Report
I had Rotator Cuff surgery 05/11/22. My surgeon Dr. Derek Shia did a wonderful job, very pleased. Dr. Shia has an excellent bedside manner and explained things very well. He also listens intently and answers all my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Shia for anyone with shoulder problems. The staff in Milford are excellent. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. I read some reviews that the staff were unfriendly, that couldn't be further from the truth. I have been there multiple times and never experienced anything like that.

Report
The check in process was pretty quick, they handed me an iPad and I was able to answer all questions there. They processed me really quickly and got me to the MRI machine. The only reason why I gave them 3 stars is because it was so cold in the room they were doing the MRI. The machine was set up in a trailer outside of the facility and it was a cold January evening. It would have been nice to have some heat or a blanket. They were professional and got me in and out but a little bit of warmth would have been nice.

I have had the best experience with many doctors in this practice. Lauren and Amy are incredible therapists with attention to detail. They not only listen to their patients, but are sure to continue to evaluate.

Report
The staff is rude, they don't take covid concerns seriously, and the doctors are not concerned about quality of care, just how much money they can get from their patients! I asked to speak with Dr. Bernstein to alleviate some of my concerns and to ensure I was seeing the right doctor. He couldn't be bothered to answer any questions, address any concerns, nothing. What a disappointment.
