Dr. Bill Stetson is an excellant orthopedic doctor and surgeon. I had ACL reconstructive surgery in November 2021. It was was an autograft of my patellar tendon. I am progressing well due to the regular visits to Dr. Stetson and physical therapy. He is truly a skilled and empathetic doctor who cares about his patients

Dr. Stetson is a remarkable Doctor! His staff is very professional and compassionate to your needs. I went in for an elbow issue and carpal tunnel issue and he was able to successfully treat both issues. He lets you know your options and directs you accordingly but let's you make the ultimate decision on your care. Like my cardiologist I wouldn't go elsewhere for my orthopedic needs! When you find the right Doctor stick with them!

If you are looking for an amazing shoulder/ knee doc, Dr. Stetson should be your go-to doctor! I was referred to him via my Physical therapist for shoulder pain after an accident and very grateful I went to his office. He and his team was quick to diagnose, after they ran X-rays and MRI in house. They advise it was a partially torn labrum and advised PT was the best course of action. I had a few follow up visits and the shoulder is now back to 100%.

During the visits, both he and his staff were very professional, happy to help, and quick to see me. Also, Dr. Stetson was always so warm, friendly, and carrying during each visit to make sure I was getting the best service/ expert option.

Dr Stetson has been the best orthopedic surgeon. He takes surgery as a last resort, and experience has helped me recover from many sports, workout, and daily overuse injuries. Right shoulder impingement, left shoulder dislocation with torn rotator cuff and labrum, knee drains, elbow pain. The facility and staff are always friendly, and they are caring as if you're family.

Update: Dr. Stetson replied by adding a false statement, even he doesn't know how many times I was in their office. Wish I could give zero star to them. Advising peace to me. don't scam then. Please avoid this place. Stetson Powell uses Dr aides and charges insurance companies specialty fees, obviously scamming companies. None of the doctors have seen the actual patient.
