Condolences
OH MY GOD, I just heard about Dr Greenberg’s passing and I am so sad and in disbelief. My heart is broken. He’s been my doctor for 22 years.When I was first diagnosed I was frightened and the doctor attending to me while Dr Greenberg was away made me feel like I was not going to get better. A few days later, while I was laying in the hospital bed at Mount Sinai, in walked Dr Greenberg. He did not know me from a whole in the ground and yet he gently took my hand and told me that everything was going to be ok and that I would get better and I believed him. From that day forward Dr Greenberg was a very important part of my life. He was brilliant, kind and compassionate and I will greatly miss him. I cant’ imagine never seeing him again. Rest in Peace Dr. Greenberg.
I was saddened to hear of Dr. Greenberg’s passing. I found out from Anna, his trusted assistant. A caring man, quiet, perhaps reserved, very knowledgeable, irreplaceable. He had been my G.I. for well over 20 years. There were times I lost faith in getting better from my Crohn’s, but thanks to DR Greenberg we persevered & victorious! 2 surgeries later & with the Remicade, I could finally live life to the fullest. Thank you Dr. Greenberg! You will never be forgotten. My condolences to the family & you have much to be proud of.
Dr. Greenberg put his hand on my shoulder and said, “Don’t worry we will get to the bottom of this”. And he did, after many years of experiencing pain and being told I needed a psychologist, I had finally come to the right person. I didn’t need his care as much in these last years so I only found out today of his passing. My condolences to the family, this is very sad news.
It’s only today that I heard of Dr Greenberg’s passing. Am amazing gastroenterologist who was always so professional and helpful. He will be missed. My condolences to his family and to Anna.
It’s is with great sadness that I only heard of Doctor Greenberg’s passing today. I am now living in Montreal and was told by another gastroenterologist. I have to admit I broke down crying and Ironically it was 1 year ago today that he saved my life. I will be forever greatful to Doctor Greenfield for his compassion, his knowledge and his patience. This man always went above and beyond. You will be missed terribly. Condolences to his family and friends.
My condolences to his family, friends and to Anna. I am very saddened to hear about Dr Greenberg’s passing. I just found out today through another specialist in mount siani and I was shocked and very sorry to hear that he passed away. He was a great wonderful knowledgable dr. I was a patient of dr Greenberg for almost 13 years and my brother too was a patient of his. Dr Greenberg was my miracle Dr, I was seen by so many specialist and all wanted me to do the surgery till I saw Dr Greenberg and I was in a very bad shape, I thought I couldn’t be well anymore no meds were working on me but he changed all my meds and I became well again and back to normal life. He really cared and had a lot of patience and always asked how I’m doing and show his concern when I wasn’t feeling well.
Thank you Dr Greenberg for all the help you gave me and you will be greatly missed. May you rest in peace.
I was fortunate to have Dr. Greenberg when I was sent from a regular hospital to Mount Sinai for a severe case of ulcerative colitis and I’m saddened to hear of his passing as I was making an appointment to see Him but only for an annual follow up. No problems! My UC had been treated very well and safely and this was 16 years ago as I was only a teenager and it had gotten amazingly better over the years and right now I’m 33. His treatment was though very strong to it but His maintenance of it was done very well and to this day I have never had another ‘flare up’ as they say and my colon looked ‘terrific’ after a couple of colonoscopies! Never too much treatment and precise and i think its almost healed completely with the use of only a couple of pills for it a day and with Chinese medicine right now. A big thank you to Him and God bless his soul in the new dimension of life.
I’m deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Dr. Greenberg, my condolences go out to his family, friends and Anna. I was one of his patients and he was the physician who was finally able to diagnose my Crohns and put me on a treatment plan that worked for me and wasn’t to aggressive. He got me back to feeling like how I use to feel and has probably saved me a lot of pain and suffering. Although my time in his care was short, his medical and life advice helped me to be where I am today and I find myself missing that advice. Thank you for all you did Dr. Greenberg for me and countless others and may you find comfort much like what you gave me in the afterlife.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Greenberg for about 10 years. He had a way about him than made you feel comfortable and safe and that you knew you were in the best hands possible. We absolutely were. I only saw him about once per year, and I remember my last conversation with him was asking him if he would ever retire… of course we all knew the answer, his passion was helping his patients and teaching… he could never give that up. My deepest condolences to his family and to Anna. He will be missed. Rest in piece.
