I have a broken arm and it was fixed by my doctor but the plate that was put in my arm broke in half, and I'm sure that something like that is not supposed to happen. Should I get a second opinion with Dr. Greene?

Absolutely. It's most likely likely not your previous Dr's fault, though. Hardware failures happen. I myself was in a bad crash 3 years ago and have a shattered ankle that's still not healed. I've broken THREE plates so far. Dr. Greene and I graduated from medical school together and he was my guy since the beginning and will be until it's done. I'm formerly a trauma surgeon at the Lake and know his work very well before my crash. I'd recommend him to any friends or family without reservation. He's a STELLAR surgeon and a great guy to boot!

Thank you!! I'm most likely going to make an appointment with him still just to be sure and to make sure everything else is okay with my arm. Thanks again!!

I echo everything Stewart Cayton said above. Dr. Greene just replaced my hip which was bone on bone from osteoarthritis. I did extensive research prior to my surgery and every road ultimately led me back to him. I feel that I hit the surgical lottery! I really believe he's best-in-class. I, too, recommend him without reservation.
