> Very pleased with my visit with Dr. Millstein, who answered all my questions and gave me positive feedback on my condition. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Thanks! Also, want to compliment the X-Ray tech, Estefan (sp) for his kind attention, and the receptionist who dealt with my parking problems, and all the others who participated in my care. Really nice atmosphere, all in all.

> Dr. Eric Millstein was my last minute second option, I'm filled with graduate for that chance to end up having my left rotator cuff surgery done by him. I can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. From my very first consultation, he was thorough, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, he took the time to clearly explain my diagnosis, walk me through all my treatment options, and set realistic expectations for recovery.
> 
> The surgery itself went smoothly, and I felt confident knowing I was in such capable hands. What really stood out, though, was the level of care and attention I received throughout the entire process, from pre-op to post-op follow-ups from the entire crew.
> 
> Today, 10 weeks after the surgery, and only 5 weeks of physical therapy, I'm extremely happy and satisfied with my recovery progress, now I can see it thorough, full recovery is just around the corner.
> 
> If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dedicated orthopedic surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Millstein!!

> Dr Millstein could not have been more helpful and precise discussing my options  after an acl and meniscus tearing ski accident two weeks prior. He instantly gained my trust explaining the details of my injury from mri imaging and involved me in the choices I had to make on surgery v rehab .  I cannot recommend him highly enough after my initial consultation.  I chose the surgery route , and his team slotted me in quickly to get me back to work, which is my number one priority .10/10 .

> We discussed the problem, agreed on the future decision I would have to make about a surgery, but no pressure and no gambling, he decided to send me to an MRI, just to make sure it wasn’t worsened since the previous MRI
> Thank you, Dr Eric Millstein and the whole staff

> Dr. Millstein restored my right rotator cuff to better-than-new condition nine years ago. My latest visit was to be examined for soreness in my left shoulder. X-rays and an examination by him indicated it was nothing more than a pulled ligament requiring some physical therapy. I found Dr. Millstein to be just as personable and professional as he was years ago. See him. Trust him. You’ll be glad you did.

> I saw Dr. Millstein about 15 years ago for a torn rotator cuff. He did surgery and brought me back to 100%. I have seen him since for other issues, and he has always been great. Surgery is always his last option, and he does everything he can to avoid it. Most recently, I saw him for a problem with my scapula. He immediately told me that X-rays and other procedures were not needed and explained that physical therapy is what is needed. He then proceeded to find me several providers near me. For a surgeon who makes his money doing surgery to avoid it as much as possible, you know he cares about his patients and doing the right thing.

> I went in with a lot of right knee pain as a result of a fall on a hike. I had had an MRI but was scared and worried damage had been done. Dr Millstein appeared and went over results, fluid around the area from trauma. Gave me 2 injections and said it would take 4 months to heal. Nothing was torn nor broken. This was a relief. He was calming and professional, said he had experienced a similar injury, and assured me it will heal
> And pain will lessen. It is getting better. Thank goodness for modern medicine and Dr Millstein!

Without hesitation I would recommend Dr. Milstein for any orthopedic related need.

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!

The testing of my physical strength and agility was methodical, ending with a referral for MRI and follow up visit.  I was given a few possible options, to consider, depending upon what MRI disclosed.  The staff was great too!

> 
> Dr. Millstein made a diagnosis in literally two minutes, and my knee was operated on about two weeks later. After nine months of walking with extreme pain in my right knee, I obtained complete relief in a very short period of time. 
> 
> Extremely grateful to be able to walk without pain, and extremely grateful to this excellent doctor, who did not even need to obtain any imaging studies whatsoever to make my diagnosis.
> 
> As a doctor myself, my advice for anyone out there who is experiencing frustration with their doctors's diagnosis is to obtain a second opinion!  Not all doctors know what the hell they're doing. And with medicine getting busier and crazier than ever before, and insurance companies less and less willing to pay for tests, outstanding doctors such as Dr. Millstein are becoming more and more crucial.

