Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I never write reviews yet here I am. Goes to show how unhappy I am with this dr. I have a broken arm and was referred to him upon his availability. Met him once and during that visit for consultation, we barely spoke. He didn’t seem to care. I could count on one hand how many questions he asked me before I was sent on my way. I’ve never had a dr. lack personality, compassion and one on one skills with a patient. Especially on a first visit. To top it off, I was called to reschedule my 1week follow up appointment THE MORNING OF saying he won’t be in. I asked if this happens a lot at this office because with a broken arm, I have to arrange ahead of time for family members to take me. She said yes it happens a lot. How unprofessional. I’ve never had a doctor appointment rescheduled ever. I didn’t even want Dr.Stein in the first place but my choice of doctor was booked up.

Dr. Stein is a fantastic surgeon, caring and compassionate, but you must know that he has a front office girl that is rude, condescending and needs to be fired. I had total knee replacement with Dr. Stein and have had many return visits following the surgery. She is always this way. I will not recommend any friends or family to Dr. Stein because of this girl. I don't know her name, but she was on duty Monday, July 2nd at 4:00. Dr. Stein if you are reading this, Fire her!!

Coastline Orthopaedic, and Dr. Stein in particular, are simply incredible! I sprained my back three weeks ago and was taken such good care of, I was blown away. Dr. Stein really cares about his patients, and you can just tell how dedicated he is to what he does. It's no wonder he is so sought after! After some medication and physical therapy, my back is almost 100% better. And the staff - so accommodating and friendly! Thank you to everyone at Coastline!!

After many mix ups with office staff, the Doctor assured me that things were fixed in office. My scheduled surgery time was pushed back 2 hours because the doctor had a appointment (?) so I was in a cold pre-op room waiting. No apology. My recovery went well. A couple weeks after surgery my knee started to hurt. I went back in and was given a anti inflammatory and a Rx for Physical therapy. I am now 2 1/2 months post op and called in acute pain. Was told to elevate and take anti inflammatory???

Dr Stein has performed 4 surgeries on my body and each and every time I was given the best quality care, as well as post-surgery supervision and advice on maintaining my heath. As a baseball player, the operation on both knees and right shoulder has kept me playing in the game I still love today. At 58 years of age I owe Dr Stein more then words can express. Thank You Dr Stein Sincerely Carlos Pianelli

My experience with this office staff, doctors and surgery team was excellent.. What i saw is a staff that handles what seems to be about 15 people per hour, and did so better than ive ever seen. Each visit i was in an office within 10 min of appt time. was seen by dr stein within 5 min of being placed in an office. And by the way,1 week after knee surgery, i am walking as if it never was injured..I am tempted to run and exercise

Dr. Stein and all the staff - I am the only one in my extended family that has ever broken a bone - my ankle was broken and was referred to Dr. Stein. Before he saw me in surgery and his office the staff said told me I was in good hands, and that they liked Dr. Stein very much. They were right - I am happy with the plate with 6 screws, and one longer screw. I now have a bionic ankle. So now it's all about healing and Physical Therapy, and most of all, time. Dr. Stein is the go to guy!
