Millstein, MD > I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Millstein since 2023. He has improved my quality of life immensely. I’m 67 years old and have bad knees. With Dr. Millstein’s recommendation of physical therapy along with cortisone injections I am able to function without pain. He is so kind and considerate, extremely knowledgeable! I highly recommend him! Do not hesitate to reach out to his staff for any questions you might have. They are all great! Make an appointment today and start enjoying your life with less pain and more joy. If I could rate him higher than 5 stars I would. 💫 A.

A spacious area with various seating areas and a pleasant front desk staff. > > Dr Milstein himself is friendly, professional and direct. I have much confidence in his medical assessment and protocol for my very painful shoulder. > > After years with Kerlan Jobe (now Cedars) the circuitous phone messages to reach a human, the exorbitant wait times to actually see a Dr, the rushed brief visit once an appointment is secured with a doctor, Dr Milstein and his practice are a breath of fresh air !!! > > Also, very easy parking > > 100 out of 100 overall score ! > > P.S.

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.

Millstein, MD > I fell on a treadmill that stopped while going around 6.8 mph on an 14.5 incline and slammed hard and fast onto a wood floor. I broke my shoulder, dislocated it, and caused a rotator tear. I waited several weeks for the appointment and drove from the Valley. This was a trek that seemed worth it. Now in retrospect was likely a fair amount of one reviews (questionable ratings). Dr Millstein is nice enough but that does not make a great doctor. He spent less than three minutes with me. There was almost no exam except for 'hold your arm out.' Then he announced the diagnosis of frozen shoulder and proceeded to offer me steroids. I had a tumor history so he then said I could not have this until I got clearance from my doctor. I appreciated that taking that caution, but I would also like to think an MD would know that Glios and brain tumors in this category are the only tumors that are exacerbated by steroids/Cortisones). You would think a doctor would know that. My neurotologist said as much. Additionally, I asked about a Cortisone shot vs steroids. First, he said no to the shot then he flip flopped. I want a doctor to tell me with absolution what I need. This should not be a pick and choose like a pair of shoes with a patient. This is why I drove out of my way. Additionally, he told me to call the doctor myself. I never heard of a doctor telling the patient to call and ask their doctor. Normal protocol is a staff member gets the doctors' info and then communicates with the doctor or gets them on the line with the doctor needing the information (I have a fair number of doctors in my family). I could have not bothered and said it's fine and just had the shot or meds, but I didn't. I was assured that I could be fit in the following week if I had to come back. Thanksgiving weekend was two days later so I had to wait until the following week. I proceeded to call five days after that visit only to be told it would be another two weeks. They offered me a slot that day but there was no way I could get there otherwise it was another two weeks. No accommodations were made and then it's another trip, visit, and more unnecessary nonsense in addition to weeks more pain, but I think it was a lesson learned because he is not the right doctor for me. I sent my info to a surgeon that treats top sports teams, and he offered a non-surgical procedure. Was this even mentioned in that 2.5-minute visit...nope! In conclusion: this doctor does not respect other peoples' time and seems a bit too speedy with the very limited offered care in the visit.
