Professional profile
About Dr. Greene
Thomas Greene, MD, spent the first decade of his career teaching aesthetic surgery and became convinced that a young specialty needed a common language as much as it needed new techniques. He joined AREOLA to build education around judgment, communication and multidisciplinary responsibility rather than procedural volume alone.
Dr. Greene maintains a limited primary-replacement practice in Philadelphia and Dallas while directing fellowship, visiting-physician and continuing-education programs. He often observes consultations with trainees and studies the moments when an explanation either helps or confuses a patient.
