Greenberg Ronald, MD

Trying to find a family doctor in Vancouver is like trying to find affordable housing – nearly impossible. So I was thrilled when several years ago, I found Dr. Greenberg through a recommendation. I never felt a rapport with him, but he prescribed my birth control pills without argument (he did keep up to date on paps), and was willing to make referrals to specialists when I needed to see one for various things over the years. However, recently (January 13, 2014, to be precise), I decided to dump him as my doctor, despite the chances of finding another GP were slim.
On January 13^th, I went to him for three things: a renewal of my birth control, a long overdue pap, and a requisition for STI testing. First we had an argument about STI testing (he didn’t quite understand why one might want to regularly get tested), and then he said, in response my request to have another requisition to get tested in a few months should I need it if I change partners, «Maybe you just shouldn’t change partners.»
I kid you not. HE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD NOT CHANGE PARTNERS.
As a person who has sex with other people ~*gasp*~ and who takes my sexual health seriously, I decided that this was not the doctor for me. So I told him that I was no longer comfortable with seeing him, and that I no longer wanted to get a pap (seriously, I wasn’t going to let him touch me – ugh). He had already given me a prescription for my birth control, so I took it and left.
In conclusion: if you don’t have sex, Dr. Greenberg is perfectly fine for you. But if you’re a sexual human being, avoid him.

I had the opposite experience of the other reviewer. He has been my family doctor for years and is always very thorough and willing to give all of our family members the time they need to get whatever medical care is required.

One of those Drs. who won’t even look at you to prescribe something based on your complaints only, in a 3-​min visit.
The good thing about it is that he is always available, so it’s easy if you need a referral.
Good Dr. if you are healthy. Look elsewhere if you really need a serious physician.
