Overview
I have the privilege of being a general surgery specialist in my community. I enjoy being a part of my patients' lives as we work together to treat a particular surgical condition or problem. It is so rewarding to engage in problem-solving that makes someone's life better. That's what motivates me each day. Endocrine surgery lends itself to a personal problem-solving approach. Surgical diseases of the thyroid and parathyroid glands form the core of my practice. As a general surgeon, I enjoy fixing hernias, removing gallbladders, and performing gastrointestinal procedures. Having a broad scope of practice allows me to see a diverse range of patients and this is very satisfying for me.

Davis Ambulatory Surgical Center
The majority of my practice focuses on abdominal wall surgery and the repair of ventral, incisional, and inguinal (groin) hernias. I chose to specialize in minimally invasive surgery because I saw the incredible benefits that these procedures provide for patients. By performing complex surgeries using either laparoscopic or robotic instruments, I am able to get patients back to their normal daily activities much faster and with significantly less pain. Whether I am repairing a hernia, performing surgery for weight loss, or helping to treat reflux, I will always try to offer a minimally invasive approach first and foremost. When I get the chance to meet you in the clinic we will discuss all of the possible treatment options for your condition and we will work as a team to pick which is the best choice for you. I feel incredibly fortunate to practice at Duke Health where we have incredible resources to take care of you no matter what problem you may have. I look forward to working with you and caring for you and your family. Dr. Greenberg is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hernia.

Davis Ambulatory Surgical Center
I specialize in treating patients with complex abdominal wall hernias and foregut conditions, such as acid reflux, hiatal hernias, and swallowing disorders. I am passionate about helping people return to the activities and quality of life they enjoy. By using minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic and robotic surgery, I am able to repair complex problems in a way that often leads to less pain and a quicker recovery. I understand that surgery can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. I believe in listening closely to each patient’s goals and working together to create a treatment plan that fits their needs and values. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and staying active on the golf course. I look forward to caring for you and your family.
