[Back to these patient experiences →](https://commonsclinicreviews.com/review-topics/communication/eric-millstein/) 156 written reviews Highest rated first · Newest within each rating > Dr. Millstein is the absolute best in every way. He came highly recommended to me by many medical professionals and my husband who is also a doctor. He was extremely honest with me about my need for surgery and he was right. Everything he said came true about my knee and in the end I needed a procedure. I was extremely nervous about the whole procedure and he took the time to explain everything to me and calm me down. He had so much empathy and understanding of my fears and took the time to speak to me about it. On the morning of the surgery he came in prepared, on time and did a fabulous job. I left the surgery center walking and I am healing very well. I could not have asked for a better doctor. He is knowledgeable, smart, kind, honest, straightforward, experienced and talented. I highly recommend him! S. T.

Millstein, MD > Beautiful new facility for the Commons Clinic and I really adore my specialist-surgeon, Dr. Eric Millstein, Orthopedic Surgeon. I saw Dr. Millstein couple of years ago with numerous sports injuries and previous surgeries. I found him to be the kindest most empathetic doctor. Importantly, he has strong medical knowledge, excellent communication skills, and the ability to show empathy and compassion towards his patients. He has kept me from panicking about needing further surgeries, which to me, is everything. K.

This was my son’s second shoulder surgery in 2 years and after a lot of research and recommendations we went with Dr. Millstein and we are so glad we did! He was kind, professional and took his time explaining the procedure in detail and all the recovery steps. We are 3 weeks out and looking forward to our next post op meeting to assess his healing and progress. Great experience so far! Thank you Dr. M. M.
