Over the years my experiences with Roy Greenberg were pretty bad. I'm glad he retired...should have retired 30+ years ago. I was a new mom with a very sick child, shy, and didn't know how to speak up for myself. So, I figured my 9:00am appt was stalled till 10:00, because I saw Greenberg coming in the front door with a specialty coffee. I thought he was just running late. When I saw him come back from lunch at 1:00pm I was pretty sure we had been overlooked. I'm pretty sure they would have closed up shop for the night and locked me and my child inside had I not finally spoken up and asked why we had not yet been seen by the good doctor. Finally got in, no apologies and nothing but attitude and anger at me because they had made a mistake. Folsom is lucky to have such a neurotic and angry "doctor" far and away from patients. Hopefully, he's publishing now...or the alternative. read more

My Husband went to Roy Greenberg for years. He retired afterwards the new doctor I can honestly say he killed my husband. He switched all his meds (high blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol l) Told him to come back in 6 months during these 6 months Cliff called numerous times they said We will see you at 6 month appointment. Cliff called to say he was losing a lot of weight did not matter to them At his 6 month check up they said stop taking the new meds immediately You might feel sick this weekend not being on them. Cliff is the father of 4 He was still working at Intel He was sick that weekend and gone that Monday. Since then I have talked to ICU nurses they said people often get hospitalized when there meds are changed. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Greenberg for nearly 30 yrs. The fact that I have stayed with him that long is a recommendation in itself. He has from time to time had a PA I wasn't to happy with, but I just ask to see Dr. Greenberg specifically (when I make the appointment) - it is never a problem - and everything is fine. I was sorry to learn recently that he is retiring. Good for him, he deserves it, but I'll need to find a new physician. Another physician is taking over his practice. I haven't decided if I will go with the new physician or look elsewhere. I'll probably try the new one once or twice and stay if I like them or go if I don't. P.S. When I posted this review I see that Yelp! say I am in Houston - I am not, I am in Folsom. read more

Dr. Greenberg and staff are WONDERFUL. Honestly, they truly care about their patients. Every time I have an issue they get me in right away. The PA's and nurses are kind and compassionate. They take time to listen to you. Dr. Greenberg is very knowledgeable. The office staff are personable and helpful. They have been spot on with all of my diagnoses. They call to check in on me after procedures. Overall I am grateful for this office and their staff and my family will keep coming here. I read the bad reviews and think they are circumstantial. People are more likely to complain than compliment - so here is my good review! Thank you Dr. Greenberg and staff for all you do. read more

Worst experience I ever had with a doctor. He was rude and offensive. He did not take my health as a priority. I left his office bewildered that he even has a license to practice medicine. Don't go there, save yourself the head ache. read more

I am a physician working in the hospital directly adjacent to Greenberg's office. I thought it would be convenient to keep work and medical visits close. So I chose this doctor because he was previously partnered to an Emergency Room physician with whom I work. I work in many hospitals, clinics, and communicated with numerous offices. They all function and practice to a standard. This office staff is rude and extremely inefficient. People can have a bad day, but they shouldn't take it out on the patients. They treated my elementary school kids like little adults. "oh we forgot to include these labs too" Stick my already horrified 5 year old with a needle again. It's no big deal to get all the blood sampling at once. Dr. Greenberg has a fundamental fund of knowledge, but his bedside manner is brash and often does not listen to the concerns posed by my family. Old school usually means good bedside manner , excellent medical acumen, and heavily reliant on good physical exam skills... not old thinking. You still have to keep up with medical advancements. We were told to return to his office to take a blood pressure rather than keep a log of blood pressures at home. When we arrived to his office, his nasty and snide nurse and front office staff questioned the validity of Greenberg's orders and decided to delay and frustrate the situation. I don't even get to see Dr. Greenberg often. His availability is very scarce, and even may take up to months to actually see the doctor. He has physician's assistance, but in every other quality office you get to see the physician. Why go to this office? Who is so exceptional that anyone has to wait that long. As I hand delivered the paperwork to transfer my family's records to our new physician's office, I was charged $17 to photocopy 20 pages. They wouldn't even fax the file to the other office, but wanted me to physically deliver it myself . They also rudely stated that they wouldn't transfer any documents unless direct payment was made immediately. $17 dollars is well worth the price to completely rid myself of ever engaging this tiresome staff and mediocre medical care. I was so anxious to leave this office that I asked if I could pay up front for the transfer of MY records. As inefficient as they are, the one dealing with transfers usually takes her lunch at 2 pm so I would have to come back another time. Figures! Spiteful and cumbersome to the end. I expect nothing more. I always thought that the Family practice environment was geared for family. Every member of the family saw the same physician. There was continuity of care, and there was a strong bond of trust and familiarity. This is what I grew up with, this is how my professors functioned, and this how my classmates in other states nurtured their practice. What i experienced was a geriatric practice with no patience for young children or any need for input or patient communication. I hope this helps.... buyer beware! read more

Old school practice that focuses on results and customer orientation.

