THE MOST RACIST, DISCRIMINATORY, RUDE UNPROFESSIONAL DOCTOR I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!! His first words were "Why did you file a claim for, if you would have came to me first I could have fixed you with a shot or surgery" and from there he asked about my personal insurance and that he accepts many forms of insurance so I can come back and use my personal insurance instead of using workers comp. He didn't even examine me good he diagnosed me within 5 seconds and the rest was about my insurance and how he doesn't believe in workers comp for carpal tunnel! This is the worst doctor you can go to, just plain rude, unprofessional and stupid ass remarks, I wish I would have recorded him when he said that racist remark! He also said that carpal tunnel has nothing to do with work, but he had a poster in his office clearly stating the causes of carpal tunnel and it says work, repetitive movements, and also he stated that carpal tunnel is not a work Injury and he said there's no way I could have gotten it by keyboarding but funny thing is he also gave me papers to read and the causes of carpal tunnel and on the second sentence it said a lot of repetitive movement and keyboarding lol. He told me to not pay attention the work related and repetitive movement because the poster is old. He also said that In his "opinion" I should not be getting paid while not working with workers comp because he doesn't believe that was the cause. His "fact" was that I'm over weight so I should have type 2 diabetes that's why I have carpal tunnel. He also made a racial discriminatory comment saying "I believe you know a lot of people that do this huh" he kept implying that I am after money when I clearly am not. I told him no I just want to get better so I can return to work. His response, "everyone that goes through workers comp gets fired" so I suggest you close your claim and use your moms insurance if you want to keep your job. I felt that he was discriminating and racist because he was implying that the majority of people that "act hurt" are Hispanics and we just want a quick check. He felt stupid when i told him that NO I did not know anyone that has been on workers comp. Also every time I didn't agree with something for example when I said how is it that the carpal tunnel came back negative he said those nerve test don't work, if you have mild there's a chance of it not showing but my opinion is that you have it and you need surgery and I can do that for you. Then once he sent a letter to my primary doctor at CCCMA he laughed and said "another doctor that's going to be mad at me" I was not pleased by what he wrote he stated many times "this is not a work injury" and every time I asked him what are you saying he kept saying well we all have opinions right . I felt that he wanted to me stop getting treated and stop workers comp to just come to him Under my moms insurance, and kept stating that everything he is writing is his opinion of what he thinks, but that I can "find a doctor" that will keep me under workers comp! This doctor made me feel uncomfortable, harassed and discriminated against. read more

I am a returning patient to Dr. Stein office. I have had a series of hand surgeries done by him (actually, the first 2 surgeries Dr. Stein performed on me at different surgery centers, 2007 - 2009. Later ones were performed at the operating room, adjacent to his office.) The surgeries, I had, were - left shoulder, moving the ulnar nerve (under the Funny Bone) on the left elbow, number of "trigger fingers" (when your fingers do not want to straiten after you squeeze your hand). I also had "tennis elbow" syndrome on the same left elbow - Dr. Stein treated it with a simple, inexpensive technique; he just injected my own blood to the outside knuckle of my elbow (the presence and circulation of the blood, heals the symptom by itself). When working on my fingers, he also performed carpal tunnel surgeries on both of my hands. All these surgeries yielded perfect results. My hands healed well and worked fine after all these treatments. Dr. Stein is a true professional and he knows what is he doing. Lately, I have developed another big complication, this time with my (again) left wrist. I headed back to Dr. Stein's office. He diagnosed it as a stage III SLAC wrist, gave me 3 options for its treatment and let me research and decide which treatment I want. Also, I should mention his assistant Jennifer, whom I also know since my first visits. When I later asked for her advice, she was very patient and helped me a lot with making my final decision. Finally, I decided on a smaller surgery with an option of having "wrist reconstruction" later, if necessary. So, I got a lot of help and no pressure. Surgery scheduler, Maria, whom I also know from my previous visits, is also very nice and pleasant to work with. Again, I have full confidence in Dr. Stein and all his stuff. I will later post another review of the outcome of this upcoming procedure. read more

Well what could I say about my Experience with Dr. Stein and his staff which is quite large , lady's at the front desk , his assistant Jen , the nurses , anesthesiologist and the physical therapists.

