Dr. Edward J. Greaney
New York
Internal Medicine
Dr. Edward Greaney fell in love with New York City during his time at New York University Grossman School of Medicine. He describes his residency in internal medicine at NYU Medical Center/Bellevue Hospital as “a magical blend of intensity, autonomy, dedication, and humility.” He was selected to do an additional year as one of the Chief Medical Residents in his program. After completing his formal training, Dr. Greaney joined a private practice and remained on the faculty of NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
Before joining Atria, Dr. Greaney maintained a thriving medical practice for over 20 years. In addition, he served as the Associate Team Physician of the New York Mets for several years. He also received countless accolades including Castle Connolly Top Doctors, New York Magazine’s Best Doctors, Super Doctors, and Compassionate Doctors awards.
Over the years, Dr. Greaney became increasingly frustrated with the hurdles to practicing proactive medicine. The barriers to getting an appropriate coronary score, a chest CT scan, a brain MRI, or genetic testing for his patients made it virtually impossible for him to provide effective primary care. A desire to be at the forefront of primary care, diagnosis, and prevention prompted Dr. Greaney to look for a change.
In 2021, Dr. Greaney was introduced to the founders of Atria by a colleague who saw their shared interest. At Atria, Dr. Greaney helped assemble an ambitious team of clinicians dedicated to proactive, preventive medicine. “I am beyond excited to work with an amazing group of colleagues to revolutionize medicine and define the future of preventive health care,” he says.
Like many doctors, Dr. Greaney’s journey to medicine started early. After his mother had life-threatening complications from an elective hysterectomy, she decided to pursue a career in nursing. Suddenly, Dr. Greaney’s coloring books became anatomical atlases, and a passion was born. Throughout high school, he worked as a veterinary technician, getting his first taste of the immense personal reward that comes with guiding people through frightening and challenging experiences.
After endless discussions with his mentor, Dr. Greaney decided to become a medical doctor who has dogs (and kids)—instead of a veterinarian who has kids. Dr. Greaney graduated from Binghamton University with academic honors, and he has three beautiful children—all of whom believe they are his favorite.
