Milton W. Sterling II's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Sterling is an excellent doctor. Years ago, I underwent bunion surgery. Prior to going to any doctor concerning my foot problem, I had so many horror stories about bunion surgery. The stories made me very nervous about visiting a doctor about my problem. Someone suggested that I go to Dr. Sterling. That was one of the best decisions that I have made. He did an excellent job, and it wasn't horribly painful after the surgery. When I and my husband have foot problems, our preference is Dr. Milton Sterling.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Sterling since 2010. He is about to do my 4th surgery in a couple days. He is hands down one of the best dr I have ever seen. He listens to his patients and tries to do everything he can to help with your issues. Would 100% recommend.

Dr. Sterling is Awesome. He has been treating me for a few years now and has performed surgery on my right foot. He always enters the room with a smile and has an excellent bedside manner.

Dr. Sterling is WONDERFUL. He has an excellent “bedside manner” and explains things clearly and offers realistic suggestions. I have been dealing with severe plantar fasciitis for a year, and after my ortho didn’t offer much help, I went to Dr Sterling based on recommendations. He was initially conservative in the approach (small cortisone shot in each foot, better insoles (but not expensive), splint to wear for short periods of time to stretch out the tendons, and icing the foot) which completely remedied one foot. The other one required another (bigger dose) shot of cortisone, which helped a great deal. I’m not yet back to 100%, largely due to my own laziness and not following protocol- but when I went for my follow up he commiserated that it can be hard to do that consistently, and instead of making me feel non-compliant, encouraged me to stay the course- saying he’d been in the same boat and knows it’s hard to find the time, but it made the difference for him. He also made what is potentially an extremely uncomfortable shot bearable. I can’t recommend him enough!Athens office staff are very nice, waiting room is not crowded, and I had a fabulous experience.

Nailed the source of the issues.

Dr. Sterling is an excellent and caring doctor.

Dr. Sterling and his staff were easy to work with, polite, and professional.I would recommend them to anyone needing a podiatrist.

He explains everything very well. He takes the time to answer all questions or concerns. He is very knowledgeable.

Fantastic podiatrist. I've been using Dr. Sterling for years.

Really like Dr. Sterling! Great personality and very knowledgeable. Kind and attentive to help me.

Great experience and doctor! Highly recommended

Dr Sterling is a very compassionate, thorough and informative Doctor. I will only see him when I need podiatry care.

Dr. Sterling was an excellent surgeon. I have done so well. I had no swelling and minimal discomfort. I was back in a shoe in 2 weeks (spur on top of my foot). He had come highly recommended by friends and he did not disappoint. I was touched that he prayed with me prior to my surgery. I've never had a surgeon ask if he could pray with me. I would highly recommend him!

Friendly, efficient and answered my questions thoroughly. Would definitely recommend to family.

A no nonsense doctor. Knows his business. Very good interaction with patients...

The experience was excellent.

Dr. Sterling and his staff are absolutely the best. Dr. Sterling is very caring and attentive. I run quite a bit and he will give me advice on the best shoes to wear for running. I have had three surgeries on my feet that he performed - two on one and one on the other. He did a great job explaining the surgeries beforehand and what to expect afterwards. My wife has also seen Dr. Sterling for foot issues. He is like an extended member of our family. I have injured myself running a few times and he is good at lecturing me on the importance of resting to heal up, but will laugh with me at my stubbornness. He is a doctor that actually cares about his patients. His nurse, Tonya, is super nice and just as personable as he is.The only concern I have sometimes is the wait to get an appointment when I need help. When I get injured from running, I need to see Dr. Sterling, but the appointments are sometimes a few weeks out. I talked with him last time I saw him a few weeks ago about this and he said they are working to improve this.

Dr. Sterling, has seen me off and on for quite a few years. He is warm, smart, and compassionate person as well as doctor. Always a welcome smile even under the face mask. He might be booked to see him but I can tell it’s for the same reasons I see him. He is a dang good orthopedic doctor! High five Dr. Milton Sterling!!

Dr. Sterling is professional, prompt, knowledgeable, and cares. He works with you to make sure you're on the treatment path you need to recover.

Highly recommend Dr Sterling. Have visited several times over the years. Great DR.