My deepest condolences to his family and to Anna. DR. Green Berg was my doctor over the past 20 years , he was a brilliant man and treated his patients with much respect and dignity …. He would always go that extra mile to treat his patients. I’m certain that GOD has him by his side to care about others.
My deepest condolences to the friends and family of Dr. Greenberg. I was deeply saddened to hear the news of his passing, Dr. Greenberg was my doctor for over 20 years and he along with his assistant Anna were my saviours during some of the most challenging times of my life. When I left sick kids I was moved around before landing on Dr. Greenberg’s doorstep, I didn’t know it at the time but it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Many have written that he accepted complicated cases when others wouldn’t, I can attest to that as he accepted me as a patient and I will be forever in his debt for all that he has done for me. He was a kind and caring man, every time I met with him I could tell that he truly cared about my wellbeing and wanted me to get better, it comes as no surprise to hear that he was helping others to the end despite his own health challenges. He always thought outside the box and looked at new and innovative ways to help people, he wasn’t afraid to take a chance or try something new. He was a great man and physician who will be missed by anyone who knew him. May he rest in peace.
My heart felt sympathies go out to all of Dr Greenbergs family and friends. For over 20 years, since she was a teenager he has treated my daughter for her IBD. He was professional but always as interested in the patient rather than only the disease. As a nurse I know that is not always the case. He will be missed by many.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. Greenberg. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all his friends and his family. Dr. Greenberg was a wonderful person and an excellent doctor. He has always been very committed and very involved in his work and conscious of his patients and their well-being. He was valuable person for me. He was dedicated in his work and very competent doctor. I will never forget that his expertise and know -how allowed me to greatly improve my quality of life. He will not be forgotten. May his soul rests in peace.
Dr. Greenberg saved my life. He was a doctor like no other. His willingness to look for new solutions and to trust the instincts of his patients is rare and exceptional and led to amazing results. When I was at my worst he gave me hope. When I was at my best he continued to support me and in the end saw me through 16 years and two pregnancies. I was truly blessed to be his patient. I send my deepest condolences to his family, Anna, and his team at Mt. Sinai. This angel had returned to the heavens and we are richer having known him. Thank you, Sir. Rest in peace.
My deepest sympathy to family & friend! as you grieve the loss of a great physician he’ll be greatly missed. Have been a patient for the last 20 years it feels like of lost a great Doctor & friend.
Repose en paix
Dear friends and Family of Dr Greenberg,
My story, like many of yours, has to do with a very special Doctor who came into our lives when we needed him and his expertise the most.
In a very efficient thorough and thoughtful manner, he diagnosed what for many of us is an extremely emotional and physically debilitating condition,
and provided hope and a solution to what otherwise was a sure and eventfully dire outcome.
I became affected by Colitis in my early 30’s (20 years ago) and chose not to seek medical advise and thought I could figure it out naturally.
I suffered through 6 months of torment,denial and bleeding until a discussion with a high school friend, who had suffered with the same condition, recommended his specialist,Dr. Greenberg.
We met and Dr. Greenberg’s medical solution came as an answer from above as within one month of taking his prescribed products I was clear of all my bleeding and on the road to a healthy state once again.
I went for over a decade without any symptoms and then out of the blue at a time when I was under an incredible amount of stress and not paying attention to a healthy lifestyle,
Colitis came back with a vengeance.
I contacted Dr. Greenberg right away, we met and he prescribed the latest medication and said to start on Metamucil everyday.
Within 3 days, I was back to functioning normally without any bleeding and feeling 100% and I have maintained this state for 3 years now.
Last time we met, I remember thanking him for saving my life and letting me lead a normal life and he smiled knowingly that he made a huge difference in my life.
There are few times in life when you meet someone at a crossroads that has a great positive impact on you and I am honoured to say that Dr. Gordon Greenberg came into my life
at such a time when I needed him and his expertise the most, and for this I will be forever thankful.
Frank
What a loss to us all – I can’t believe Doctor Greenberg is gone. His equally kind and compassionate secretary, Anna, said: “He always accepted the challenge to look after complicated patients when no one else could.” I was one of those complicated patients and then after a decade or so under his care, I became one of those stable better-health-than-I-could-imagine patients. How I wish I could say thank you one last time, Dr Greenberg.
It is with great sadness that I learned today of Dr. Greenberg’s passing, during my infusion.
Dr. Greenberg has been my GI for more than ten years now, and I am forever in his debt… he gave me my life back.
My deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and to those of us that were lucky enough to have his healing.
Safe flight,
Soft landing,
See you on the other side!
Rest in peace!
My deepest sympathies to all that knew and loved Dr. Greenberg. I was a patient of his for several years. I never felt as cared for as I did by him. I had endless faith and trust in him, and valued his opinion. He will be truly missed.
Our condolences to Dr. Greenberg’s Family and Friends.
Dr. Gordon R. Greenberg – Not only was he a wonderful person, and an excellent, caring Gastroenterologist, he was a well-respected Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. In his research laboratory on the Medical Sciences Building’s sixth floor, he supervised and supported graduate students; did collaborative research with other research teams from across the country; wrote many research papers and was the Master of the radio-immunoassay which was instrumental in measuring the concentration of a sample’s gastric hormones. As his research technician for 10 years, I called his ability to make things work in our lab, “Greenberg Magic”. He was brilliant. Each lab day, he always had a clever thing to say to make everyone laugh. I am saddened that Dr. Greenberg has passed away. RIP GRG
Sincerely, Sherry Pokol-Daniel and Family
Our condolences go out to the Mount Sinai Hospital IBD Team, Gordon’s family & friends.
Dr. Greenberg was a dedicated leader, passionate physician and loyal friend. Your guidance and support thru the many years will never be forgotten, your mentorship to young gastroenterologist was inspiring and your leadership will guide the way for the future. You will be missed but always remembered. Rest in peace, Gord. Love from the University of Calgary, IBD Team
A great doctor, a great mind and a great heart. A kind and caring doctor, always made sure everything was okay and met his patient’s need. Will truly be missed, shocking still can’t believe you are gone Dr. Greenberg, feels like I just saw you yesterday. You will be missed and not forgotten. Rest in peace, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers !
I am truly devastated by the passing of my very dear doctor to whom I was referred over 20 years ago by Dr. Louis Cole who was retiring. Dr. Cole told me not to worry that he was handing me over to a brilliant doctor who will take very good care of me. Truer words were never spoken. Dr.Greenberg always made me feel like things would be okay. He really cared about his patients. He will be missed by all whose lives he touched. He was a remarkable human being. Very deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and Anna.
My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Greenberg and Anna. Dr. Greenberg, was truly my saviour in treating my ulcerative colitis. I could of not made it through this disease without him or Anna. They both took the time to look after what ever my concerns were. I was blessed that Dr. Greenberg was well advanced in medicine, that he was able to control it my disease. With out him as my doctor I don’t know where I would be at this time. Thank you for always being there for me not only as my doctor but a true friend.
My sincere condolences to the family of Dr Greenberg, Anna and Sue. I have been with Dr. Greenberg for almost thirty years and was heart broken to hear of his passing. He gave me my quality of life back and always had his patients best interest at heart. He wanted his patients to be well and live a “normal life”. I owe so much to him. I will miss him dearly, he truly was my hero. Rest in peace Dr. Greenberg.
Thank you to the late great Dr. Gordon Greenberg and Anna. You guys have made my quality of life better and I will never forget the treatment I have received. I am one of the lucky ones to have met and be cared for by this special and remarkable human being. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul. You will be missed dearly. I love you brother, rest in peace.
Please accept my most sincerest and deepest condolences on the loss of Dr. Greenberg. He was a great doctor with superb bedside manners! He will be sorely missed!
It was with great sadness I learned of the passing of Dr. Greenberg. I can remember the moment I met him and what a blessing that I was brought under his care. Like many others who have written here, I can say was instrumental in saving my life – and for that he will always live in a very special place in my heart. My condolences to Dr. Greenbergs friends, family and colleagues.
I was very sad to learn of the death of Dr. Greenberg. He was truly a wonderful Doctor. He was always so compassionate and helpful to all his patients. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Anna and to his family and friends. He will be missed by so many. Rest in peace.
I was diagnosed with severe Crohn’s/colitis 27 years ago by Dr Greenberg. At one point I was 80 or so pounds and losing a pound a day. Things weren’t looking good. He treated me for a few years and restored me to 100% perfect health. Not only was I restored to perfect health, I have been medication free for at least 20 years. Dr. Greenberg saved my life. A life that has allowed me to have a wonderful family and career. I have a few heroes in my life as most of us do. But Dr. Greenberg is right at the top for me.
He had a great bedside manner. He had this very comforting way about him and if you’ve ever had Crohn’s you know how important that is. You knew you were in good hands and he always had compassion for you.
