Do you see patients from Ohio?

Yes. Dr. Greenberg sees Northwest Ohio patients through Orthopaedics Northeast, with office options in Bryan, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Confirm which office is available for your appointment before arranging transportation.

Do I have to travel to Fort Wayne for a consultation?

Not necessarily. Ask the scheduling team about the Bryan office at 442 West High Street, Bryan, OH 43506, as well as the Fort Wayne offices. Availability and the appropriate location for your visit must be confirmed. A consultation office is not necessarily the facility for a procedure.

Will my Ohio insurance cover care in Indiana?

Coverage depends on your specific plan and network, not on the state line. Many plans cover care in Fort Wayne for Northwest Ohio residents, but you should verify your benefits before scheduling, and our staff can help you check. Nothing on this page is a promise of coverage.

What if my back injury happened at work?

Work-related injuries involve their own paperwork and rules that depend on your employer and your state's system. Our guide to what to do after a back injury at work covers the early steps. When you call, tell the staff it is a work injury so scheduling and documentation are handled correctly from the start.

What This Practice Offers the Region

Marc Greenberg, MD earned his medical degree at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, completed orthopedic surgery residency at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, and completed spine surgery fellowship at Brown University. His fellowship included minimally invasive and endoscopic spine techniques. He practices in Fort Wayne through Orthopaedics Northeast, within the Parkview Health network.

The practice covers the full decision range, not a single technique:

Endoscopic spine surgery for selected patterns of nerve compression — see also our guide written for Bryan, Ohio–area patients considering endoscopic surgery
Microdiscectomy and laminectomy for herniated discs and spinal stenosis
Cervical disc replacement as a motion-preserving alternative to fusion in selected patients
Fusion, including robotic- and navigation-assisted approaches, when instability or deformity genuinely requires it
Second opinions on operations recommended elsewhere — including when the answer is that surgery is not needed

When to Consider a Spine Consultation

Most back and neck symptoms should be handled close to home first — primary care, physical therapy, time. The situations that may justify a spine consultation are more specific:

Leg or arm pain from a pinched nerve that has not improved with appropriate non-surgical care
Sciatica with warning signs — progressive weakness, numbness, or symptoms that keep escalating
Walking that keeps getting shorter because of spinal stenosis
A fusion or other major operation recommended locally that you want independently reviewed
Symptoms that persist after a prior spine surgery
A back injury at work that is not improving the way it should

New bowel or bladder changes or saddle numbness are different: those need emergency evaluation at the nearest hospital, not a scheduled drive.

Planning the Trip

A well-planned single visit can accomplish a great deal; a poorly planned one wastes a tank of gas. Before you come:

Send imaging and records ahead, so the consultation produces an actual answer
Confirm whether an in-person examination is needed before any recommendation
Confirm your appointment office and insurance benefits for that location — coverage follows your plan and network, not the state line
Ask how follow-up will be coordinated with your local clinicians
Clarify which symptoms should change the plan before your visit date

Scheduling, insurance participation, and visit format are confirmed through the clinical and scheduling process rather than promised on a website. Start with the new-patient request for contact and routing information only; do not submit medical details through the public form.

When to seek urgent care

Call 911 or go to the emergency department right away if you have any of the following:

Loss of bowel or bladder control, or new difficulty urinating
Numbness in the groin, buttocks, or inner thighs (saddle anesthesia)
Rapidly worsening weakness in one or both legs
New clumsiness in the hands — buttons, handwriting, dropping things
Unsteadiness, imbalance, or falls when walking
Rapidly progressive weakness or numbness in the arms or legs

These can be signs of a problem that needs emergency treatment.
