“My approach to care empowers patients to make informed decisions with confidence. I ensure patients and their families fully understand their condition and treatment options by providing detailed discussions on surgical procedures, potential risks, and expected outcomes.
“Building meaningful relationships with my patients is important to me. I take the time to understand their concerns, goals and personal stories, which allows me to provide care that aligns with their individual needs.”
Gearin Green, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon, ThedaCare Orthopedic Care
“Guiding patients through their care with clarity and transparency, I ensure they are fully informed about treatment options, why any procedures are necessary, the details of the procedure, and the expected recovery time.
“I enjoy being an orthopedic surgeon because it allows me to help people regain their mobility and return to doing the activities they love. I find it rewarding to assist patients in overcoming the debilitating effects of immobility to improve their quality of life.”
