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.

Dr. Greis was very good at explaining the X-rays and the MRI images. He allowed me to make the decision to have surgery or not. My only complaint is that the scheduler failed to contact me after three business days.
