Dr. Milstead is an exemplary surgeon & human being. In 1984, when I was 16, I cut my right thumb off in a table saw accident. Dr. Milstead took care of my like I was his own child. Unfortunately the saw did too much damage to my thumb so it had to be removed 7 days after Dr. Milstead reattached it. For the next 5 years Dr. Milstead used his GREAT talents to allow me to once again be able fully use my right hand again. I was right handed and thanks to Dr. Milstead still right handed. I will ALWAYS be appreciative to Dr. Milstead for what he has done for me. I continue to see Dr. Milstead from time to time over the last 30 years and I consider him a friend. I have trusted him to perform surgery on my hand over 10 times. I can't say enough about how a AWESOME Doctor and person he is.

We have another Dr. Walter Palmer here. If you condone shooting tamed & captive wild cats for fun, support this guy's practice: "And then there is Dr. Sonny Milstead, an orthopedic surgeon from Shreveport, Louisiana, who made national TV news this past September [1995] when the Fund for Animals obtained a videotape of his canned cat hunt at a game ranch near Fredericksburg, Texas. After riding out to the lion pen in a pickup truck, Dr. Sonny approaches the trophy as it reclines trustingly on the ground. Dr. Sonny is protected by backup gunners. When Dr. Sonny shoots, the lion leaps to his feet, clawing dirt. You can see a divot fly from his flank as the heavy bullet slams home. Dr. Sonny fires twice more; the lion dies. Nothing in the least illegal about that.But the tape also shows Dr. Sonny shooting a penned Bengal tiger, an endangered species, as it rests beneath a tree. At the first shot the big cat gets up and runs to the right, dragging its shattered hindquarters. When Dr. Sonny shoots again it somersaults three or four times. Dr. Sonny cautiously approaches, prods the dead trophy with his gun barrel, then flashes the thumbs-up sign"- Canned Hunts by Ted WilliamsMilsstead along with the owner of the hunting ranch and others involved were arrested for the illegal shooting of the tiger - he was fined and served no jail time. According to the arresting agent none of the men showed any remorse other than for being caught
