post with our physician Dr. Scott Green.
Dr. Green is the Chief of Hand Surgery at the California Pacific Medical Center's Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. He is an expert in hand and upper extremity surgery and has conducted research on wrist biomechanics, scaphoid and distal radius fractures, and flexor tendon injuries.�Dr. Green completed his undergraduate studies at Stanford University before attending medical school at UCSF, where he completed his surgical internship and orthopedic surgery residency. He further specialized in hand, wrist, and elbow surgery during a fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery, where he also gained experience working with professional athletes.
A few words from Dr. Green on his experience as a physician at Cal Pac Ortho:
“I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, even since I was a little kid. I am a sixth generation doctor, so I grew up in the world of medicine. In my opinion, it is a privilege to be a doctor and help people when they are injured or in pain. What drew me to orthopaedics specifically were the tools and variety of procedures that allow me to fix people when they are injured or in pain. I enjoy the constant challenge that comes with being an orthopaedic surgeon.
I have been with California Pacific Orthopaedics since 2010, where I had the honor of working alongside my dad, best friend, and master-surgeon, Dr. Bill Green. Something I love about Cal Pac Ortho is the culture of excellence amongst our doctors and how high the standards are. I can confidently refer my own family members to any of the physicians here. I love spending time with my colleagues outside of the office because they are not only excellent doctors, but also wonderful people.�Outside of work, my favorite thing to do is be with my three amazing children and lovely wife. I also enjoy cooking, running, fishing, golf, tennis and playing with my two dogs”.
Thank you, Dr. Green!
