with Dr. Greis. He has been able to correct the errors of others. Highly recommend him to anyone that asks.
Dr Greis is knowledgeable and always gives me options for my care. He doesn't automatically jump to a surgery option
I've seen Pat for two different shoulder injuries over the years and have been nothing but pleased with his knowledge, diagnosis and treatments. Highly recommended!
Thank you for understanding my concerns and allow me to explain where I would like to be as I work on my recovery.
Dr. Greis is extremely kind, thorough and knowledgeable! I left with complete confidence in his assessment and guidance for a full and strong recovery.
Dr. Gries is awesome!! he talks to you in a way that you can understand and not feel stupid. He has a fantastic bed side manor and treats each patient individually! I full heartedly reccomend sending anybody I know that has shoulder issues to him! We need more doctors in the world like Dr. Gries!!
Dr Greis is patient and kind. I never feel rushed in my appointments. Hali his Athletic Traniner is equally amazing!
Dr. Greis has been amazing from the surgery consult for my torn ACL, through surgery, and follow up. I feel that I received the best possible care I could get and don't hesitate to recommend Dr. Greis to anyone needing knee surgery. I am two weeks post surgery and feel I am well on my way to being able to enjoy all activities I was participating in prior to my injury.
My initial meeting with the doctor was a bit disappointing. He treated my condition in a cursory manner, foreseeing the possible treatments and outcomes very briefly. The second meeting went better with my conversation with the younger Asian physician first, followed by Dr. Greis with a more detailed, authoritative discussion.
Dr. Greis and Dr. Kali are a wonderful team. Dr. Greis was very kind and understanding. He offered solutions, empathy, humor, solutions. Like I said about Dr. Kali, Dr. Greis is phenomenal too. Please consider him for higher leadership and a raise. I would love to see them be a liason for the veterans needing care at the U of U. They are both special, and it needs to be recognized. More especially in this day and age. Thank you. I have been nervous about this whole operation, and after leaving their office, I feel I'm in good hands. Thank you.
Dr. Greis was amazing. My visits with him were short, concise, and to the point. His explanations and answers to my questions were clear and easy to understand. Though I feared the surgery, Dr. Greis helped me decide to go forward with the procedure with confidence. Thank you, Dr. Greis, for successfully performing this procedure. I can now look forward to getting back to the active lifestyle that I love.
Salty. Great. Top notch.
Dr Greis is amazing! He is kind, patient, he listens, he doesn't rush you. He explained my upcoming surgery in easy terms! I trust him completely and am happy he's my surgeon!
Excellent. I'm in good hands here and have complete faith.
As I have already said above. I've always had a good experience. It means a lot to me. When I am listened to and my feelings are validated.
My surgery was successful and I attribute that to Dr. Greis and his entire team.
He's caring, concerned and dedicated to his patients. Great bedside manner!!
Dr. Greis always listens to me and my concerns. He has done two shoulder surgeries on me and they are both doing great. I highly recommend Dr. Greis he's the BEST!
Great communicator and outstanding interpersonal skills. Competent and very professional. Outstanding overall experience
Very awesome if I had another surgery I'll alwsy choose doc Greis thank you but hope this is it lol
Dr. Greis was superb. He was personable and frank about the surgery expectations. The surgery went swimmingly well'both of my knees now, great outcome.
Good Doctor
My pre-op nurse, Diane; Kali the athletic trainer; Dr Orgain, my anesthesiologist; Kim, my OR nurse; Taylor & Deja in Recovery; Erica, the aide, and of course, Dr Greis. The entire team was extraordinary!
Excellent. I felt like he took time to listen to and understand my concerns. I did not feel rushed which I really appreciated
Takes time to listen and cares about the patient.
I couldn't have had a better surgeon. I feel great!
My experience with dr Greis was a very good one.I am very satisfied with him and his team. The care I received was great.
