Dr. Greller
I personally know you are an extremely good surgeon. You care about the whole person. That is a great quality in a doctor. Your P.T. department proves that. Peter’s the best. My going from the hospital after my knee replacement to them was the best thing I did. I’d do it again. No regrets! I am so grateful to you and your staff.
God Bless You All,

Dear Dr. Greller,
I forgot to say thank you for doing my hand surgery (left hand) as well as my other hand surgery (right hand) 5 years ago. You also made a great decision NOT to operate when I had the double fracture of my humerus several years ago.
You are such a talented and compassionate orthopedic surgeon with a wonderful sense of humor. Thank you so much for the excellent care you’ve given me.
