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 > Over the past few years I have had more than enough time spent with doctors that at this point ? I feel I should have my own degree. After seeing this guy?... I feel thats hold even more truth since he did absolutely nothing for me ! > I went to Dr. Millstein for a second opinion as I didn't agree with another office about the direction of care to a knee injury as well as a shoulder injury. > The first time I saw Dr. Millstein, he seemed like the straight forward type. Don't expect to feel like you are talking to a doctor who wants to take his time with you and care. I could of dealt with that provided he could get me back to health and give me direction and sound credible. > However, after a few visits in a month? After this visit? Its abundantly clear that this is a typical case of "there's nothing wrong with you but give me your money" . This guy as said on the website of HIS says the following; > > "Dr. Millstein specializes in knee, shoulder & sports medicine injuries. Regardless of your injury, Dr. Millstein will help you get back to performing the activities you love as quickly as possible." > > "Regardless of your injury" ...... Apparently NOT since this guy can't take the time to tell me what my options really are. He's inconsistent and doesn't care. He just sits there on his chair with his lap top (doing God knows what) and can't answer basic questions about healing time. The doctor himself in a recent visit says to me "Im just a surgeon". Well why then does it say on your website that you specialize in the injuries I have and that you can get me back to health? This guy couldn't even answer BASIC questions regarding how long it would take to heal, what the next steps were, ect... Who gave this guy a degree ???? This place is a waste of your time and your money, like pretty much all LA doctors. Don't bother ! T. R.

Millstein, MD > I actually found Dr. Millstein on Yelp and was really impressed with all of the reviews however, I'm saddened to say that I was completely disappointed. Unfortunately, I personally had nothing but bad experiences. > > I cannot say enough TERRIBLE things about Dr. Millstein's staff. He was a nice doctor, but his staff has been awful to deal with. They make it literally impossible for you to talk to anyone. Their lack of responsiveness has just been completely unprofessional and disheartening. To this day, I'm waiting for a phone call back (I've been calling for 2 weeks and still nothing) so that I can get a referral for a physical therapist, because Dr. Millstein was of no help at all and I still am in terrible pain. > > I've left numerous voicemails on his assistant's line with no response. Finally, after leaving a voicemail on a different line, I received one call back and when THEY called ME, I answered the phone and they said, "This is Dr. Millstein's office calling, can I place you on hold?" and then I waited on hold for 8.5 MINUTES only to be told, when they came back on the line that his assistant would call me back. Which is a joke, and obviously to this day hasn't happened! > > I'm in so much pain and yet cannot get a call returned. If I could give his staff negative stars, I would. J. M.
