I recently had a septoplasty, turbinectomy, and removal of a bone spur from my nasal passage. After suffering from chronic sinusitis and sinus pain/pressure I decided to get a second opinion and went to see Dr. Setzen. From the moment I met Dr. Setzen I felt at ease and he explained all of my options and that my issues would require surgery as I was not finding relief from nasal sprays and medications. I had surgery three weeks ago and feel great- my sinus issues are gone. I recovered very quickly from the surgery and would highly recommend Dr. Setzen. He is phenomenal and his staff is so helpful!

The staff and Dr Setzen were extremely patient and kind to my son. Dr Setzen explained all findings thoroughly and explained necessary procedures that would be needed to address my son's condition. He also suggested to have second opinion if we felt it was warranted which made me feel he was very trustworthy. He performed an Adenoidectomy, Frenectomy and resection of Turbinate's at the Ambulatory Surgical Center at Northwwell Manhasset. Dr Setzen explained everything in detail to my son, me and my husband before the surgery. He made sure he was comfortable and answered all of his questions. The OR staff were also very kind and efficient. I was able to walk him into the OR and stay with him until the anesthesia was administered. This alleviated all of his and my pre-op fears. The surgery was done in less than an hour. He had a mild sore throat that day in which Tylenol worked. Minimal nasal drainage. He was able to go to his friends pool party two days later with no problems. We had follow up one week later at Dr Setzens office with no complications. Our speech therapist said "The Doctor did a great job" Overall great experience. As a Mom and a registered nurse for 27 years, I would have to say that Dr Setzen has to be one of the Best ENT surgeons that I have ever known. When I asked the other nurses I worked with about him, they all said the same thing "Your son will be in the best of hands". Thank you Dr Setzen and staff, Mary Stallone (P.J.'s Mom)

I was told I had really bad snoring. Had surgery 5 weeks ago, have not snored since then. I highly recommend this office. Dr. Setzen as well as the office staff extremely helpful and accommodating from the first time I stepped into the office.

Dr. Setzen has the knowledge, the skills, and the values to be an exemplary surgeon and physician. About 15 years ago he operated on me to correct a deviated septum and to remove nasal polyps, and I've been seeing him ever since for all of my ENT needs. Besides being more than competent, Dr. Setzen has a delightful "bedside manner" and knows how to put his patients at ease to minimize their anxiety.

I had endoscopic sinus surgery about 1.5 years ago and I still feel great! I'm sleeping better at night, and breathing better during the day. I am no longer having constant sinus infections and I am sooo happy I had Dr. Setzen perform my surgery!

Sinus Infections Helped with Surgery! I suffered for years from : *Chronic Sinusitis *Nasal Congestion *Nasal Polyps Dr. Setzen saved me and improved my quality of life. The only thing helped me was surgery - Endoscopic Sinus surgery Balloon sinus dilation I’m a new man. It was a relatively painless procedure and quick recovery time. I no longer get sinus infections and can breathe! I could not believe the difference after surgery. Anyone suffering from sinus issues should be under Dr. Setzen’s care!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Michael Setzen for many years. I have a chronic nasal condition and have needed several surgeries to remove reoccurring polyps. All surgeries were performed by Dr. Setzen with great success. He has always shown great care, deep understanding of the problem and how to treat it. In addition, Dr. Setzen performed reconstructive surgery on my son’s nose a few years ago. My son had an extremely severe deviated septum from a childhood injury. He had only 5 to 10% breathing capability. It was a challenging and complex surgery that most doctors would not have even attempted. It was a 100% successful surgery, and my son has been able to breathe freely ever since. To put it simply - brilliant mind, golden hands, beautiful personality. Thank you Dr. Setzen! Mikhail Levin

Nasal Congestion and Sinusitis Operated on 25 Years Ago and Still Doing Well For years I had struggled with chronic nasal congestion and sinusitis. I visited my internist and ENT more times than I could count and spent more time on antibiotics than off. I was sick frequently and rarely able to breathe properly. After I was referred to Dr. Michael Setzen, everything began to change, though. He examined me and recommended I undergo surgery, a relatively new procedure at the time. The surgery made a tremendous difference in my life. I was able to stop relying so heavily on antibiotics and was able to breathe through my nose for the first time in a long time. Dr. Setzen was kind and supportive throughout the entire process from our initial meeting to post-surgical follow-ups. He not only provided excellent medical care, but was attentive and made sure I had all of the information I needed. At the time, the recovery was a bit of a challenge, but after just a week, I started to see improvement. The sophistication of the procedure has grown in leaps and bounds since then and I have heard countless stories from others about how my experience would be an even more positive one today. I am very grateful for Dr. Setzen’s care and his role in greatly improving my health and quality of life. I strongly encourage anyone who battles chronic congestion and sinusitis to see Dr. Setzen and find out if you’re a candidate for surgery – you will not regret it.
