Greg Greenberg with his wife & daughter
His clinic in the Town Creek Shopping Center at Abrams and Royal has gone through two expansions in that time, to better serve his patients and meet the needs of his growing practice.
Over the years, Greenberg has watched many of his patients grow up, leave for school, and return to raise their own families in Lake Highlands.
"I have yet to treat the children of my former patients," he says. "But I know that day isn't far away. I have truly enjoyed watching the children of this community grow up."
This week, LH Today visits with Dr. Greenberg about his family, his practice and his decades spent caring for the residents of our community.
LHT: Tell us about your family.
Greenberg: My wife of 28 years is Lauri. Our daughter Rachel is 23, and our son Mitchell is 20. Both our children attend Tulane University, which is where Lauri and I met. They're helping us continue "The Green Wave" tradition! We also have 2 West Highland White Terriers, Maggie and Harry.
LHT: Following Tulane, where did you attend dental school?
Greenberg: I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the Baylor College of Dentistry here in Dallas. I received my Certificate in Orthodontics from The School of Dental and Oral Surgery at Columbia University in New York.
LHT: What other organizations are you currently involved in?
Greenberg: I am a member of the Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity and together with my family, we are members at the T Bar M Racquet Club.
LHT: When you're not treating patients, how do you like to spend your free time?
Greenberg: I enjoy most outdoor activities. Tennis, fishing and biking are some of my favorites.
LHT: What the most unusual, funniest or hardest job you've ever held?
Greenberg: I worked in a Bar-B-Que restaurant for several years and handled the “block.” That means I was the guy who cut all the meats. In high school, I was also an Assistant Manager of a fried chicken restaurant and had 2 ex-convicts working with me. I never asked them what they did to get thrown in prison, and I never told my parents that’s who my co-workers were!
LHT: What does your typical Saturday night look like?
Greenberg: Saturday nights usually find me out to dinner with my wife and friends. Saturday has always been our “date night." Now that both our children are at school (making us empty-nesters) we have a lot more time to ourselves, but Saturday night is still our night out.
LHT: Tell us something our readers might be surprised to learn about you.
Greenberg: I can make a great pecan pie, and I can smoke meats with the best of them - especially ribs!
LHT: What would you say you're most passionate about?
Greenberg: My work! I love the people I work with and feel that we're a very fun and cohesive team. It's great getting to know our patients - both teenagers and adults - because we work with them from anywhere from 12 to 24 months. We all try very hard to make the entire experience as pleasurable as it can be. Lake Highlands is a fantastic community, and we all love practicing here.
