    I had the pleasure of being seen by Dr. Greenstein. Dr. Greenstein was my second opinion for cataract surgery. The office was highly professional and thorough. After meeting with Dr. Greenstein and hearing what he had to say i was completely comfortable and at ease. I feel very fortunate to know that he will be performing my surgery.

    Superb doctor. I have been seeing Dr. Greenstein for the past 11 years, initially for an eye infection which brought me to MEEI. Feel very fortunate to have him as my ophthalmologist and would highly recommended him to family members and friends.

    Dr. Greenstein is as good as they come: he takes enough time, listens carefully, engages you in planning your care, and always adds a bit of conversation. Technicians and support staff are all helpful and friendly. Eye & Ear is the best.
