Dr.Millstein and his staff are top notch. Dr Millstein performed knee surgery on me about 7 years ago. Our kids have also seen him a few times for sports related foot and ankle issues. Highly recommend for kids and adults. Just took my son in AGAIN--both our kids are pretty active (one is in a travel sport) and tend to have flare ups--sprains etc. We feel it's always best to get the best professional opinion. Glad Dr. Millstein is able to fit us in and help!

Dr. Millstein is a kind and gentle man. He is very thoughtful and personal. I had an ankle injury that had been plaguing me for over a decades. Upon examining my X-Rays and MRI, he explained my condition. He does not specialize in ankles, so he referred me to one of the best surgeons in the United States. Thank you for the referral and initial diagnosis. You are honest and care about your patients.

Dr Millstein is hands down the best doctor I've ever been to. His unique approach to sports medicine and Injuries is very refreshing. Will listen to every word you have to say and will always consider alternative options. Has sympathy for the pain his patients walk in with, which makes everybody feel at ease. Clean professional environment. I recommend Doc Millstein for anything from knees to ankles to shoulders to hips.

So back on January 1, 2013 I fell while ice skating for the first time. It was extremely painful and my leg twisted strangely underneath my back. Sounds like it hurt? Yeah, to say the least it did. I'm not a complainer and passed it off as a reeeeeeallly bad sprain. January passed. February came and went. March came and went & I still had considerable pain just walking. Turns out I did a bit more than "just spraining" it. So I sought the professional evaluation of Dr. Millstein. I am glad I did, we did all the necessary testing and diagnostics. His professionalism is only exceeded by his wonderful personality. He provided a Physical Therapy script and as I write, my ankle is much better than it was a few weeks ago. Thank you!
