I have been seeing him for my various orthopedic issues (knees, elbows, shoulders) over the last 5+ years or so, and he has without fail evaluated diagnosed and prescribed the correct treatment. Without hesitation I would recommend Dr. Milstein for any orthopedic related need. > > 8/27/24-I saw Dr. Milstein, accommodated me on very short notice. Once again Eric (he’s treated for so long I feel I can use his first name!) evaluated my issues, after fully informing me advised cortisone shot, I agrred. He injected smoothly, painlessly. He has had a great track record with of hitting the ‘right spot’ and I am confident he’s done it again. He’s that good! J.

SCOTT Rating: 5/5 · Source: Google · Date: June 27, 2023 [Reviewer’s Google activity](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109057961521690466898/place/ChIJt04grlG5woARykBaakD_dF8) Source link type: reviewer place Attributed clinician: Eric S. Millstein, MD > Dr. Millstein is a brilliant doctor and an incredible person. I had my elbow smashed and he gave me a replacement. It was uncertain if I would ever have full rotation again, but here I am 4 years later with full rotation, my scar is fading fast, and I am playing piano and guitar. With a full joint replacement, I do and will always have some pain and soreness, but I believe that Dr. Millstein minimized the seriousness of my situation. He was so kind, generous, personal and truly caring. I've never experienced such care and I cannot recommend anyone more. T. F.

Millstein, MD > As an update to my original review, Dr Millstein contacted me, further explained my condition and why I was referred and I finally got the answer to the condition that had plagued me for 6 years. While my first impressions weren't favorable, the aftercare by Dr. Millstein definitely made up for it. My issue was uncommon so the doctor referred me to someone who specialises on elbow and hand injuries. T. M.
