Testimonials

I originally went to Dr. Setzen for a reoccurring ear infection which under Dr. Setzen’s care, has never again reoccurred. Having lived with an extremely uncomfortable deviated septum my entire adult life, Dr. Setzen recommended VivAer, a pain-free, non-invasive, in-office procedure, which offers relief from nasal airway obstruction. Once again, Dr. Setzen has given me relief from constant discomfort & the gift of a better quality of life.
Dr. Setzen is a genuinely kind-hearted, gracious, compassionate man & an extraordinary doctor, beyond compare.
He has my everlasting gratitude & my deepest respect.

I would highly recommend Dr. Setzen to anyone looking to undergo a rhinoplasty procedure. He made me feel reassured and confident during the entire process. I discussed what I liked about my nose and he truly exceeded all expectations. The recovery process was a breeze- no pain at all and barely any bruising or swelling. He was constantly checking in to see how my recovery was going, and answered any questions I had along the way. Choosing Dr. Setzen as my surgeon was the best decision I could have possibly made!
Dr. Setzen is without a doubt one of the most impressive doctors I have ever met.
I have had brain fog, fatigue, facial pain/pressure, runny nose and nasal congestion for years. I have visited several specialists, received a brain MRI and had even tried prescription medication, all without a proper diagnoses. Doctor’s told me it was normal and to just give it time, or to work on managing anxiety. No one was able to help me. I went to Dr. Setzen and he immediately was able to pinpoint the exact problem as well as the long-term solution. He was extremely thorough and was able to explain things in a way that I could understand easily. He performed septoplasty, endoscopic sinus surgery, turbinate reduction, eustachian tube ballooning, and balloon sinuplasty a couple weeks after our initial visit. He answered all of my post-op questions whenever I called the office. His bedside manner is unmatchable.
Additionally, Dr. Setzen placed tubes in my son’s ears as well as removed his adenoids. Again, any specialist we took my son to could not offer any help as to why my son was getting ear + sinus infections one right after the other. He was exceptional with my son and was the only surgeon that came into the waiting room several times to reassure us that the procedure was successful.
The Audiologist (Marcia) and Office Manager (Moya) are also absolutely incredible.
Dr. Setzen and his team genuinely care about improving he lives of their patients. Thank you to the entire team for all that you do!

Dr.Setzen is an amazing doctor. I had the VIVAER procedure in his office because I was congested very often. The procedure itself was painless but I was a mouth breather the evening of my procedure. I feel great now I can breath so much better. I recommend this procedure and I trust doctor Setzen. Thank you for making my life so much better!

I have a rare autoimmune disease which has done significant damage to my septum, and causes me problems with my sinuses, throat, and airway. Dr. Setzen has been the only doctor that has been able to give me relief. His vast knowledge, his skill in treating difficult cases and his wonderful bedside manner is what I had been looking for years. I’m so thankful to have found Dr Setzen and his wonderful staff.

I suffered from chronic left sided sinusitis with deviated nasal septum causing breathing difficulties and persistent prululent nasal discharge. Dr, Setzen performed corrective sinus and nasal septum surgery flawlessly with excellent post op results. His care remains the BEST and I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Setzen is fantastic. Kind, thorough, and a true expert. He performed sinus surgery on my stepfather to remove a mass and did an amazing job not just on the procedure but was available for all post-op questions which is so important. Highly recommend Dr. Setzen. You won’t be disappointed.

I had put off having sinus surgery for well over a year. I was fearful of the surgery and its aftermath . Finally, I could no longer endure not being able to breathe, the constant pressure, headaches and infections. It is now a few months since my surgery and I am able to breathe better than I have in years.I didn’t experience any pain, and while there was some discomfort, it wasn’t anywhere near what I had imagined! Dr. Setzen is reputed to be one of the leading surgeons in sinus surgery. Beyond his brilliance and exceptional skills, he is a remarkable human being. He is unfailingly patient, extremely generous with his time, honest, personable and totally accessible. Even his office manager, Moya, is incredibly supportive and compassionate.

The night before my surgery (septoplasty, turbinate, rhinoplasty), I had a family emergency and considered postponing. I called Dr. Setzen and his warmth and concern were overwhelming. He told me not to worry and that whatever decision was best for the family was good with him. The next morning when I told him I was going to go ahead with it, he reiterated that I could cancel if it didn’t feel the timing wasn’t right. What doctor does that? I had the surgery, and in the weeks following, he continued to check in on my family. I can never thank him enough for his care and compassion. My surgical experience is just as impressive. It was easy, smooth, and with his expertise and skill, I had no pain and a quick recovery. I never needed a painkiller! I can breathe like I’ve never breathed in my life. I’m so happy with my nose. It fits my face perfectly! So, to recap, Dr. Setzen is compassionate, caring, and one of the best surgeons around. Shout out to Moya who took amazing care of me too!
