Testimonials
Sandra M
“I’ve been a client patient of Big Sky Integrative for the last three years and have had many appointments, telephone calls and interactions. I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Jeff Green and his staff to adequately give you a good picture of their services. But here are a two things that set Big Sky Integrative Health apart from your average medical providers:
First, they have great attention and responsiveness to their patient customers.
During the numerous appointments and phone calls I’ve found the staff to be concerned and friendly while they work to meet my needs. This is very different from other medical interactions I’ve had where wait times are long and interaction often border on the brusque. In addition, when I have a health concern the staff works to call me back and actually check up on what’s happening in a timely manner.
Second, Big Sky Integrative Health has the knowledge and resources to help create health without disruptive interventions.
Dr. Green has an incredible amount of knowledge and resources to help manage almost every issue. For example, before my husband scheduled a surgery, Dr. Green designed a treatment program that made the surgery unnecessary. This was a stunning outcome since we’d been warned by other doctors that at least 2 or more surgeries could be needed.
Most importantly, Dr Green and his staff at Big Sky Integrative Health will work very effectively with those who want a knowledgeable medical partner in creating and maintaining good heath.”

- VM, Belgrade
“Dr. Green is by far the most amazing doctor that I have seen. He is compassionate and understanding, taking the time to work through things from difficult chronic pain to the flu. His staff has been incredibly helpful with my son when I have to bring him in as well. Belgrade is lucky to have Big Sky Integrative Health in our community!”
