Mark Greenberg

Mark Greenberg M.D., a highly respected and pioneering radiologist as well as a generous philanthropist, 72, died of complications due to sarcoma in his home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on December 4, 2022.

Dr. Greenberg is survived by his wife (Dr. Yvonne Jurcik), his brother (Dr. Brent Greenberg) and his nephew (Adam Greenberg), and the thousands of patients he cared for over the 46 years he was in practice.

Dr. Greenberg was a native of Chicago, where with his father and brother he co-founded and co-directed Greenberg Radiology Institute (GRI), the foremost private radiology clinic in the Chicago area. He relocated to the Palm Beach Gardens area in 1996 and opened Advanced Imaging of Stuart, one of the first outpatient imaging centers on Florida’s Gold Coast. Over the ensuing years, Dr. Greenberg provided radiology services through his own practice and as a private consultant through MG Reading Services. He earned a reputation as an astute and meticulous diagnostician.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Greenberg was an avid golfer, travel enthusiast, amateur movie critic and patron of the opera. He also enjoyed dabbling in finances and followed the markets closely. “More than anything, Mark loved golf,” shared Dr. Russell Bourne, a colleague and close friend who golfed with him weekly. “He was a great golf partner. He had the most agreeable and kind way of offering suggestions.”

Dr. Greenberg graduated from New Trier West High School (Winnetka, Illinois) in 1968. He went on to attend UCLA and earned a B.S. in 1972. He completed his M.D. from Northwestern University in 1976 and his residency in diagnostic radiology at UCLA. Dr. Greenberg served on the faculty of University of Chicago. In 1992, he returned to academia to complete his MBA at Kellogg School of Management. Dr. Greenberg was the editor of Essentials of Body Computed Tomography, a textbook published in 1983. “Mark approached life as a student. He was perpetually learning and raised the bar wherever he practiced,” observed his brother and colleague Dr. Brent M. Greenberg.

One of his favorite weekend rituals was watching the Willie Geist show where the host pays tribute each week to “A Life Well Lived.” Dr. Greenberg will be remembered by his cherished family and friends for living such a life.

Services will be held at IJ Morris funeral home in Palm Beach Gardens at 2:30 PM on December 7, 2022. There will be a private burial in Chicago at 11 AM on December 12, 2022 at Shalom Memorial in Arlington Heights.

Dr. Greenberg was a passionate supporter of Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), in particular its scholarship program. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations in his honor. For more information, contact [email protected].