> Dr. Millstein covered all the necessary bases in regard to my postoperative care needs in his specialty of orthopedic knee surgery. He also carefully examined the x-rays that his technician had just completed, and told me that everything looked good. He also said after he had me bend my knees and do some setup and stand exercises that I had reached the point where I really did not need to continue with physical  therapy for my knees on a professional level at this time, unless I wanted to. He did encourage me to keep being physically active. He also referred me to Dr. Eugene Tsai for the arthritis in my hands and left shoulder, believing that Dr. Tsai could prescribe some therapy for those issues.

> I fell on a treadmill that stopped while going around 6.8 mph on an 14.5 incline and slammed hard and fast onto a wood floor. I broke my shoulder, dislocated it, and caused a rotator tear. I waited several weeks for the appointment and drove from the Valley. This was a trek that seemed worth it. Now in retrospect was likely a fair amount of one reviews (questionable ratings). Dr Millstein is nice enough but that does not make a great doctor. He spent less than three minutes with me. There was almost no exam except for 'hold your arm out.' Then he announced the diagnosis of frozen shoulder and proceeded to offer me steroids. I had a tumor history so he then said I could not have this until I got clearance from my doctor. I appreciated that taking that caution, but I would also like to think an MD would know that Glios and brain tumors in this category are the only tumors that are exacerbated by steroids/Cortisones). You would think a doctor would know that. My neurotologist said as much. Additionally, I asked about a Cortisone shot vs steroids. First, he said no to the shot then he flip flopped. I want a doctor to tell me with absolution what I need. This should not be a pick and choose like a pair of shoes with a patient. This is why I drove out of my way. Additionally, he told me to call the doctor myself. I never heard of a doctor telling the patient to call and ask their doctor. Normal protocol is a staff member gets the doctors' info and then communicates with the doctor or gets them on the line with the doctor needing the information (I have a fair number of doctors in my family). I could have not bothered and said it's fine and just had the shot or meds, but I didn't. I was assured that I could be fit in the following week if I had to come back. Thanksgiving weekend was two days later so I had to wait until the following week. I proceeded to call five days after that visit only to be told it would be another two weeks. They offered me a slot that day but there was no way I could get there otherwise it was another two weeks. No accommodations were made and then it's another trip, visit, and more unnecessary nonsense in addition to weeks more pain, but I think it was a lesson learned because he is not the right doctor for me. I sent my info to a surgeon that treats top sports teams, and he offered a non-surgical procedure. Was this even mentioned in that 2.5-minute visit...nope! In conclusion: this doctor does not respect other peoples' time and seems a bit too speedy with the very limited offered care in the visit.

> I have NEVER written a yelp review for a Dr. but I wanted to share the experience I had with Dr. Millstein and his entire staff.  I unfortunately slipped and fractured 2 bones in my leg. Having never had anything more than a paper cut in all my life I was terrified.  I could not have been referred to a better Dr. !!!  From my first visit, Dr. Millstein was personable and patient as he SAT and walked me through the x-ray of my leg, explaining the bone(s) I fractured, how they "work", what the recovery process would look like and even the symptoms I might have as I recovered.   Without knowing it, this is exactly what I needed...details.  He didn't try to rush the healing process but encouraged me (when it was time and the bone had healed) to do what "felt right" as I began to move away from the crutches and the boot.  This may sound elementary and expected and if it is - great!  However, I've had my share of annual office visits to the Dr. over the years and the totality of all of those visits pales in comparison to exceptional service of Dr. Millstein and the Commons Clinic staff.   From the greeting from the front office and the  respect of your time (not even a 15 min wait to be seen) to entire back office staff - they are all following the example he is setting.  Everyone makes you feel like they are there to help which is an awesome feeling when you are down and wobbling around on crutches!   If (God forbid) you ever break a leg, run (no pun intended) to the Commons Clinic and see Dr. Eric Millstein.  Tell them Violet sent you...You will Thank me later!
