“If you’re thinking about getting pregnant, do not mention ANYTHING about midwives. I’m not even pregnant. Just wanted to hear the pros/cons of both for educational purposes. She became so cold towards me. I even had a follow up appointment. The cold behavior continued. She even mentioned the midwife then so I knew it was still on her mind. Very disappointing. But life goes on! Just caught me by surprise cause I’ve always had great things to say about doc. But hey, everyone has off days so showing some empathy. But wouldn’t want anyone else to experience ”

Alan Greenberg, MD, is a board-certified cosmetic surgeon serving patients at North Texas Cosmetic Surgery in Frisco, Texas.
A native of Texas, Dr. Greenberg completed his undergraduate education at The University of Texas at Austin. He then completed his medical degree at UTHealth Houston in Texas and his post-graduate residency, where he cared for patients in the distinguished medical center.
A combination of formal education, specialized cosmetic surgery training, and hands-on experience enable Dr. Greenberg to administer tumescent (local) anesthesia, in-office liposuction skillfully, abdominoplasty (tummy tucks), and awake breast augmentation.
D Magazine has repeatedly recognized Dr. Greenberg as a "Best Doctor," and women in Frisco, Plano, and Dallas earn him "Patient's Choice" awards for his exceptional patient care and rapport. Dr. Greenberg has dedicated his life to the well-being of women but has also treated many men unable to rid themselves of those unwanted inches or embarrassing excessive breast tissue.
Dr. Greenberg believes in offering women safe, affordable, and minimally invasive choices in cosmetic surgery. Today's advanced procedures allow him to perform in-office cosmetic surgery like mommy makeovers with tumescent rather than general anesthesia. Benefits of this "awake" alternative to being "knocked out" include decreased cost, operative and post-operative risks, and faster recovery.
In his free time, Dr. Greenberg enjoys traveling, staying fit, and cheering on his children in team sports when not caring for patients.
You want an experienced cosmetic surgeon who can deliver lasting, natural results, and that's Dr. Greenberg. Schedule a consultation today to learn more.
