I was hospitalized four times in both St. Francis and North Shore hospitals and all the doctors couldn’t solve my problem. One visit with Dr. Setzen changed my life. His thorough examination, questions, and treatment gave new me my life back. Doctor Setzen and the staff are extremely professional, caring with a real interest to help you. I think of God every day that I found him and you will too.

My whole life I have been suffering from reoccurring strep throat and some nasty swollen tonsils that interrupted my sleep constantly. I also broke my nose a few times which made breathing out of the right side of my nose impossible as well as leaving me with a big bump on my nose. I went to see Dr. Setzen originally for my throat but when I found out he could also help with my deviated septum and appearance, I was thrilled. A few weeks after our consultation, in which he explained everything thoroughly, I was in surgery. Just over two weeks ago, I got a septoplasty, rhinoplasty, tonsillectomy, and work done on my sinuses and turbinates. I was nervous about getting my nose done however it was an amazing decision. I now can breathe through my nose and even just after two weeks, I am already so confident with the way my nose looks. Dr. Setzen did an amazing job and he really cares a lot about his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I would recommend Dr. Setzen to anyone. Since I was about 6 years old (I’m 17 now) I had chronic sinusitis and tried every nasal spray and antibiotic in the book. I was so frustrated, but then my boyfriend recommended doctor Setzen look at my sinuses and nose. He found that the cause was from my deviated septum. I went into surgery almost 2 weeks later. I had an excellent recovery and was barely swollen. It has been almost a month since my surgery and I can finally breathe after all these years. I feel all around so much healthier and happier. Dr. Setzen truly walks you through the whole surgery and recovery and makes you feel so comfortable. He is excellent and so so kind. If you’re having any sort of ear, nose, and throat problems, go to doctor Setzen you’ll feel so much better.

Several years ago, I went to Dr. Setzen because of frequent sinus headaches and infections. Within the first visit he diagnosed the issue, simply and clearly explained the procedure he recommended for me and scheduled my procedure with the greatest of ease. He certainly solved my long term issues with my sinus headaches and infections.

Highly recommend Dr. Setzen! I had a badly deviated septum for the past 10 years after a sports injury, leading to many breathing issues and chronic nasal congestion. He was able to correct all of my issues and correct the outside appearance of my nose as it was crooked from the injury. I’m extremely happy with the results. 10/10 recommend!

Dr. Setzen literally changed my life! I badly deviated my septum playing football in 1979 and lived with it until a few months ago. I am not a fan of surgery and was concerned about the recovery so I put off taking care of it until recently. I finally gave in to the surgery because I was waking up 5-6 times a night and never felt rested. Both my nasal passages were almost completely blocked. For three days post-op I was a somewhat uncomfortable but never in pain. Three week later I am sleeping deeply and breathing comfortably through my nose. Even exercise seems easier. I am upset with myself for waiting for so long!!! Dr. Setzen did a wonderful job and his sweet disposition made the whole process easier.

There is no one better than Dr. Setzen. He answered any and every single question prior to my surgery and took such amazing care of me. He knew how anxious I was about the surgery and he and his team put me at ease. Everything he explained to me pre surgery was exactly what happened post surgery