I will miss Dr. Greenberg even though over the past decade or so, I saw him sparingly. I will miss him but he will always be an inspiration to me.
My sincere condolences to the friends and family of Dr. Gordon Greenberg. I was a patient of Dr. Greenberg’s for 22 years. I admired Dr. Greenburg so much and will miss his kind words of encouragement and understanding. Dr. Greenberg was a wonderful human being and amazing doctor. I credit him for literally saving my life . I’ve been healthy for many years thanks to him, but just knowing he was there and I could come see him to discuss any issues provided me with a level of comfort that is hard to put into words. I am going to miss that very much. I will never forget all that he did for me.
I am at a loss to express how great of a docter and person Dr. Greenbert has been. He elevated my quality of life to a level that is difficult to convey to anyone other than those who have been privileged to be in his care. He was a remarkable man and the world has suffered a magnificient loss.
Like the others that have been touched by him, I will sorely miss him and his care.
Rest in peace, Dr. Greenberg.
Gord will be sadly missed by his patients, family and members of the GI Community. I will always cherish the mentorship that Gord provided during the early stages of my academic and professional career. A true person of quality
You helped me when I needed it the most. You made me whole when I was broken and suffering from my illness. You used to tell me “see half glass full” and you have no idea how much this phrase has helped me :)
Dr. Greenberg I will forever be grateful to you and will never forget you.
My deepest condolences to his family, friends and Ann. We all lost a great man.
I am heart broken to hear the sad news of Dr. Greenberg’s passing. I was one of his many patients and the amazing care he gave will be so missed. He was a dedicated, caring and talented physician. I hope and pray precious memories will help ease your sadness. Always take comfort in knowing that Dr. Greenberg made a huge difference in the lives of so many people, including mine.
Dr. Gordon Greenberg turned my life around. Was patient of his since he diagnosed my coliis in 1994. Restored my bowel control and was there for me when I had painful bacterial infections, including Salmonella. Without intestinal health experts like Dr. Greenberg, who are difficult to find, it seems unlikely people like me would live long and pleasant lives. Also went out of his way for my brother, who died last August. When it was obvious something was seriously wrong with my brother’s health, he urged him to have an MRI. Soon my brother’s family doctor said the same thing and it was discovered that he needed emergency surgery for a brain tumour. Helped him live nearly six more years and prevented him from being a vegetable. His non-doctor staff, including secretary Anna Iacono and nurse Sue Irwin, were also more helpful than could be expected. Anna knew a lot about what treatment was good to suggest and Sue did a colitis medication study I participated in in 2001 that made me feel so much better. Proud to say I am related to some of Dr. Greenberg’s family members, which I did not know until a few years after I started seeing him.
I am so saddened by the passing of Dr. Gordon Greenberg. For the past 36 years, he has been treating myself (and just recently my Son and my Brother) for Crohns and Colitis. Very kind, caring and loving individual with a dry sense of humor. A person who would always be available to listen to your situation and condition and come up with the best possible treatment for you. He would always make time to see me when I needed him the most. Always ahead of the curve when it came to knowledge and new treatments in his profession.
My heartfelt condolences to his Family and to his assistant Anna.
I will miss him dearly and never forget what he has done for me. Rest in Peace my Friend
What can be said that has not already been said. Dr. Greenberg was my doctor for over twenty years and is the reason I am alive today. I am heartbroken to hear of his passing. My sincerest condolences to his family, colleagues, friends and especially to Anna – you two were an amazing team. Nothing ever phased him and I admired him for that. Not only have we lost a beloved doctor but a passionate researcher. Dr. G you will be forever missed.
My deepest condolences to Dr. Greenberg’s family, friends and patients. This must be so hard on everyone and words fall short of expressing my sorrow for the loss of such dedicated physician, and researcher. It was a great honor knowing Dr. Greenberg and I am so grateful for all his help, support, and guidance. He was a remarkable teacher with a passion for practical research and improving patient care. He will be missed.
I just found out about the passing of my hero and doctor, Dr. Gordon Greenberg. This man saved my life and always took the time to care for me, and so did Anna. I am deeply saddened and will never forget how wonderful he was, and how much he contributed to making great strides in the area of Gastroenterology. My condolences to his family and friends.
