About David Yu 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.
