Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
He saved my life 4 years later and I feel great and lucky to have had him do my heart surgery

I drove two hours each way to meet Dr. Setser. He was referred to me by my previous doctor who is retiring. He was, by far, the rudest, most dismissive doctor I have ever encountered. Zero bed side manner. Will never return!

Dr. Setser is kind and compassionate he really knows how to put you at ease. He explained everything in a way I could understand. He took the time to answer all my questions. His nurse Sabrina is very knowledgeable and is also very compassionate. My husband was very stubborn and she joked with him and made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Setser.

Dr. Setser has an easy going personality, very personable, friendly and above all professionally engaging. He took the time to discussion the possibilities of exploring my underlining medical situation. He reviewed labs, scans and my medical record. It was important for him to make sure that my wife and I were aware of the procedure and recovery time, so as to be on the same page. I strongly recommend Dr. Setser.

Dr. Setser has been fantastic to work with. I am a few weeks out from OHS and he has been very thoughtful and thorough in preparing me for surgery. He even sent me to get a second opinion with a surgeon at the U of U.
Excellent Doctor.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Setser?
Dr. Setser is very knowledgeable and very personable. He was very helpful and eased my stress level. No one wants to be told they have an aneurysm and have to see a surgeon, however he eased that stress by letting me know that it was not at a dangerous size and that surveillance was the best way to go. I appreciated his expertise and kindness. His office staff were also very excellent and if you have to see a cardiothoracic surgeon I highly recommend Dr. Setser.
