Scott Greenbaum MD PC

Dr. Greenbaum is a practicing ophthalmologist, published author, US patent holder, and a worldwide authority on anesthesia for eye surgery, having authored Ocular Anesthesia (WB Saunders) and the chapter on Anesthesia for Eye Surgery in the definitive text, Duane's Clinical Ophthalmology. Dr Greenbaum specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, corneal (especially Dry Eye Disease) , and eyelid disease. He performs PRK- a safer form of LASIK, and is the inventor of PILP- Plug Informed Laser Punctoplasty- a technique which predicts the amount of tear duct drainage closure necessary to alleviate each patient's individual degree of eye dryness, then corrects it in an adjustable way. This technique was published in Acta Ophthalmologica. Dr Greenbaum has also published on Monovision Cataract Surgery in The Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, after presenting the technique as a paper at The American Academy of Ophthalmology Annual Meeting. Dr. Greenbaum has also done original research on the use of enzymes in cataract surgery and has published a paper on Hyaluronidase. Dr Greenbaum attended Boston University's 6 Year BA/MD Program and was elected to AOA, the medical student honor society. **IMPORTANT** Dr. Greenbaum's office does not accept credit cards, only cash and check for payment. However, you will not meet an army of white coated technicians in Dr Greenbaum's office- he does the vast majority of the examination himself.

Professional and courteous staff. Pleasant office atmosphere. Very thorough exam. Everything explained in a way I could easily understand.
Verified patient
The doctor is old school; cash for copayments and hand written prescriptions. However, he’s a great doctor who listened and then reviewed different options to solve my issue. I would recommend.
I saw Dr. Greenbaum for a large chalazion and requested it be drained, but he preferred a conservative approach with ointments and antibiotics across three visits, none of which helped. He’s a soft-spoken, polite doctor, but I didn’t feel my concerns were fully acknowledged. While he may have been highly regarded in the past, my experience suggested a lack of engagement and effectiveness. I left feeling more like a billing cycle than a patient being actively cared for. I will not be returning, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend him to others.

Dr. Greenbaum is a fantastic ophthalmologist and I would recommend him to my closest friends. I had an urgent, painful eye infection and booked him ASAP. He has a great bedside manner and gently walked me through his recommended treatment. The antibiotics he prescribed began to work almost instantaneously. All the while, his office remained very communicative and open to working with my hectic schedule. Thank you so much Dr. Greenbaum!
Verified patient
I had corneal erosion which is painful and I wanted to see someone right away. I appreciated being able to find a doctor that was very close to me and I could make a somewhat last-minute appointment. The doctor was very good. He knew exactly what to do for my problem and explained everything thoroughly. I will continue to use this ophthalmologist for my care.
Verified patient
Dr. Scott listens very well and takes time to explain the condition and management. His medical receptionist is cordial and friendly.

CASH OR CHECK ONLY. There’s an ATM in the diner downstairs if you forgot. Around 30-minute wait time. Dr. Greenbaum was helpful and knowledgeable.
Verified patient
Dr. Greenbaum was very thorough and patient. He explained everything and was sensitive to my concerns. I appreciated his kind demeanor and would recommend him to others.
Verified patient
Surprisingly, they don’t accept cards as a form of payment. Had to leave and find an ATM. Otherwise a solid and efficient appointment
Doctor Greenbaum is a doctor I would recommend to anyone in need of his services. He is efficient, a great communicator, and truly cares for his patients. He was very thorough with his explanations and reassured me with his care and attention. I will be continuing my follow ups with Doctor Greenbaum.
Verified patient
Wonderful, the doctor dedicates his time to each patient, very kind, dedicated and above all explains clearly so that you understand. I loved it. The staff is very friendly.
Definitely go back.
Verified patient
Recommend a visit if you are in need of eye care.
Verified patient
His prescription did not help, my eye got worse. Really scared me off. He could have prescribed pills instead of ointment. I had to see another doctor and get a new prescription. Now my eye is getting better
The office was like taking a step back in time. Only having a basic eye test machine that every Cohens has. Wouldn’t not be able to do any other advanced eye test. Also used an old iPhone SE to take a photo of my eye. When checking out, I was informed they only accept cash or CHECK! It’s 2024, who carries around a check book?
Office confirmed with me for my appointment but was closed the day and time of my appointment. I called about eight times, left a voicemail, and have received no response.
Verified patient
Great Doctor. I appreciate the thoroughness of the examination. Dr. Greenbaum took the time to explain everything in detail. He has a great bedside manner and listens attentively. I felt heard and understood. Dr. Greenbaum is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions. Highly recommend!”