Oh yeah one more thing, he sings while he operates, and that I loved it showed me he was calm, in a good mood,loves what he does and doesn't care if he could carry a tone just kidding he has a great voice , no really he does !

I've had carpal tunnel in both my hands for many years. I continually procrastinated having surgery out of fear. My experience with various "specialists" for my hands has been negative causing me to wonder: Who can I trust? I know friends and acquaintances who've already had this procedure and shared their outcomes with me; some had good results while others weren't totally pleased. The condition of my hands over the years was not improving and I wasn't getting any younger. Finally, I went to my primary care physician and she recommended this Medical Center where Andrew J. Stein, M.D. is on staff. Kudos to my P.C.! It is one of the "best referrals" I've ever had! I'm not very trusting when it comes to the medical profession. My expectations were very low. Upon my initial visit to his office, Dr. Stein himself came out called my name and escorted me into his office. I still cannot explain why but in just moments of meeting him, I was very comfortable in talking with him. He was very professional, thorough and friendly. I was confident that he knew what he was talking about and I felt assured that I was in "good hands". His staff was wonderful. They knew how to take care of business and yet were friendly: very professional. Dr. Stein operated on both my hands the same day. BOTH MY HANDS! I can honestly report: This is the BEST surgery I have ever experienced. I did everything Dr. Stein and his staff suggested that I do. My hands are healing and feel wonderful. "Simply the BEST"!

I'm going to concur with the other 1 star Yelp reviews. I'm using Yelp because my Google review disappeared. I will never forget Dr. Andrew Stein. I don't want him to forget me either. After his staff was not able to correct my major orthopedic issues, which may have been caused by his surgeon-buddy across the street. Dr. Stein wanted me to have another surgery to correct the first. I refused another surgery. Someone said he worked for the workers compensation insurance companies. I didn't know what that meant until he accused me of faking my "trauma" and preparing to fake another injury if I returned to work. I called his accusation "ridiculous" and he later used the same term to describe me. I think he may have also called me "belligerent," the good ole trope. Dr. Stein thought I was not being cooperate and faking trauma four months into a workers compensation case that lasted more than four years. I was found fully favorable to receive disability though Dr. Frankenstein accused me of faking my trauma. Even with the physical evidence which showed I would be deformed the rest of my life. Shame on you boss. I took it personally but I see now, it is your character. It had nothing to do with mine. P.S. A lot of blonde women were very fond of him. I betcha many of his colleagues will give him a good review. Reviews from patients however... read more

Having alot of trouble with my hands, i had to make a decision to go see a doctor and that is when Dr. Steins named came highly recommended, so i went to see him. I have not had any surgery in over 12 years so of course i was terrified. I walked into his office and i was immediately put at ease, and was told all of the steps that would be taken to releave me of pain that has become unbearable. Dr. Stein and his staff listened to all my questions and concerns so when i went into surgery i was fully aware what was going to be done. The staff at the surgery center were amazing and made me feel so comfortable, and made me laugh at times. After the surgery i came home and knew what to expect and my recovery went very well!. I just had my last appointment and my left hand has healed very well and the fusion in my thumb along with the carpal tunnel is excellent; still have a little discomfort but that is to be expected compared to what i had before. When my hand is a whole lot better, I need to get my right hand done and I am looking forward to having Dr. Stein perform it, he has such a gift to help patients that have the same problem as i do. I highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I saw Dr. Stein for Dupuytren's Contracture in my left hand. The result of the initial enzyme treatment looked good for a while, but--unfortunately--did not last. In the course of a few months my 'pinky' turned inwards, almost to the base of my wrist. When Dr. Stein suggested surgery, it wasn't much of a choice for me, given the debilitating condition. The surgery went very well. When the bandage and splint came off, 10 days later, I was greatly astonished about the minimal amount of incision. Having watched a few YouTube videos about this type of surgery, I expected more of a zigzagging landscape over the better part of my palm and pinky. Dr. Stein explained to me that he didn't believe in this standard procedure--although he lost me a bit when he got into the finer points of his procedural reasoning. All I can say is that at this point--some five weeks after the surgery--I am very satisfied with the progression of the healing, the regaining of function in my left hand, and the allover treatment received by Dr. Stein and his staff. read more

