Physician Spotlight

Dr. Greg H. Savel
Doctor’s Life
wants to know

How long have you lived in the Tampa Bay area?
I’ve been here since 1984
What is your favorite Tampa Bay restaurant?
I love what’s happening in the downtown St. Petersburg area.
The Birchwood and Z-Grille are two of my favorites.
I recently ate at Restaurant BT in Tampa and spent some time
talking to BT Nguyen, the Chef and owner… it was an amazing
experience as well.
Where is your favorite place in Tampa Bay to relax?
Photography and motorcycling are my other loves so anywhere I can
ride and capture wonderful images. Of course, if my photographic
“VISION” for the day isn’t coming together I cannot relax at all.
What is your favorite event to attend to in Tampa Bay?
Main Sail Art Festival in St. Pete

Dr. Greg H. Savel entered MYRTLE AVE. PEDIATRICS
in 1991 after graduating from the University of Miami, the
University of South Florida (USF) School of Medicine and
USF Pediatric Residency. He has been a resident of Florida
since 1972. He is the President of Myrtle Ave. Pediatrics,
Chairman of PITCH, HOST of Playing Unplugged- Just What
the Doctor Ordered and most important, he is the father to his
daughter Mackenzie and a loving husband to his wife Carol.

If you had never become a physician, what would’ve been
your plan B or second career choice?
I’m still proud to call myself a NERD. I’m the guy that everyone
calls when their computer or home theater system isn’t working
properly. I worked at Radio Shack while in school and might return
there. Funny thing, just yesterday I saw a family whose dad is the
manager of a local Best Buy… I asked him if there were any part
time openings for THE GEEK SQUAD.
