Millstein, MD > Felt really comfortable with his staff and him! He took the time to really talk to me about my options. My case is complicated because three different joints are affected. He specializes in knees (which both of mine need work) but my hip is critical! He asked did I have the time to see his partner, who is a hip specialist and one of the top Docs at Cedars. Even though the office was backed up due to the rain, he made sure I got new xrays so his partner could see me right then! Awesome, because the other CS hip specialist didn't have an opening until mid March. So now I am looking at getting my surgery with the next 4-5 weeks vs 4-5 months! YEAH!!! C.

Millstein, MD > Dr Millstein is an excellent doctor. I have seen him for a range of problems over the past 5-6 years including hip, knee and related issues. He's direct and explains things clearly -- and is never condescending! I frequently recommend him to friends and colleagues. Additionally, his staff at the front desk and the technicians are all friendly, professional and efficient. Recently, the front desk found a way to squeeze me in for an appointment because I was experiencing pain, even though the schedule was unusually packed as Dr Millstein had been in vacation. I recommend him most highly! On top of all of the above, he's a great guy! R. T.

Millstein, MD > I've been seeing Dr. Millstein for almost 10 years now. Not every day of course. And not every year either. Within those 10 years, there could be stretches of 3 or 4 years where I didn't need to see him at all. However, when I do need to see Dr. Millstein, it's always a stellar experience. The combination of his hip sense of humor along with his superb skill honed over years of practice make for one of the best doctors I've ever had. The 2013 knee surgery and 2016 shoulder replacement were both amazing. Yes, he's not the only doctor who could've done this for me but I can't imagine I could've been in better hands. My visit yesterday was a follow-up. He went over x-rays with me and explained everything in a way that my non-medical brain could comprehend (as he always does). I'm confident every patient of his walks away believing they are his favorite patient. He is simply the best in L.A. Yes, I realize that's a bold statement considering I haven't met every orthopedic surgeon in the city but I stand by it all the same. S.

Millstein, MD > 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. M. F.