It is never a fond task to say good-bye to one who has passed away. But it is ever more saddening when that person was one who spent most of his life in the pursuit of helping others. He tirelessly wandered the halls of Mt. Sinai these past many years to and fro, as one in a never ending fight to get ahead of a challenging disease plaguing others. Such selfish devotion is noteworthy. It was a calling. And it certainly participated in me sitting at my desk typing right now free of pain and discomfort. His efforts didn’t just help me, they brought new hope to my entire family. How do you say thanks to a gift such as that? If only he could see the smiles on my kids faces when I come home from work happy and full of energy. He helped make that happen. He made a difference. Rest in peace Dr. Greenberg.
I’m very sad to hear about Dr. Greenberg’s passing. He was an amazing physician and got me through my toughest times as a teenager, young woman and mom. I always knew he had my best interest at heart. When I was very sick but wanted to go away and travel during the summers with my friends, he always told me to go and have fun. I’m so lucky to have had such a caring and supportive doctor. I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to have children bc of my disease and Dr. Greenberg always reassured me that I would be just fine. I’ll always remember anxiously awaiting his daily visits to my hospital room when I was an inpatient during my flares. I’ll especially hold dear the memory of Dr. Greenberg showing up after hours in the emergency room and, like my hero, saved me from being admitted. Dr. Greenberg has obviously touched and improved the lives of so many and his memory will live on for many many years to come.
My sincere condolences to anyone whose life was touched from knowing Dr.Greenberg.
I, like most, first met Dr.Greenberg when I was at my worst.I never thought I would feel relief when being told “I need to admit you” but I just knew I was in the best hands in the field and was glad someone finally knew I needed help. Dr. Greenberg never rushed me and always allowed me time to ask questions. When I was afraid he had a way of making me feel hopeful again. I will miss him.
Not only had he given myself and hundreds of patients their lives back but even those with IBD that were not his patients they too are thankful for the research he had done.
May you rest in peace DR. GREENBERG, I am forever grateful to have been in your care and will never forget you.
I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of Dr Greenberg. He was my doctor for 20 years and I owe him a great debt, for without him, I would not enjoy the quality of life I live with now. Condolences to his family.
RIP Dr G.
I am so deeply saddened and upset to hear about Dr Greenbergs passing. I’ve been a patient of his for almost 4 years, and I am so so thankful for having him in my life throughout and being under his care. He helped me through the toughest times and I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. Dr Greenberg always made me feel at ease and keeping positive, he always listened, and would do anything and everything he could to help you and as fast as he could, when no one else would. He provided the most amazing patient care, and worked so hard and long to help others. When I’d see him after his time off, and discuss what he did etc. his time off would be filled working hard on research to help others, to help us, he was like no other doctor I’ve met. He always went well above and beyond and that extra bit to help when we needed it. Dr Greenberg went the extra mile for me more than enough times and I’m so thankful for the time I had with him, being under his care. He was always a shoulder for me. Dr Gord Greenberg, May you Rest in peace . My deepest condolences to all of his family, friends and to Anna.
My Condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Greenberg. He had been ill for some time unable to work since September. He wanted so much to work and look after his patients, but his health was failing and he could not come back. I attended his funeral in Calgary on January 13th, 2016. I was proud to pay my last respects to my boss and dear friend over 37 years. He has an amazing family and friends there. I knew all of them by name and voice. They always called on him to make sure he was ok even though it took him a few calls to return their message. This is where he belongs. We all knew Dr. Greenberg to be a private person, but when it came to his patients he had their interest at heart all the times. He always accepted the challenge to look after complicated patients when no one else could. I saw the way he calmed the patients down when they were anxious and afraid about what their illness had in store for them. He would always tell them, don’t worry you will get better.
Not only will I miss a great boss, but will also miss a dear friend. He was a good listener. I would talk to him about my children and even though he never had kids he could offer advice. He was a good teacher. He liked to hire young students in our office and each one of them has become successful in their profession, including my daughter. He was a shoulder for many, but when it came to his turn he didn’t look for one. That is how proud Dr. Greenberg was. His last few months were difficult at the office, but he didn’t want to worry us about his health. He worried about leaving his patients, Sue (our clinical nurse) and me. This is the end of a large chapter of my life. May you rest in peace, Gord.
His family wants Dr. Greenberg’s name to live on at Mount Sinai Hospital. There will be a memorial to follow within the next month.

I am truly saddened by the loss of Dr. Greenberg. He has been my doctor since 2004 when I returned from the U.S. I’ve had a laundry list of excellent gastroenterologists throughout my travels, since 1996. Dr. Greenberg has stood out as the most compassionate, caring and knowlegeable. My heartfelt condolences to Anna and Dr. Greenberg’s family and friends.

