Medical Expertise and Philosophy
Dr. Greenwald has practiced across multiple areas of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, including inpatient rehabilitation, spinal cord injury rehabilitation, musculoskeletal medicine, and electrodiagnostic medicine. Over the past decade, he has focused his clinical practice on electrodiagnostic medicine, which he considers both his professional focus and passion.
With a background in Osteopathic Medicine and Physiatry, he approaches patient care with an understanding that the body functions as an interconnected system and that identifying the underlying cause of symptoms is essential to accurate diagnosis and effective care.
Approach to Patient Care: Dr. Greenwald places a strong emphasis on accuracy, clear communication, and patient comfort. As an electrodiagnostic medicine physician, his goal is to provide precise, high-quality diagnostic studies that meaningfully guide the referring provider’s treatment decisions.
He strives to create a calm, respectful environment and takes time to explain procedures and findings in a clear and understandable way. Dr. Greenwald believes that informed patients feel more at ease and that every individual should be treated with the same care and attention he would offer a family member.
