Personal
Practicing medicine is actually a “second career” for Dr. Greiner, who got his start in the commercial art world by managing an art gallery in Omaha, Nebraska. His interest in medicine grew from a fascination with the biology of the human body, so it’s no surprise that his hobbies are also in line with this interest.
He is an avid reader of publications whose topics include nutrition, activity, socialization, and sleep, and he enjoys finding ways to incorporate those lessons into his own life, whether it is personally or through his practice. Dr. Greiner is well-respected in academia, where he served as an academic hospitalist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota. His research interest has been in palliative care and end-of-life decision-making.
Dr. Greiner is married and enjoys staying fit with his spouse. Together they enjoy swimming, weight lifting, healthy dieting and their Rhodesian Ridgeback, who keeps them active. He also enjoys traveling the world in his search for inspiration, and he considers South Africa the most interesting place he’s visited.