Reposez en paie docteur Greenberg je ne vous oublierai jamais et merci encore pour les bons soins.
I am incredibly sorry and heart broken to hear the news of Dr. Greenberg’s passing. He was my doctor for the last 17 years and is pretty much the reason I am alive and healthy. I wish I could sum up how much he ment to me all these years and the difference he made in my life. My entire family owes him a debt of gratitude.
You brought comfort to me in some of my most difficult times. Thank you so much for all you have done for me and for the advancement of the treatment of Crohn’s & Colitis. My heart goes out to your family and to Anna. I will miss you Dr. Greenberg. Thank you for everything.

I will miss you and thank you for everything you’ve done for so many people
Until we meet again
Gordie and I were early childhood friends, playing together at his home in Mission, and learning about life and its frailties and responsibilities through BBYO and teen-hood. Our life paths went in different directions but the memories remain fifty plus years later. May his smile, his spirit and his gifts remain in the hearts and minds of all who knew him.
I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Dr. Greenberg. I work at Mount Sinai Hospital, have referred others to his care, but also had the privilege of being a patient of his. He was incredibly skilled, kind, and always funny. He truly helped people to have a better quality of life. He will be missed. My condolences go out to his family, friends and to the staff that got to work closely with him.
I had the pleasure of having Dr. Greenberg as my doctor for 40 years. I was sent to Toronto General to see Dr.Jeejeeboy and lucky for me I got Gord. He was a true gentleman and a very good doctor. We always joked I was his first patient and I will miss him very much.

I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Dr. Greenberg’s passing. He was the one Dr. who was able to make my life whole again. I would be in a terrible position health and quality of life wise if it were not for him. There are no words to express my gratitude for this man. I didn’t need to see him very often but that was because he ‘fixed’ me. I am truly one (of many) of his success stories and I will be forever grateful to have met him and been one of his patients.
My sympathies to his family. Always gracious, always prim and proper in med school. A true physician.
The Crohn’s and Colitis Canada community is saddened by the loss of Dr. Gordon Greenberg. His research increased our understanding of IBD management and his innovations in the clinical realm have influenced and enhanced the care of Crohn’s and colitis patients everywhere. He was an outstanding physician and researcher who not only had excellent clinical acumen but would also go the extra mile for his patients. Dr. Greenberg served on Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s Research Committee and also chaired the Clinical Research Section of our IBD Strategic Initiatives Committee.
He will be missed by all of us. We offer our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues.
My sincere condolences to Dr. Greenberg’s family, friends, colleagues, patients and everyone that had a privilege to meet Gord. I was extremely saddened to learn the news of his passing. Such an innovative, critical thinker, always intriguing, insightful to talk to … brilliant doctor and researcher. Truly a huge loss to IBD research and GI community. He was unique and kind. He impacted us all and will be forever missed.
What can I possibly say to convey my heartbreak ? Dr Greenberg has been my tether through my life long health battles. I am not sure I would be alive today if it were not for him.
He has been my rock. After more than thirty five years together, I can’t even sort out my feelings. Words can’t express the loss I feel.
He has been kind, funny, knowledgeable , and listened when times were rough.
Rest in Peace great man….gone but never forgotten.

Sinai family & Anna of course. Dr. Greenberg, Thank-you, for all your care. You will be greatly missed.
My sincere condolences.

We mourn the passing of a great man. My deepest condolences to Dr. Greenberg’s family, friends, Anna, colleagues and anyone he touched through his exemplary career with IBD and Crohn’s Disease.
Dr. Greenberg, or as he recently allowed me to call him, “Gordie” (inside joke) there have been two men in my life that have given me the strength to keep fighting and knowing I had them in my corner that I have nothing to fear…one of them is my father and the other was you. I will miss you very much and I thank you for making a world of difference in my life.
Respectfully with Love,
Dina Likokapis
There is a quote I’d like to dedicate to Dr. Greenberg.
Cure sometimes
Treat often
Comfort always
Hippocrates (c.460 – 400 BC)
My deepest condolences to his family and to Anna, Gord was my doctor over the past 23 years , he was a brilliant man and treated his patients with much respect and dignity ….a kind and caring man who would always go that extra mile , I have many fond memories of our chats and the outstanding care he provided to me , I will miss him dearly . Rest in peace .
