I was referred to Dr. Millstein by my PCP. In addition to being a brilliant doctor, he has a great bedside manner. He is definitely my go-to guy for any orthopedic needs in the future.

Dr. Millstein has replaced both of my knees. Everything went very well and I find Dr. Millstein to be both professional and friendly. Great bedside manner and I can always get an appointment with him.

The front office and the nurse that escorted me to the room made me feel so welcome as a new patience. Dr. Millstein was very open and receptive to understanding pain in my arm and provided a solution. Dr. Millstein had great bed side manners and did not rush me. Thank you

Dr Estess is great!
Allyson Estess, MD
Dr. Hunt and his office are terrific. I had had great pain and trouble walking any distance. He quickly diagnosed my problem, spinal stenosis, with a vertebrae pressing against my spinal cord. He was able to schedule surgery around my work and it was quick and the result was excellent.In and out the same day, and a speedy recovery. I could not be happier and recommend him to any friends in need.

My visit to see Dr. Millstein was excellent. He is always friendly, easy to communicate with and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and described the various options available in treating my shoulder. I recommend him highly.

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.

Brief Update on C5-6 Disc Replacement surgery from September 2015 6 years later and still 100% perfect! All thanks to Dr. Bae!!

Dr Estess was amazing! She's thorough, listened to my issues and gave me great actionable things to do next. Would highly recommend her!
Allyson Estess, MD
Dr. Millstein is not only a great guy who is easy to talk to, he gets right to the heart of the problem and fixes it. I had an almost unbearable pain for the last 7 months. I was misdiagnosed by another doctor. Just by asking a few simple questions and having me move the part of my body in question a few different ways, he had solved the problem and corrected it. I am now pain free and expect to stay that way. Thanks Dr. M!

Dr. Lee and his nurse went above and beyond. Really great ortho Dr. with really caring nursing staff.
David Lee, MD
Dr. Millstein is an expert, knowledgeable, congenial, efficient, cordial and best of all he kept me informed on every aspect of the procedures throughout the entire examination. The entire staff is exceptional, professional and very pleasant to work with. I feel comfortable returning to him for any need for follow-up and I highly recommend his office to anyone that asks.

Thorough explanation of my diagnosis and potential treatments. I appreciated learning of a possible solution.

Dr Bhalla is a terrific doctor and exceptional surgeon . 10 on a scale of 10. Highly recommend
Amandeep Bhalla, MD
I just saw Dr.Combs first time today. It's a Monday and during Covid19, so it was a bit busy in the office. I had to wait for about 45 minutes to see him. He explained everything to me, my current prognosis, my options, surgical and non surgical treatments. He does Not prescribe pain medications as it was my first time there. I will be calling my primary doctor today. He didn't treat me as an assembly line patient which is nice. Will post more once I have the surgery.
Christopher Combs, MD
Dr. Bhalla is always courteous, polite and concerned about his patients. Dr. Bhalla is very professional and you do not wait a long time for doctor's visit . I highly recommend Dr. Bhalla for orthopaedic healthcare services.

He is warm personable and has terrific bedside manner. Thoughtful and treats us like family. We appreciate that he doesn’t act god like as many surgeons do. He is a regular guy and we enjoy seeing him and believe he will help us to feel better. A. Kahan

Update: Dr. Bhalla performed spine surgery on me on December 38, 2020. Prior to the surgery he came to my bedside and explained what would be entailed in my surgery. I had a lumbar laminectomy L3-L5, instrumented fusion L4-L5, fluoroscopy, allograft ad autograft. He also performed Sciatic joint fusion on me on Dec 19, 2019…Two rods and 7 screws later I am relatively pain free! He is friendly, compassionate and allays my fears prior to the start of any procedure. After the laminectomy, I saw him in the hospital the next morning at 6:45 am! There he was asking if the pain had subsided and it had. Post operative care provided more of the same compassion and general concern for my wellbeing. I have referred many of my friends, family and associates to Dr. Amandeep Bhalla. While I have so much care and admiration for Dr. Bhalla, I would also like to give a 5 star rating to his Nurse. Ronnie is a Breath of fresh air! She is kind, friendly and compassionate. She puts puts you at ease prior to seeing Dr. Bhalla. I have found that I can get an appointment quickly and once you check in for the appointment, Ronnie calls you in quickly and Dr. Bhalla sees you very quick. It is a very well run office. I was referred to Dr. Bhalla for lower back/sciatic pain. He is friendly, courteous and provides a thorough explanation of my problems as gleaned from the MRI. He assisted me in putting aside my fears of an epidural. On the day of my procedure, he came to see me prior to starting and I was greeted with a warm smile. I would like to also give kudos to his Physician Assistant, Mykeal. They are both young medical professionals who strive to make their patients feel at ease through discussion and information. The entire staff of Dr. Bhalla’s office (Corinne the Scheduler), Yvette (his Nurse), and the staff at the Surgery Center should be commended for fast, courteous and friendly interactions with their patients.

Dr Lee listens carefully and is extremely knowledgeable. He is caring, kind and honest. He does not push surgery unless needed and looks for alternatives when possible.
