About David Y. Greenblatt, MD
I became a physician and surgeon to positively impact the lives of individuals facing serious health issues. I enjoy working as part of a team to solve problems and strive to continuously acquire new skills and knowledge. As a board-certified general surgeon, I treat a wide variety of conditions. My specialty is minimally invasive surgery with the da Vinci robotic surgical system, which allows for smaller incisions, less pain and faster recovery. I am committed to delivering safe, high-quality care and have been designated a Surgeon of Excellence in robotic surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation. In my free time, I enjoy biking, hiking and off-road driving in the mountains and deserts of Southern California.

Dr Greenblatt is very straight to the point. Whatever you ask, you get an immediate and thought out answer. Probably one of the most efficient and informative doctors I've encountered at Sharp so far.

Dr. Greenblatt was very informative in explaining my healing process. Also answered my questions. It was a very good conversation.

In all my conversations with Dr. Greenblatt, in person and on the phone, he has a way of speaking which leads me to feel as though he's in a hurry to get the conversation overwith. I don't know if that's actually true or if it's just how he talks in general, but to me it felt somewhat dismissive. I have a sister who does the same thing, so I don't take the doctor's manner personally. I know some people just have that way of communicating.
