[Back to these patient experiences →](https://commonsclinicreviews.com/review-topics/compassion/eric-millstein/) 135 written reviews Highest rated first · Newest within each rating > Best Orthopedic surgeon I have ever had the experience of being treated by! From the moment I called to make the appointment and spoke to Beth, until I left the office. Dr Millstein was down to earth, honest, professional and straightforward with me. I am in my 70's, have travelled extensively my entire life, so I've had a lot of experience with many types of doctors, with several broken bones in my life, I speak from experience. > I highly recommend this wonderful surgeon (also the reviews demonstrate this along, with some of his previous and current patients with whom I spoke) And of course, it all trickles from the top, suggesting that every staff member in Dr Millstein's facility followed suite, all being kind, professional, efficient and caring. I had a torn rotator cuff and 3 out of 4 shredded tendons in my right shoulder. No more! > So, in conclusion, go to the best orthopedic surgeon and staff I have ever encountered, Dr Millstein and his staff will put you at ease and change your life for the better, forever. S. k.

Baker...I had been having shoulder pain for 6-8 months from carrying cameras as a photographer on set for tv and movies...by the time I finally decided to see a doctor about my shoulder I was referred to Dr. Millstein...To say he’s excellent, kind, thorough and incredibly clear about what this issue is with your body is an understatement...he has a fantastic bed side manner and he took great care of me (and he has a wonderful dry wit)...Can’t recommend him enough!

Millstein, MD > Delighted with Dr. Millstein. He's been my ortho guy for at least 3 years, and I have full confidence in his diagnosis ability. He knows what he's doing, has great "bedside manner," and perhaps most importantly, he does not suggest surgery as a first, second or third option, trying less invasive procedures first. Plus, he doesn't talk down to his patients. R. B.
