What People Say About Us!
Dr. Setzen delivers on his promises. On my first appointment, he did a thorough exam including a scan. He is gentle and after spending some time with me, he suggested surgery to correct anatomical problems. I agreed as I was happy to get a clear explanation for long-term issues related to breathing, smell, and postnasal drip. I had surgery on November 17 for a deviated septum, turbinates, nasal stenosis, and sinus inflammation. I am most grateful for Dr. Setzen as he delivered on ALL his promises. The first week is the most difficult as the nose is packed making it difficult to speak, sleep and breathe. The most significant comment is that I experienced no pain from the surgery! Dr. Setzen provided advice that made the recovery process go a lot smoother. For example, drinking plenty of water, cough drops and lip balm made a whole difference as they provided much-needed comfort and relief. Dr. Setzen and Moya showed so much concern and compassion throughout the whole process.
