Patient Testimonials

Excellent Care/Best DOCTOR I am a patient of Dr.Setzen for over one year-have had Chronic Sinusitis for over twenty years plus two sinus surgeries by other ENT docs! I am so glad that I switched to Dr. Setzen, I feel that he is dedicated, extremely knowledgeable, & very skilled at what he does! Had Balloon sinus dilation one month ago b/c my frontal sinuses were blocked & at same time had Eustachian Tube Dilation done under local anesthesia in office! Did very well during procedure & after it, no down time! Had CT scan done in his office which is a time saver! This was done 1 week before I had ballon dilation done & scan showed I had blocked openings to my Frontal sinuses! Dr.Setzen is friendly & easy to talk to! His staff, Catherine & Moia are very pleasant! I finally have relief from the chronic sinusitis & my Eustachian tube is patent. I can hear again! So, Yes, I highly recommend Dr. Setzen, he has helped me feel better than I have in years!!!

Excellent doctor. Great care. Dr. Setzen operated on my sinuses over 20 years ago and it changed my life. My breathing was greatly improved and I got very few sinus infections. (One every 5 years compared to several a year before my surgery.) Recently I got a persistent infection that would not resolve and went back to Dr. Setzen. He performed sinus surgery on me, and the problem resolved. Dr. Setzen inspires confidence. He has been doing this work for decades. In addition, he is compassionate and very conscientious. He is very serious about post operative care as well. Take your time with recovery and follow his directions. I recommend Dr. Setzen very highly.

Deviated Septum Patient Testimonial We have been going to Dr. Setzen since before my wife and I had children (our children are now done with college and working). Dr. Setzen performed surgery to correct a deviated septum for my wife and both of our sons. He has treated all of us through the years whenever we had sinus infections and other ear / nose / throat medical issues. He has always been the most professional, pleasant person imaginable. Whenever we go to him, he accurately diagnoses the root cause of our issues and the treatment he subsequently prescribes for us cures us rapidly. He is very patient, he listens carefully, he is compassionate, and he has an outstanding bedside manner with his patients. Not only is he an outstanding specialist that we would recommend to anyone, but his staff is also compassionate and is very efficient as well. In summary, going to Dr. Setzen is always a pleasant and worthwhile experience. Thank you, Dr. Setzen!

Dr. Setzen performed my sinus surgery recently and I have never felt better. I had chronic headaches, sinus infections and was constantly sick. It cleared up all the pressure. Dr. Setzen is fantastic and I would highly recommend him for general ENT but most importantly the type of complex sinus surgery case that he performed on me.

Sinus Treatment Testimonial I have been seeing Dr. Setzen for well over 10 years and he literally saved me from serious sinus surgery. I came to see him for the first time to secure a second opinion from a doctor who recommended surgery after I had experienced years of sinus infections. Dr. Setzen confirmed my sinus problems but came up with an approach that combined seeing an allergist and regular visits to him for monitoring my sinus condition rather than surgery. In short order I stopped having sinus infections and have never felt better. Dr. Setzen provides the most up-to-date treatment options. He has made a very positive contribution to my long-term health.

I've had a history of sinus and breathing problems since childhood. After pills, sprays, and all of the other gimmicks I had Dr. Setzen treat me for a deviated septum and he cleaned out my sinuses ten years ago. Foolishly I stopped office visits and my problems came back only this time with no sense of smell or taste. After living in misery I went back to Dr. Setzen and he removed many polyps. now I can smell, taste and breath with no over the counter medicines. If you have sinus problems go see Dr. Setzen!

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!

Sinus surgery works! Ten years ago I was getting sinus infections every other month. Finally I took Dr. Setzen's advice and had sinus surgery. It has been almost ten years and I have not had a sinus infection since! Dr. Setzen was patient, caring and a great surgeon. I have now come to him, ten years later, with a totally separate issue regarding my ear, again he has been thorough in examining my condition and listening to my symptoms. I feel confident that he will help me recover from this as well. I highly recommend Dr. Setzen for any ear, nose or throat issue you may have.

I was very fortunate to meet Dr. Setzen through my friend Richard Miranda. I went to Dr. Setzen because of a tumor I had growing on the right side of my face. Needless to say I was scared, and had a tremendous amount of anxiety. Dr. Setzen made me feel very comfortable through his great sense of compassion. The doctor diagnosed the problem and put me in the right direction resulting in a total cure of this serious situation. The tumor had to be removed because it was attached to my parotid gland on the right side of my face.
