I was a patient of Dr. Grene's. He was a very good Dr. and took care of my eyes in a professional manner. He and I hit it off, since we share the same birthday. I will keep you all in my prayers. Bless you all.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this heart-breaking news. Dr. Greene had to bolt out of my very first appointment with him. His very first daughter was being born! (in early '90's) I am still a Greene Vision patient. May he finally rest in peace. Prayers of comfort to his family and friends.

He was such a leading-edge pioneer to bring LASIK vision to Wichita. He performed my LASIK vision over 20 yrs ago and I still have perfect vision, he gave me a new lease on life. My heart felt prayers for the family.
