I could not be happier with Dr. Millstein and his staff. My shoulder replacement went smoothly, it has been six weeks since the surgery and I feel fantastic. That grinding bone on bone pain I had been living with is GONE! I have a soreness in my arm, but it is a result of the healing process. Not bad at all...and I must say I am progressing remarkably well. I will be setting up an appointment to do the other shoulder possibly by the end of this year. Now that I know what to expect I will not be as nervous as I was the first time. I just knew I was in good hands...thank you Dr. Millstein and Mariana!

Had a great experience visiting Dr. Millstein for my knee pain. He came highly recommended and I could see why. He saw me at my scheduled time and didn’t keep me waiting. He took the time to examine and address all my questions and concerns. Dr Millstein prescribed a treatment right for me and didn’t have me go through costly MRIs that he didn’t see necessary.

Easy to schedule given that the guy's a well known and highly respected orthopedist. Clear, expedient diagnosis and no-nonsense treatment plan. Terrific experience all around

I was fortunate to be able to get a very quick appointment, and was very, very professionally greeted by front office staff and assisting medical professionals as well. Dr. Millstein remembered me from 9 years ago too at his former practice, which was unexpected. His demeanor was professional and very personal too. My knee issue was resolved very nicely too, which made me very happy because the downtime from playing tennis will be minimal. Very happy.

THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! As one begins to explore replacing a knee it can be scary and brings on a lot of apprehension and questions. I started my search in YELP and did a lot of comparison and review reading. After all, you're replacing an integral part of your body and if not done right can leave you crippled. I ended up selecting Dr. Millstein for an appointment. Dr. Millstein was very straightforward, informative and organized. I felt comfortable with him right away. He gave me my options and I decided to move forward. Appointments were made. His office kept me informed and sent me documents and information when needed. The big day arrived. I had the normal fear and nervousness one gets prior to surgery and he talked to my wife and myself at length and answered all questions. We both felt much better. Needless to say he did a great job. I'm sure I came out of surgery with the best pain control possible. Cedar Sinai hospital was clean, efficient and very friendly. (Which you don't get the friendly part in most hospitals). I would recommend Dr. Millstein to anyone without hesitation. HE'S A GREAT SURGEON. Dr. Millstein, thank you for the new knee!! R. B

Dr Millstein is an excellent doctor. I have seen him for a range of problems over the past 5-6 years including hip, knee and related issues. He's direct and explains things clearly -- and is never condescending! I frequently recommend him to friends and colleagues. Additionally, his staff at the front desk and the technicians are all friendly, professional and efficient. Recently, the front desk found a way to squeeze me in for an appointment because I was experiencing pain, even though the schedule was unusually packed as Dr Millstein had been in vacation. I recommend him most highly! On top of all of the above, he's a great guy!

The front office was friendly, not too long of a wait. The X Ray department was thorough, they gave me a cover for my thyroid. I would have liked them offering the protection without me having to ask. Dr Millstein is professional and will always find a way to help with out surgery as the first option. I have been seen by Dr Millstein for a few years and have always left happy.

My wife and I both saw Dr. Millstein today. WOW What a great first visit. We both had knee issues. He addressed our concerns with a wonderful bedside manner. He has the best imaging center right in his office. Mink Radiology . His medical assistant was very kind . Front office staff were also kind and very helpful. Wait time was 20 minutes which is nothing.

Dr. Millstein is a no nonsense orthopedist..he diagnosed my arthritic knee meniscus tear after a CT scan with contrast....the next appointment was set and the appropriate Hyaluronate shot was injected. Time will tell of its effectiveness. "a down to business, doctor." He gave me some hope.

I am very happy with Dr. Millstein's expertise. I am very UNHAPPY with the service. I have always had to wait to see him. This time was the worst. ONE HOUR. He needs to take one less patient a day. If he spends a lot of time consulting, it only makes sense he is going to throw off the schedule.

