Millstein, MD > 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.