Excellent care
have no issues with the care, easy going made me feel relaxed about the situation
Even though I can tell Dr Greis has extensive experience with my type of shoulder problem and has probably explained the same thing a thousand times, he explained it to me patiently in a simple and detailed way. I appreciated his empathy and understanding that he can give competent care on a very high level but still explain it to patients that don't have any prior knowledge on a simple level.
Dr. Greis is the greatest. He takes his time to explain what he is going to do. He even draws pictures to help make things clear and he is a very good artist. I was so impressed. His manor is so relaxed and comforting. He made me feel very comfortable. I feel so comfortable having him do my surgery.
Dr Greis explained my conditioned so I understood. He listened and answered my questions and the staff was very attentive to my needs. And the X-ray techn
Very knowledgeable and has a comforting manner. I felt secure in his care.
E I am amazing job with the surgery! He and his colleague were able to surpass my expectations and repair my own hamstring. He listens and cares.
Prompt and efficient care with clear thoughts and follow-up plans.
Great Doc
I have had over 20 orthopedic surgeries since 1992 and all have helped improve quality of life for me. I saw Dr. Greis for my right shoulder over a year ago. I never feel pushed towards surgery. Treatment options are always discussed and I know what to expect.
My opinion of Patrick Greis He is the best surgeon the university of utah
Dr Greiss is obviously experienced and knowledgeable; maybe too much so. His treatment seems routine and like he is uninterested in the specifics of my case. I'm confident he is providing qualified treatment, but he isn't good at communicating his plans or rationale for decisions. He also has little to no concern for my concerns. Every comment or question I've had seems to be met with an attitude of, "that's just the way it is".
Was overall a good experience.
I have absolute confidence in Dr. Greis. He was the first doctor to really listen to me and address the issues I had. After 3 previous surgeries that were poorly executed by another physician, he was the only one that resolved the issues such that I was able to return to all my athletic activities and regain my quality of life. I can't tell you how much trust and appreciation I have for his skills and attention to his practice. I will sing his praises and shout it from the roof tops so everyone knows 'He's the Man!'
Dr. Greis was easy to talk to and explained things well. I had every confidence in him with my surgery and recovery.
Dr. Greis has performed surgery on both my shoulders for a torn rotator cuff. Both surgeries turned out wonderfully I am able to do all things I love to do. Thank You!
He is very personable and professional. He has worked on my shoulder last year and am very pleased with his work. I feel very confident in him he is very much appreciated
Dr. Greis is a great doctor. I highly recommend him! He takes the time to answer all questions.
Dr. Greis was professional and yet congenial - he was human and respected my time.
Dr. Greis has a very pleasant bedside manner. He took a very traumatic experience and helped me make the best of it. He was awesome.
Dr Griess did well enough at the actual surgery part. One star for that... but the information going in to the surgery was lacking. Info and treatment post surgery was inconsistent at best. I had questions about numbness and abnormal bruising resulting in concerns about blood clots. I called the MA as instructed, multiple times. I never received a call back. When I followed up in person, my questions were blown off like they weren't important and I was told, "I was out of the office, your questions must have gotten lost in my inbox". When I asked about severe pain related to the surgery, but not on my knee, Dr Greiss offered no explanation or advice, but just said, "that will go away in time." He was totally unsympathetic to anything not directly related to my knee. He was also unsympathetic to my concerns and questions about my treatment plan pre-surgery. Cost disclosure was a joke throughout the process. Typical american segmented "sick care" opposed to health care.
Doctor Greis is a great doctor. He is very professional and kind.He answers all questions very clearly. I highly recommend him.
Excellent experience. Dr Greis took the time to explain, educate, and answer all questions regarding my ACL surgery both pre and postop. He even took time to draw a diagram for visual reference. Very kind and compassionate. Cant say enough good. Ty Dr. Greis!!!
Hes the man.
Dr. Greis was very professional, thorough, and pleasant. I'm very happy that he is my doctor.
complete satisfaction.
