Millstein, MD # Patient reviews [← Back to the clinician profile](https://commonsclinicreviews.com/physicians/eric-millstein/) 626 written reviews Highest rated first · Newest within each rating > I visited Dr. Millstein for a torn rotator cuff and then two months later for a fractured kneecap. Dr. Millstein is incredibly knowledgeable and is conservative in his treatment. I've heard that surgeons are quick to want to perform surgery, but Dr. Millstein listened carefully, looked at test results and determined that surgery was not necessary for either of my injuries. His skillset is top-notch and he answers all questions without rushing you. His staff is also as phenomenal as he - they are very efficient, kind and follow through with all calls, forms, etc. If I could give Dr. Millstein 10 stars, I would. He is deserving. J. M.

Millstein, MD > Dr. Millstein is great. I've been to him several times for both a knee injury and arm injury and have alwys found him extremely professional and knowledgeable, with a great bedside manner. He evaluated my knee issue (torn meniscus)and recommended a cortisone shot. It seems to have worked and I'm especially appreciative that he just doesn't jump to surgery. My only minor complaint is that I had to wait almost an hour but Dr.Millstein did apologize and said he was very busy. E.

Millstein, MD > Dr. Millstein is one of the few orthopedists I have been to who recommends non-invasive procedures before heading straight for surgery. He is honest, kind, so smart and has so much integrity. This is my second, second opinion for my osteoarthritic knee issues over a four year period. He hasn't steered me wrong yet. I highly recommend him and have great respect for his insights. Rosemary Amendola-Sellers R.

Millstein, MD > Dr. Millstein re-attached my long head bicep to my shoulder. Super clean surgery, you'd never know it happened, that's how well it healed and you can't see a scar. He's an artist as much as a surgeon. I also found him to be straight forward and very supportive post-op which helped me keep my head out of the equation during down time...AMAZING man, BRILLIANT Doctor! > Im adding to this review that 10 years later I my other long head bicep needed repair n I returned to this INCREDIBLY KIND COMPASSIONATE TALENTED SURGEON to fix that one too. Thx to Milstein I’m still rocking tank tops n dresses beautifully!!! He’s the kindest n most ethical doctor you will ever find. Highly recommend! Z.

Millstein, MD > Staff friendly and helpful. Dr. Millstein walked into the room with an energy that impressed me. He shook hands. Introduced himself, and immediately took away any tension I was feeling. The main reason I felt comfortable and knew I found the right doctor was because he was not an alarmist! He explained what was going on in a way that was easy to follow. For me, who may very well need surgery in my future, I am leaving with confidence and calmness that I absolutely found “my doctor “!!!
