"I am so glad that he recommended that I lose weight first. It was the best thing that I could’ve done for myself... Thank you Dr. Mahboubian!"

— WebMD patient review for Dr. Mahboubian

"Dr. Stetson is an amazing, compassionate surgeon who listens to his patient’s needs. He took a conservative approach for a few months. When that didn’t work, he did surgery on my knee. My surgery was successful and I’m no longer in pain."

— Healthgrades patient review for Dr. Stetson

"Although I concur with some of the comments regarding Dr. Stetson's bedside manner, charming and friendly initially aggressively condescending when challenged, the reasons for my disappointment relate to his decisions during my surgery."