I have been in pain for 15 months. The previous surgeon kept saying it would go away. Dr Greis listened and day 2, the pain is gone!
He explained everything to me both before and after the surgery, has done an excellent job, I feel lucky to have been able to have him as my doctor.
I am very glad that I had this procedure done through Dr Greis
He made me feel very confident and secure in my decisions with his recommendations
I love DR. Greis. It is hard to find a Dr. That will actually listen to what I had to say and then follows through with my concerns. I know I can trust him what he thinks is best for me.
Very clear and very straightforward. Was able to fit me in for surgery for the next day.
See previous comments.
Awesome we are so happy with the results
He wasn't pushing any agenda but simply wanted to do what was best for me. It was a terrific experience
I have seen Dr. Greis for both my shoulder surgeries and I couldn't have asked for better care. He is the best at what he does.
Excelente mdico amable muy satisfecha por la ciruga
WHAT A FANTASTIC SURGEON AND HUMAN BEING! I WON THE LOTTERY WITH HIM!!
Best experience! So grateful I could be seen and helped so quickly!
Excellent Doctor!
Referred me to another Dr. Joyce who will operate on me in just a week. Great services.
Got a clear understanding of how my shoulder works, and what I should and shouldn't do.
He gave me options and detailed information to make the best choice. I am very happy with the care I received and my ongoing team of Physical therapists.
Great guy.
Very good
Dr. Greis has worked on both my shoulders, easy surgery, post was good with some PT, got rid of the pain and got my range of motion back, so can't complain one bit
Hes wonderful.
Dr Gregs was very kind and gentle. He is a great dr and I was Impressed with him when he explained what was going on when it came to my health. I loved his whole staff and so appreciated they help and kindness.
Love Doctor Greis he is the best.
Outstanding surgeon
Very through and profy
Dr. Greis did my shoulder surgery 5 years ago and I am now having my other should done. I completely trust him and the staff for another positive outcome.
Dr Greis took the time to explain the course of treatment/what I could expect/ how to prepare for surgery. I appreciate his patience with my questions.
He is an excellent surgent and a very caring surgeon
Dr. Freis is operating on my right shoulder this coming Monday and after that heals he will be replacing my left shoulder. You could say I am leaving both hands and arms in his care and I am grateful for him!!
Dr. Greis was excellent, I felt like the whole experience was positive.
I will be telling everyone just how amazing this orthopedic clinic took care of me. I want absolutely everyone I know to receive this level of care if they should ever find themselves in a unfortunate situation like I did
My appreciation for the timely response.
Dr. Greis was great. I look forward to him completing my knee surgery
I had a good experience, Dr examined my other knee that has been problematic since my fall and included it in my PT therapy
Dr and PA we're both excellent as well as X-ray staff
On a side note.... I appreciated the get well card mailed to me and signed by the surgical team staff prior to my post visit with my doctor.
I felt like I mattered and the doctor wants to do everything to help with my pain. The doctor was straightforward about the expecting outcomes after the surgery. He assured me that this is going to be the best option at that moment.
Dr Greis is fantastic, kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. We are so lucky to have him!!!!
Dr Greis was straightforward explained everything
Lack of clarity during visit about timing for return to work and schedule for rehab
Exceptional treatment.
Made sure all my questions and concerns were addressed, took me seriously.
I would and have recommended Dr. Monson to my friends :-))
Very happy
Poor communication with attending physician no explanation of the contra-indications of a cortisone shot how much was given how long it would last, if there were any alternatives.Called it magic juice and the analogy to the osto arthritis as being like a tire that has just ran out of thread was pushing the limits of being condesending.Doc seem to care more about the 10 norco I was prescribed for pain than anything else?I'm allergic to all NSAIDS and that seemed to be my problem.So over all in the future I will look to Intermountain Health care as an alternative.
I appreciated the Dr. Going over the MRI with me. That didn't happen at the previous clinic.
