Me and my family believe that Dr. Greer is an angel, an angel.

So yes, I would recommend him to all of my friends and my family if ever needed. And I speak very, very highly of him to all friends and family.

Dr. Greer was very calm, professional, and kind. He explained everything and made sure that I understood. You could tell he was a caring individual, even though I was kept waiting quite a bit. He called me as soon as he was free. He called me himself and he apologized profusely. I have no issues with things running late. They have happened to me before. And so that's fine as long as you acknowledge it. But I would definitely recommend this Dr. Greer to anyone. Thank you.

Dr Greer is a kind, compassionate doctor. Unfortunately, he was unable to provide Pipac procedure or give me assurance that going to another hospital to receive this clinical trial might help. Not his fault, I guess this is the way of clinical trials. I was just hoping that someone might say "yes this is a procedure for you." Do I just wait for chemo to stop working ? I wish the MGH team might collaborate more and come up with ideas for us terminal appendiceal patients. I don't want to just wait to die.

Dr Greer is a very knowledgeable and caring doctor. I was in awe over his interest in my case, his experience with my diagnosis and his credentials are exceptional and because of the rare cancer that i have, I feel 100% confident that Dr Greer is the best surgeon for my situation . Dr Greer showed compassion, he spoke to me in a manner that truly showed he was interested in my case, and kept me upbeat with his humor by carefully explaining exactly how he was going to proceed with my surgery- drawing diagrams and presenting my 3D images from CT scan. He went the "extra mile" to fit me into his schedule quickly-within a week-which was huge!! [redacted] Im scared out of my mind to be facing my diagnosis and my surgery but i have peace of mind that i am in the best hands at MGH and i couldn't be luckier to have Dr Greer as my doctor, I am confident that I am going to the best place for my situation. Thank you Dr Greer for taking on my case in a prompt manner, YOU ROCK!!
