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.

Amazing man
This doctor is the first one that has made me feel like there was actually in answer to why my body felt the way it did and that it wasn’t just in my head. I would recommend him to anyone looking for further answers with the chronic illness issues if they think it could be genetics related.

The man is a Genius
I met Dr. Aubrey M years back to investigate my failing health, after a thorough review of my medical history, my family history & an exam as well as labs during a very long and complete visit with him, I finally got the answers that made sense! Though there is no cure, I have answers & know what to look for & how to proceed medically with my conditions, Dr. M makes his suggestions for everyday care & keeps his line of communication open to you after your visits to assist you & your doctors in decision making. He is a genius for real, an author, lecturer, and he is an “old school” character and he knows his stuff! Yes he can be abrupt at times while asking hundreds of questions because there is a LOT of them and he is looking for specific answers. If it weren’t for Dr. M I wouldn’t have the answers I needed. There’s not much that can be done for EDS patients but knowledge is power. I respect his intelligence and his feedback. I’ve never had an issue with him or his office.

Getting answers
After waiting decades for an answer and being ignored by multiple health care providers, Dr. Milunsky took a detailed personal and family history to link my multiple chronic health issues to a connective tissue disorder. He and his office staff advocated for months with my insurance company to get the necessary testing covered. It was a relief to be listened to and believed about my own body and experiences and to be cared for by such a professional and knowledgeable team.

What a physician should be!
Dr. Milunsky has restored my faith in physicians. It wears a person down being told their whole lives that it is "all in their head". Dr. M questions why something is happening and treats the person as an individual taking their unique issues into consideration and connecting the dots where other doctors see one thing at a time. My life will be different now with a diagnosis I am able to treat accordingly. He gives opportunity to expand on things once the initial screen is complete. I hope people do not take his knowledge and thoroughness for rudeness. Dr. Milunsky was compassionate, understanding, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. Would recommend his office for anyone looking for a geneticist.

He is obviously a very knowledgeable man. He knows exactly what he needs to know in order to arrive at the proper diagnosis. Random conversation, and long storied explanations are discouraged. It is understandable that talking must be kept on track, but I can also understand that people feel offended if he is blunt with them. I didn’t mind as I was there for his expertise and he was very clear from the beginning how things would go and that he was looking solely for yes and no answers. An opportunity for questions was provided after he had completed his interview and assessment. He was very kind to me, and also apologized that my previous experiences with other providers had been so negative. I would go back a hundred times, and am very thankful to have finally gotten answers I could no find elsewhere.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Dr. Aubrey Milunsky oscillates between knowledgable, thoughtful practitioner, and unbelievably rude, ignorant, and frankly egotistical. While his diagnosis has changed my life, and I appreciated the thoughtful pieces of our discussions. If possible, I recommend seeing a doctor elsewhere.

Such a thorough initial appointment. Asks lots of questions regarding symptoms, history, family history, and much more. He actively listens to what you have to say. He and his staff are always prompt with returning calls and emails. It's such a relief to have a doctor like him!!

About Me

care philosophy

In many of my books I have recognized virtually all the angst, concern , worry, hope and endless other emotions about genetic disorders. I am fully aware of the difficulties people face in seeking or discovering a genetic disorder. We provide compassionate care & support & do not direct a patient's decision-making.
