What does Dr. Greene specialize in?
Dr. Greene is an orthopedic spine surgeon specializing in the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. His areas of special interest include minimally invasive spine surgery, cervical and lumbar artificial disc replacement, microdiscectomy, and spinal fusions. He has extensive experience treating degenerative spinal conditions, neck and back pain, disc herniation, scoliosis, and spinal stenosis. As the only orthopedically trained spine surgeon at Neuroscience Group, Dr. Greene complements the neurosurgical team with an orthopedic perspective on complex spine care.
What is Dr. Greene's approach to care?
Dr. Greene describes himself as a conservative surgeon whose philosophy is to treat every patient the way he would want his own family treated. He is grateful for the opportunity to use the latest advances in both nonsurgical and surgical treatment, and believes that surgery should be considered only when conservative options have been appropriately explored. Patients describe outcomes that reflect this approach — same-day discharge after procedures like microdiscectomy, resolution of long-standing sciatica pain, and a staff experience that is consistently described as friendly and professional. His North American Spine Society membership also reflects a commitment to staying current with the evidence base in spine care.
What conditions does Dr. Greene treat?
Dr. Greene treats a wide range of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine conditions, including degenerative disc disease, disc herniation, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, neck and back pain, and radiculopathy. He provides both nonsurgical management and surgical intervention depending on each patient's condition and goals, with a particular focus on minimally invasive approaches where appropriate. For patients who have been told they need surgery elsewhere, Dr. Greene is also available for second opinions on spine conditions.

His procedural expertise includes minimally invasive spine surgery, microdiscectomy, cervical and lumbar artificial disc replacement, spinal fusion, and surgical treatment of degenerative spine conditions, scoliosis, and spinal stenosis. He approaches each case with a conservative-first philosophy, ensuring that appropriate nonsurgical options have been considered before recommending any surgical intervention. His Texas Back Institute fellowship training gives him depth across the full spectrum of modern spine surgical techniques, including the latest minimally invasive approaches that reduce recovery time and surgical risk.
Where does Dr. Greene see patients?
Dr. Greene sees patients at five Neuroscience Group locations: Appleton OSP, Berlin, Green Bay Prevea, Neenah, and Sturgeon Bay.

Before your visit, you will be asked to complete registration and medical history paperwork.

What should I expect at my first appointment with Dr. Andrew Greene?
At your first appointment, Dr. Greene will conduct a thorough evaluation of your spine condition, reviewing your imaging, symptoms, functional limitations, and the full history of prior treatment including physical therapy, injections, and any prior surgery. He will discuss both nonsurgical and surgical options clearly before recommending a path forward, consistent with his philosophy of treating every patient as he would his own family. Patients consistently describe leaving appointments with Dr. Greene with a clear understanding of their diagnosis and a realistic picture of what treatment involves. For patients considering surgery, he will explain the procedure, expected recovery timeline, and what outcomes to anticipate in plain, accessible language. Neuroscience Group's Neenah clinic has on-site imaging and MRI capabilities, so additional diagnostic workup can often be coordinated in the same location if needed.


“Dr. Greene performed an open discectomy on me at L4/5. I was experiencing excruciating sciatica pain. My surgery was at 7:00am, by noon I was walking out to go home. Pain is gone, I feel like a new man. The staff was friendly and professional. I would recommend anyone suffering with sciatica.” -Tom