Never there.....I was seen by Dr.Greenberg in person 2 times in last 5 years.... the physicians assistant who saw me the most was helpful,but he resigned. The staff there seem clueless except when asking for co- payment. Called after I injured myself and asked to schedule appointment and was told 3 weeks to see a "nurse"....was told by office staff that they will call if any cancel,never called... I was forced to go to ER since the injury i had made it extremely difficult to walk.... The office staff seem scattered and with Dr.Greenberg office charging myself and insurance for a doctors visit who you never see is just wrong. I saw the "nurse" who only took my blood pressure and listened to my heart for a back injury alarmed me ,never ordered xrays,no actual physical exam,and told me to go to physical therapy??? This was the confirmation that this medical practice is pathetic. Went for second opinion at another doctors office and was examined,treated for almost 1 hour due to my injury and was told by this DOCTOR that physical therapy was the last thing they would recommend due to the type and degree of injury. will not go back to Dr. Greenberg office,it a was a waste of time for really a very poor example of medical care. read more

Old School MD and quality practice. I have known Dr. Greenberg for over a decade. What I appreciate about him specifically is his ability to be frank and lay it on the line. No BS. Personally has called me... not the run around via his office staff... who BTW are very nice and have been with him for years. That should say a lot these days! read more

I had a Asian man that once I told him I think I had a std treated me terribly. Even asked for a prescription to help me with pain and he said do the test first and we'll go from there. Had his assistant lie and say I didn't have anything so he didn't have to treat me. Never coming back, clearly a doctor for the check and not to help people read more

Dr. Greenberg is everything I expect for my general practitioner and more. He efficiently and effectively went over my medical history with me as well as addressed my urgent issues. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent doctor. His head assistant Jeanine is highly efficient in carrying out doctors orders and easily gotten in touch with for follow up questions and needs. read more

As good as it gets for a private practice. I feel like a lot of people just go on here to complain about something. Anyway, the practice has 1 MD, 2 nurse practitioners and 1 physician assistant that works friday only. The office probably has 4 or 5 staff members managing ALL our needs as patients. Prescriptions are done next day if not same day and referrals are usually done within a timely manor if not same day. Appointments are same week if not same day if theres a cancellation. There is one cranky pants in the office although she'll still get done whatever it is you need, otherwise the staff is amazingly helpful and kind! Dr. Greenber is old school but still very efficient and knowledgeable. if you have a problem with that then maybe you'd be better off at Kiaser. As for me? I'll be with Dr. Greenberg until he retires. Good day all yelpers read more

Yes, Dr. Greenberg's front office staff (especially his scheduler) can be ditzy. But his blonde PA is HOT! HOT! HOT! So that makes up for one or two of the office slugs. I always received good to very good treatment from Dr. Greenberg. He is a teaching physician, so he is gone quite a bit. As for staying updated on medical advancements, I would say that a teaching Dr. would be up to speed on most everything medical. Dr. Greenberg always gave me thorough annual physicals and treated my occassional medical issues appropriately. He also took the time to explain various things to me -- which I found refreshing from an MD. read more

Everyone is friendly. They are fast, efficient. I am always able to get in quickly, and Dr. Greenberg is helpful and takes the time to listen and assist. The negative comments surprise me. I have been going to them for years and have never had an issue. read more

This was a good office until recently when I called to refill my prescription. I spoke to one receptionist and told her I needed refills on my prescriptions and that i was sorry to call last minute but my medicines were almost out. I asked if she could please put a rush on it. The call was made early morning on a Friday. Saturday when I went to my CVS there was nothing for me. Upset i called again Monday morning and left an angry message on their voicemail. I said that they need to refill ASAP and cannot believe this just fell through the cracks. I received a call on Tuesday letting me know that nothing will be refilled until i specifically state which medicine to replace. It became obvious that my angry message was the reason nothing was being done. Clearly blood pressure medicine is NOT something to stop taking. She knew I was out of medicine entirely and yet made things more difficult. I work sometimes 60 hours a week and don't have time to keep calling back. THIS IS TOTALLY THE WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!!! While I may get my pills refilled in the next day or two, I will most certainly be shopping for a new doctor where the receptionists don't withhold medicine just because I had a very appropriate angry message about not receiving my meds. DR GREENBERG SHOULD CHECK HIS RECEPTIONISTS AND SOMEONE SHOULD GET A BAD REVIEW IF NOT FIRED. read more

Just an awful experience overall. I have moved here from the bay area and have tried to establish a general physician with this office. I had received new health coverage and it is under Blue Cross of CA. The doctors office turned me down for an office visit because they thought I was covered under Covered.ca. The doctors office made me feel very unwanted and the doctor will not help me out with my current bulging disc situation. He is reluctant to give out pain meds. I am not one for them either but when you are at this point of pain and suffering, this was my only choice until I confirm a cortisone shot or surgery. Meanwhile while I was in the office in pain they said they do not take patients who are under Covered.ca. they said they did not TURN me down to see the doctor and they do not turn anyone down. However, I was going to have to pay liver $200 for one office visit for a follow up to get a refill on my very first Rx. This was through Dr. Fowler, I had first gone through Dr. Greeenberg. They had transferred me to Dr. Fowler and I have still not been helped and I have Blue Cross Health Insurance. Very old school, not many treatment plan options. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Good luck. read more

Completely unsympathetic to any kind of pain that patients might be going through. Examples that he has denied to call in pain medication for my family (comprised of medical professionals) has been three day migraines and kidney stones. read more
