I have been a patient of Dr. Setter's since 2011 and saw him for a torn rotor cuff and frozen shoulder. He is an extraordinary and gifted surgeon and has a genuine concern and high level of compassion for his patients. My case was complex and extremely painful and required multiple surgeries. His number one concern for me was pain control and what he could due to ensure I could continue to operate my funeral home and enjoy my life. He treats his patients like they are family and not just another injured person. He makes himself available to his patients until ALL their questions are answered. Yes, you do have to wait to see him, but its because he is in such high demand as a surgeon and his level of skills is one that warrants the wait. I wouldn't even consider seeing another doctor. I trust him wholeheartedly and know the decision about what procedures need to be done for me is what's best for me and for the fastest recovery. If you want the very best of what the medical field and surgery has to offer make the call to Upstate Orthopedics and ask for Dr. Kevin Setter. How many surgeons do you know would operate on a patient on a Saturday? One. Dr. Kevin Setter. I was in a great deal of pain and he took time away from his family to take care of me. Most other surgeons wouldn't have cared that I was hurting and scheduled it four weeks later. That speaks volumes about Dr. Kevin Setter. read more