This is way overdue. Dr. Millstein performed surgery for me on 11/17/17. I had a graft replace for an ACL and meniscus repaired. His communication throughout the process including texting and calling me post op. was a big surprise and also very helpful. Not all surgeons are alike. Whether it's their ability, or bedside manner, or communication pre/post op. you will see quite a variance between these types of professionals. Dr. Millstein nails all the categories and I am so grateful that Cedars referred me to him and that my insurance worked with him. I would highly recommend him if you are injured and need a great Orthopedic surgeon. Personally, I hope I only have to see him for follow up appointments and not another injury, but if "life happens" I would see him again.

Best possible outcomes because of Dr. Millstein! I couldn't be happier with my recent knee replacement that Dr. Millstein performed. And - I'm only 2 weeks out from the surgery! He was very upfront with the pros and cons for me. I have always felt that he truly cares about me and my situation. I have Lupus and arthritis and have deliberated the decision for the replacement for almost 10 years. I was told for the first few that I was too young for it at the time. I'm still technically too young since there is a possibility I'll have to have another one someday. But - Dr. M never pushed the surgery on me. In fact, he told me two years ago, that he wouldn't do it for "aggravating" only when it became unbearable. That happened this year when I was held back from almost all of the activities I have enjoyed my whole life. It was time. And I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I was a bit concerned at the start - because I got a UTI in the hospital and had to stay on a little longer. But - my care from Dr. Millstein and the residents on call took amazing care of me, gave me a lot of attention and clearly explained the issues and risks. I came home in fine shape, and was off to rehab! Best decision I've made regarding my health in a long time. I can't wait to ski, hike, bike and play in the coming months!

Dr. Milltein's office is at the top of their game. Any busy, successful physician is difficult with which to get an appointment. When my first appointment was booked 10 days out, I asked the receptionist, Zandra, to call me if they had any cancellations, and frankly I did not expect a call back. But the next day Zandra called saying, we've had a cancellation, can you be here in 90 minutes? You betcha'! I've have two appointments and never had to wait more than 10 minutes. Dr. Millstein said he needed to get approval from Anthem Blue Cross on Tuesday, but if approved, he could do the procedure on Wednesday, which is exactly what happened. In addition to Zandra, Beth, Antionette and Susana, Teri leads the medical assistant team. She got the approval, set up the injection tray and kept me informed at every turn of events. Teri stood out for her communication skills, obvious command of the medical procedures and showed real sincerity--are you feeling OK after the injection? Caring and competence inspires patient confidence.

Dr. Millstein is very patient and professional. He is humble and takes his time. I was a new patient and was referred to him by another patient of his. I have seen many doctors in LA and many of them do not treat you like the customer rather you should be thankful you are seeing them. This is NOT the case with Dr. Millstein. He is appreciative you choose him and advises you on the best care for your issue. He is also on time and easy to talk to. I would recommend seeing him if you want a doctor you can trust!

Eric Millstein performed my meniscus operation so skillfully that I took nothing but Advil in the days following surgery. Four years later I can't find the scars that were supposed to last a lifetime, and have had no further discomfort in my knee. (I sometimes have to think for a moment to remember which side used to bother me.) Better yet, he's patient and communicative. I recently went in for a few mild sports injuries and was impressed by how unhurried and thoughtful he was in evaluating each issue and offering advice. He really puts you at ease. After my appointment I remembered something I'd wanted to ask, so I emailed his front desk, who called me early the next day with his reply. Bedside manner really matters when you're injured! Years ago a surgeon in San Francisco performed a tendon repair on my right foot. The surgery went well, but the period leading up to it and my subsequent recovery were punctuated by anxiety, due to the surgeon's penchant for answering only a few precious questions ("When can I start to walk?") before disappearing without warning for his next appointment. It led to some fierce arguments with my mom, who helped me get to appointments, over whether we'd asked the right questions in our allotted time. It was highly stressful, and made the experience of getting hurt all the less pleasant. On the contrary, thanks to Eric Millstein my experience was a positive one throughout.

Dr. Millstein is a class act!! He really takes the time to get to know his patients, and for me that was huge. I tore my ACL/MCL and Dr. millstein fixed em up real good. I'm 2 months out from surgery and just ran at PT for the first time. Everything is looking awesome and I honestly can't wait to tear another ACL just so I can go back and say hi! Hats off to Dr. Eric "Always wins at Operation" Millstein!!
