He is such a humble, down to earth doctor who explained everything thoroughly and put her mind at ease. He has amazing bedside manner and he listens to the patient with empathy. The surgery and recovery went smooth, I wholeheartedly recommend him. He provides the type of care that you just don't see with doctors these days. It is so rare to have such a caring surgeon.

East Bay Hand Medical Center provided me with the best care I have ever received. After over a…read moredecade of chronic carpal and cubital tunnel pain and many attempts to resolve it non-surgically, Dr. Stein and his team took the time to offer me a permanent solution to my pain. They did not enter upon surgery lightly and had me go for a neurological test to be sure. I ended up having surgery of both hands and elbows and am recovering well and quickly. Dr. Stein's bedside manner is excellent and he made me feel seen and my pain acknowledged. As a black woman, I have not always had the most positive experiences in health care so to have this one be so good was almost overwhelming. All of the nurses and PAs treated me with the upmost respect and care. A special shout out to Jen, Lara and Beth, all of whom cared for me as if I were their family. Thank you to Jen especially for all of her work and giving me the tools and authorizing the tests that aided in my decision to go forward with the surgery. And finally to Dr. Stein, I am forever grateful for his expertise and kindness. I am able to use my hands again, something I will never take for granted. If you are thinking of going somewhere else, don't. This is the place to go and you will not regret it.

This practice is discharge-happy…read more I came in for a pinky fracture in 2021. Went through about 6 sessions of therapy. My range of motion never returned back to normal despite the false reassurance by Dr. Stein. The therapists requested my insurance for more therapy sessions so they could try something different to see if they could get my full range of motion back. Even though my insurance approved the sessions, Jenn the PA ended up canceling my sessions being adamant saying I didn't need them. Then she unprofessionally kept arguing with me and said there's nothing else they would be willing to do to remedy the situation. I left a very frustrating voicemail for her asking why they would treat me like that. Not only did she not reply, but a week later, I received a discharge letter in the mail. Fast forward to this week, I had another injury to my hand. Knowing I have limited transportation and access to another hand clinic , I tried calling EB Hand again. I explained the discharge history to the receptionist, but she told me there was no record of me being discharged on file. So then I sent my referral to them and proceeded to book the appointment. I get three hasty call attempts maybe an hour later basically telling me they dug up files from 5 years ago saying I was discharged from their practice. I would avoid this practice like the plague. They mostly deal with Worker's Comp patients, and all they want to do is collect money from your insurance. Whether or not you experience a full recovery or they live up to their treatment promises is of absolutely NO PRIORITY to them. Beware! Zero stars for the medical staff. The one star is for Mike and Joe, the therapists, who were always great to me.

We've had to chase down basic information that should have been handled proactively.

Unfortunately, the poor service at the front desk seriously undermines the experience and creates unnecessary stress. Great PTs, but the administrative service is completely broken and needs major improvement.

To this day, I still recommend him to anyone I meet that is in need of a spine surgeon. He is super funny, kind, smart, has excellent bedside manner and is incredibly talented in his field. He cares about his patients. Truly, I can't imagine how anyone could think otherwise. I was too young for spine surgery then (20s) but he still took my concerns seriously. He went above and beyond to find the cause of my pain, while also referring me out for treatments and second opinions. Those years were such a difficult time in my life and if it weren't for him, I'm not sure how I would've gotten through it. Thanks doc!

Then when I get there, it's a bunch of papers to fill out I was a new patient not an existing patient Waited an hour to get in. Then when I get in Dr was very short with me only there for like two minutes the place I guess didn't send over the imaging but it seems like they would've found all that out before I got there I don't wanna go back, I don't feel like I got good care. I had actually been there before in 2020 they told me at least then he took x-rays this time he did nothing I was sent to find out if I needed surgery because the injections are no longer working, but he make it seem like nothing is wrong with me.

His displayed minimal care or concern for symptoms that developed from the surgery.Time to retire doctor ? Reviews matter- I admit I never looked at them before agreeing to surgery.Only after , when his attitude and style was evident did I look at reviews- I urge anyone considering surgery to slowly check reviews and decide if this MD would be who you want to perform surgery on you.

Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Stein has not been a pleasant one. I also worked in the…read morehealthcare industry and would like to have compassion for other healthcare workers, but this doctor is definitely not a people person. Due to both arms and my right elbow injury, his diagnosis was that it was due to my bone structure and genetic makeup. This was new to me since I had never heard that before. I am a larger guy, I don't use my hands and arms for strenuous work, healthy, and work out 3x/week with an experienced coach--nothing out of the ordinary. Working with thousands of people in healthcare and other fields, we come across many different ailments, injuries, and stories. At first, I took it as new education and considered that perhaps my DNA structure and genetics were contributing to my injury and pain. I mentioned this to colleagues, other doctors at work, and experienced professionals, and they said they had never heard of this before. While not completely ruled out, it was unusual. After receiving my MRIs and X-rays, I showed up for my appointment and waited close to 2 hours, which is excessive considering it was scheduled. When I was finally called in, Dr. Stein did not greet me and instead commented about having to skip his lunch break due to a busy day. I understand demanding schedules, but there was no acknowledgment that patients are also taking time out of their lives--missing work, managing responsibilities, and traveling to appointments. A simple courtesy call from staff would have gone a long way. I remained calm and open-minded. I noticed another patient leaving unhappy. When I went in, I asked if he could check my other arm, as I had started experiencing soreness. He immediately dismissed it, saying nothing would show up and did not examine it. Within a week, that same arm developed increased pain and numbness, despite avoiding heavy use and refraining from working out. I've met many professionals like Dr. Stein, and it was clear that his level of expertise contributes to an ego that comes across as dismissive. He appeared rushed and condescending during all visits. On my final visit, while discussing surgery scheduling, I asked additional questions to better understand the procedure. He said he only had limited time to answer. After waiting over 2 hours, I would expect at least 15 minutes of clear communication before a procedure that carries risks. I understand his practice is a business, but business also requires trust, communication, and respect. Patients should feel confident in the person operating on them. Comments he made about preferring certain insurance because they paid more were unprofessional. Regardless, he will be receiving a large sum for surgery. While I believe he has the technical ability to perform surgery, I am not comfortable with someone who is rushed and potentially distracted. If appointments are rushed, I wouldn't want someone to rush through a surgical procedure just to get to another appointment or procedure. This leaves more room for error. The reality is doctors cannot guarantee outcomes, but they are responsible for proper care, communication, and follow-up. Once you sign surgical paperwork, you waive many rights--even in cases of error. If there were stronger accountability systems now, I believe interactions like this would be different. And Dr Stein would treat his patients with more respect. Also work with many clients who are also legal representatives, and although there are more legal avenues being put into place if something goes wrong, but I would prefer not to be in that position due to lack of accountability or care. His staff seemed disengaged and under pressure. I've worked in environments where teams create a welcoming atmosphere--this did not feel like one. The way he spoke to his staff suggested stress and tension. It seems like a 50/50 chance of a smooth and full recovery without complications from him or his staff during follow-up. After reading additional reviews, my experience seems consistent with others, which validated my instincts to seek another surgeon who felt more respectful. *To previous and future patients: trust your observations and instincts. If Andrew Stein feels like the right fit, he may help you. If not, you have options. Sometimes going a little further for the right provider makes all the difference. I appreciate everyone who has shared their honest experiences.
