Patient Testimonials

For years I had severe sinus infections and was in constant pain. about 15 years ago I was referred to Dr. Setzen and he recommended sinus surgery after a couple of treatments. The surgery was a complete success. I get check ups regularly and all is well. there was no scarring or black and blue and best of all no more pain and infections.

I can breath 10 times better Before I had the surgery on my deviated septum done I could breath but not as good. I was always stuffy and blowing my nose. Since I had my surgery on my deviated septum I can breath 10x better then I did before. I suggest to patients that need to get it done it was worth it. Dr. Setzen did a really excellent job on it and I can’t complain. I hope this will help a lot of people to get it done. Thank You.

Balloon Sinus Dilation After suffering nasal congestion, ear stuffiness and pain and sinus headaches for several years, I decided I needed to do something about it. I remembered Dr. Setzen who had removed my son’s tonsils some years earlier and promptly made an appointment. At my initial examination, he discovered how closed up my nasal passages had become and proceeded to explain a procedure he could perform to open them up. As it could be done in office and with no down time, I was very interested. The following week I returned to his office for my balloon sinus dilation which took about one hour. My nose was anesthetized and I was comfortable throughout the procedure. That evening, I didn’t even need Tylenol and the next morning I awoke without a sinus headache for the first time in years!! I have felt so much better ever since and I’m so glad I did it. Dr. Setzen called me at home to see how I was doing and I had several follow up visits to check the healing process.

Dr. Setzen is one of the most skilled and professional doctors I know. He has been treating me and my family for over ten years, and we could not be happier.. I first met with him for several sinus problems including polyps. He performed sinus surgery shortly thereafter, and all my symptoms went away and have not returned. This surgery was probably ten years ago.. Couldn’t ask for a better doctor that is genuinely more caring and takes pride in his work.

Chronic Sinusitis I have been a patient of Dr. Setzen for many years. He is thorough in his assessments and explains treatment protocol in a language lay people can understand. After suffering from chronic sinusitis for many years, Dr. Setzen performed surgery that has ultimately lessened the severity of my condition and limited the requirement for constant antibiotics. He is warm, friendly and engaging, and never rushes through his time with you. I continue to see Dr. Setzen for dermatitis of the ear canal and recommend him highly for any condition related to Otolaryngology.

Extraordinary MD Dr. Setzen has cared for me for over 20 years. He literally saved my life. I had serious sinus issues, which he cured through surgery and devotion. One of the finest doctors I have ever met.

My 6 year old daughter had terrible sinus issues, Doctor Setzen did Endoscopic surgery on her. She is now 9 years old and is still doing very well. Dr. Setzen is an excellent doctor, very thorough, kind and he listens to what you and your child have to say. I would recommend him for any ear nose and throat issues.

Life Changing Procedure Dr. Setzen was the first ENT to suggest a balloon sinus dilation for my sinus issues, which have plagued me for ages. The procedure was done in his office in less that 90 minutes....most of the time was for allowing the anesthesia to take effect. This was a life changing procedure. Relieved nasal congestion, facilitated breathing and minimized infections from colds. Kleenex has lost a good customer.

Amazing Doctor and Staff!! Highly Recommend!! I had a headache every day my whole life until I met Dr. Setzen. Dr. Setzen did sinus surgery on me and I have never felt better!!! He was professional and took great care of me. He took the time to explain to me every step of the process. This was my first surgery ever and he had a way of making me feel comfortable and at ease. I am so grateful to Dr. Setzen and his staff for eliminating my daily headaches!! I recommend Dr. Setzen to anyone who doesn't want to suffer any more!!

Michael Setzen saved my life. I was so happy afterwards, my wife had the surgery 2 months after I did. Dr. Setzen is by far the best doctor for anything sinus related. I was bed ridden for months. I had Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, followed up by a couple of debreavment appointments, and I got my life back. Endless headaches, blurred vision, congestion, misery no more. I have about 8 people in my life that I am completely grateful for- and Dr. Setzen is on that list. His hands are steady, his skill is unparalleled, and the results were astounding. What a heck of a guy with a cool South African accent! Just GREAT!
