He greeted me with "How are you, young lady." He always smiled,
and was always positive. He was a blessing and I will miss him.

It was April, 1991, when I passed out from acute arrhythmia. My own cardiologist, Dr. Philip Gelber, recommended that I undergo an EPS procedure at St. Francis in preparation to a pacemaker implant. My wife and I were both very nervous and very scared. We were introduced to Drs. Levine and Greenberg who proceeded to reassure us that all would be all right. He told my wife, as he pointed to our 3 young daughters, that if she wanted to see me walk them down the aisle I should get the implant. I was one of his first implant patients at St. Francis and I did indeed walk all 3 down the aisle many years later. RIP Dr. G., they don't come any better than you.

I was saddened to hear, unexpectedly, of Dr Greenberg's passing. I attended many of his informative lectures at The DeMatteis Building after my father had a defibrillator installed by Dr Hoch, (Dr Greenerg's colleague at St Francis Hopsital).
Dr Greenberg's medical explanations and advice to so many attendees were vivid and invaluable, he was a vast reservoir of medical information for hungry patients who needed his advice for their own health and survival... And now HE (Mr Greenberg) is gone.... How ironic... May God rest his soul. I myself and many will miss him and his medical knowledge...I am eternally grateful for his medical explanations.

I was saddened of hearing the passing of Dr Greenberg. My husband and I were lucky to have heard him at one of his many seminar's . So informative and what a great speaker . We learned many things at the seminar about defibrilators. His office visits were always warm and he was a very kind and funny Dr. At the same time. A very upbeat man . We are sorry for his loss .

Deeply saddened to just learn of Dr. Steven Greenberg's death. Dr. Greenberg was truly a doctor for the people! When one looks up the term "Bedside Manners" in the dictionary, Dr. Steven Greenberg's picture will be seen!

My Mom had many heart issues and knew Dr. Greenberg. He took care of her for many, many years. She would say that he had a great sense of humor and cared for his patients. When I read the Newsday article that he had passed, I was extremely sadden. I only met him just a few times but I could see the kind of doctor he was. Genuine and true. You must know that he touched peoples lives in ways you can't imagine. My Mom lived many, many years because of his caring and attentive ways and made each doctor visit that she had to do that much more easier knowing she was seeing him. The visits were like that because of who he was. The heavens have an angel up there. I know my Mom and him are chatting now. Peace to his family and you have my deepest condolences.

I met Dr.Greenberg at St.Francis Hospital in 2001, I brought my mom there because she was very sick with heart disease. Dr.Greenberg saved her life, I know she would not have had much longer to live without his care. My mom always called him her angel...and he truly was an angel on earth. Mom and I will miss him so very much. Our condolences to his family and friends.

Dr. Greenberg will be greatly missed. He always had the time to speak to both myself and my husband since June 2007, who also passed away this year. Prayers to his family.

I also was friends with Steve at Stony Brook and just loved his sense of humor and how smart he was! Then, years later, when visiting with my Mom at Saint Francis as she was recovering from by-pass surgery, I heard Steve's voice (now 20 years since the last time) behind the curtain at an adjoining patient's bedside. After he was off shift, we talked for a while over coffee - he hadn't changed a bit. Still the sweet, funny, brilliant guy he always was - cleaned up a bit and dressed better. RIP Steve!

Dr. Greenberg was an outstanding physician who really cared about his patients. Read his obit in Newsday. I wish I could buy him breakfast at his favorite diner.

Dr. Greenberg was a compassionate, caring man. So sorry to read of his much too early passing. He never failed to give my hubby a pat and a "goodbye boobalah!"

On January 20, 2005 Dr Steven Greenberg saved my husband's life. If it were not for his efforts I would not have him with me now. Please know that he will be missed, and we offer our condolences on his passing

Steve was my RA and one of my closest friends as an undergrad at Stony Brook, and he really helped mold me as a person. He and Alan and I spent countless hours together at Gray College, and I will miss him terribly.
