“Every one of us is a leader may not be at a national level, but you can be a hero with your kids or with your friends or with my patients. Just by being there for them. ”
— MICHAEL GREENBERG
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 the 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."
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."