I had two surgeries performed on my right hand by Dr. Stein. The whole process from beginning to end was done very professionally and with very little subsequent pain. His entire staff, and assistants, always made me feel comfortable, and Dr. Stein told me what he was going to do on the hand repair, and what to expect afterward during subsequent follow up treatments and therapy. From my experience, I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Stein's expertise and professionalism, and could not be more pleased with the end result of the surgeries. I would recommend Dr. Stein to anyone who is having any hand surgery which requires the utmost of care and precision that Dr. Stein provides. Pardon the pun, but you cannot be in better hands than those of Dr. Stein. read more

I wish I could give Dr. Stein more than 5 stars. He and his staff are outstanding. In July 2018 I had surgery by Dr. Stein for cubital tunnel syndrome and carpal tunnel. Dr. Stein and his staff took the time to fully explain my condition, the options available to me, what surgery would entail and recovery expectations. The surgery went perfectly and recovery is ahead of schedule. Dr. Stein and his staff's expertise, skill, patience, kindness and compassion are top of the line. If you are having hand or arm problems I recommend Dr. Stein without hesitation. Best of the best!!! read more

Dr Stein and Jenn (his PA) are the most warming, compassionate,informative medical team I have ever been too. That is saying something since Ive seen a lot of doctors. They talk to you on a normal level. They treat you like a human and not a number or $$$ or naive. They explain what exactly is wrong and how they are going to make it right again. I was so frustrated and confused about my arm that a few other doctors told me a lot of medical terms that just didn't sound or feel right. Now I'm confident with my diagnosis and see relieve in the near future. Thanks again Bridget Diaz read more

I have been going to Dr. Stein for several years due to a trigger finger on both hands. As the cortisone shots were no longer working, I had surgery on both hands earlier this year. Dr. Stein and his staff were professional, knowledgeable and capable. It has taken me several months to write this review as it took me a few months for my hands to feel normal again. I would highly recommend Dr. Stein and his office. An added bonus is that he makes the patient feel comfortable and that is important to me. Follow-up from his office was great and I would do the surgery again. read more

Dr. Stein's medical knowledge and experience of the arm and hand is superior to any Orthopedic Surgeon in his field. He could have easily performed an expensive surgery and billed Work-Man's Compensation for the painful work related issues I experienced with lateral epicondylitis. Instead, he opted for an inexpensive procedure called Autologous blood injection using my own blood. I no longer suffer daily pain and I am able to function without elbow braces. He is very Professional and friendly and even goes out to waiting room and greets his patients. read more

I love Dr. Stein and have such confidence in his abilities that i am totally relaxed going into surgery. I have had four surgeries done by Dr. Stein where all of them were completed successfully. My broken wrist looked the worst and after healing, it was as good as new. The scars i have are barely noticeable. If you have any issues with your wrists, i would totally trust his judgement on what needs to be done. Hopefully I don't see him again, but if i have any issues, i know where to find him. read more

Dr. Stein on his website so is the average waiting time is 10 to 15 minutes I ended up waiting over two and a half hours and became agitated due to my bad back having to sit in a chair I believe dr. Stein operates on ego and vanity I overheard him talking about me in the hallway and I did not appreciate what he had to say my personal opinion is he's very arrogant and I would not recommend him read more

Dr. Stein, you rebuilt both my hands about 17 yrs ago. Just wanted you to know that I am now approaching my 78th birthday and have had zero problems with either hand even though I have continued to lift very heavy weights at the gym. I have willed my body to Stanford University so your work will eventually be seen at the anatomy class. (Hopefully not for a few more years.) read more

Dr. Stein helped me with my tennis elbow . He was thorough and caring. The first visit he took the time to know me and what I hoped to gain from his treatment. He kept me well informed and helped me make educated decisions . My elbow had been painful for months. With his help, I'm now pain free. He emulates what doctors should strive to be. read more
