Dr. Michael Greenberg is a Dermatologist dedicated to providing patients with state-of-the-art care at the Elk Grove office of Illinois Dermatology Institute. He specializes in medical dermatology, as well as treating patients with an emotional or spiritual component to their skin condition. He is a co-founder of Illinois Dermatology Institute.Dr. Greenberg embraces the benefits of a group practice, stating that "practicing in a group that is more family than corporate has added to my joy of being a physician." Dr. Greenberg graduated with his undergraduate degree in Biology from Case Western Reserve University and then received his medical degree from the University of Illinois in Chicago. His postgraduate training included a residency at the University of Illinois Hospital, where he served as Chief Resident during his final year.
Outside of his practice duties, Dr. Greenberg also hosts a bi-weekly radio show for medical professionals on XM160, where he shares his advanced knowledge and experience with other doctors. Throughout his career, Dr. Greenberg has had articles published discussing his goal of increasing the care and compassion providing by medical professionals today. "As far back as I can remember, I knew I was a physician. My choice to become a Dermatologist was one made from my heart, not my head. As a junior medical student, I was assigned to shadow a Dermatologist and, arriving at his office, felt a strong connection, even before seeing patients."
In this conversation, we go deep on spiritual topics and being present in the moment. I won't spoil any of the discussions here, by saying too much. If you have an interest in spiritual topics broadly speaking, this is the podcast for you. Michael is a profound thinker and articulates these ideas in a way that it’s consumable for anyone. Michael is also part of an improv group called The Waiting Room.