Again I will recommend this whole office to everyone.
Overall there was a lack of explanation for my pain. Which is a common issue for me. Doctor nor anyone else can give an adequate reason for my severe pain, and this only makes subsequent statements more vague. I just didn't find a realistic prognosis for my pain, nor an understanding of what is causing it.
I feel confident in Dr Greis's diagnosis, explanation and recommendations for treatment. He is also easy to talk with and provided thoughtful answers to my questions.
I feel that this team is actively engaged in helping me live my life to the fullest. Although my condition has made me adjust my physical goals to match, which is disappointing but realistic, my providers have helped in steering me towards new ones. It's taken me a while to wrap my head around my limitations which I did not want to accept. My team has supported me through this by being compassionate, smart, and realistic. They've earned my trust and respect and I'm really grateful to them.
Dr. Gries did my right rotator cuff 17 years ago and also did the right rotator cuff this time as active as I am and age I feel like 17 years was great.
This is a great department. Great staff great care.
Dr Greis is excellent. Highly recommend
Everything went great !
The shoulder doctor was so helpful and got back to me but the spine doctor I just wasn't happy with the fact that I am still waiting for my referral to go through and how long it took me to go see him
I was so nervous that my provider wasn't going to listen to me and what I wanted for my surgery, but I never even had to try. It was the first thing he asked me: "Do you have thoughts about how you would like your surgery to go?" I was thrilled! He recognized that I had experiences and expertise that would help me in my decision-making. He didn't make it so I had to work to advocate for myself. He advocated for me with me. It was so awesome.
He told me I am doing really well with my recovery and to keep up the good work with my knee. Very grateful to this department!
Dr. Greis is amazing. Highly, highly recommend him. He's fantastic in pre-operative meetings and post-operation. He's a fantastic surgeon from my experience. I really appreciate him, what he does, and how he does his work.
Loved Dr. Greis. Very thankful for his care
Dr Greic was fantastic - there were two doctors that came in - one that noted the information who was very kind to work with - the other was terrible, he was rude, didn't want to listen to or answer my questions. Down played my pain.
I was pleased by information on the upcomung procedures
Dr. Greis was great and very attentive. Answered all my questions he is the best
Dr Greis, DT Turtle was outstanding. I had no worry about anything
Awesome experience
Good
Dr. Greis was great. He showed me the x-rays explained what was going on told me my options.
Dr Gries provided a great deal of information for my shoulder and knees. All of the details were very important for now and future decision making for me.
Excellent
Excellent service
Very engaged with me and my progress and future plan of treatment
They were very informative and pleasant
although the risk was low, I don't recall being warned about the risk of getting an infection from my surgery, so it was quite the shock to me.
Dr. Greis took great care in answering my questions about surgery and recovery. He was patient and did not make me feel rushed.Kali Hartzold has also been wonderful. She's responded to all of my questions and calls and helped put me at ease.
everyone is so professional at the U of U
Dr Greis is always awesome.
All of my questions were answered and my options explained so I was able to make an informed decision
the resident and doc were great!

My fired is a patient of Dr. Greis and she referred me to him, I'm very happy with the outcome.
couldnt be better
Reviewed and explained both MRI and X-ray showing the problem and informing what was next.
as with every single individual I've had the pleasure of working with at the U of U medical center and clinics.
Dr. Greis was very clear in explaining my injury, answering my questions and providing thoughtful treatment instructions. He was also very friendly and courteous. I would recommend him to others.
Dr Greis is always willing to tell me what my options are and what will help me the most. He tells it to me straight he has done my surgeries for my shoulders. He is great at what he does.
Dr. Greis is one of the best doctors I have ever had.
Dr. Greis was excellent at addressing my concerns and answering all of my questions.
I am very pleased with this place
I have been going to this hospital for years for myself and family members and like the service extremely well. They care and that is what it is all about.
