Paul Sethi's Online Review Report Card

I never been treated better!

Outstanding experience in every respect. Dr. Sethi and his ONS team go to incredible lengths to care for patients from at every step of the process. We could not have been more satisfied and grateful for his renowned surgical care, deep compassion and availability throughout the recovery process for my child following a complicated sports injury.

The best surgeon in the world. Went above and beyond to fix a badly fractured arm. Other doctors had given up, but not Dr Sethi.

Doctor Sethi came highly recommended by some of my tennis friends and I positively recommend him for shoulder surgery. I needed rotator cuff and biceps repair, Dr Sethi and his team (thanks Kevin!) took great care before, during and after surgery. I felt I was in good hands during the entire process. Today, 5 months to the day after my surgery, I had my first tennis hit and my arm and shoulder felt amazing.

Dr. Sethi was recommended to me and I am so grateful for that recommendation. I felt relaxed and comfortable from day one and had no qualms before the surgery to repair my rotator cuff and muscle. He is easy to talk to and clearly an expert in his field. Next thing to fix are my knees and he is the Dr. I will see. You are in excellent hands with Dr. Sethi. I HIGHLY recommend him

The BEST experience ever with Dr. Sethi and his team. They were nothing but extremely accommodating to me and told me not to hesitate with calling them or anything I would need or questions I would have once I was home recovering. I will recommend Dr. Sethi when it comes to any orthopedic surgery or issues that you have. He needs to be your first guy! First thing he said to me after surgery was “you’ll be up and back at it in no time!”

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Sethi. He clearly and completely explained the issue with my shoulder and laid out the treatment options. After every visit, I left his office confident that I was in skilled and caring hands. He and his staff were incredibly supportive before, during and after the arthroscopic procedure that has effectively eased my pain and increased my mobility. Dr. Sethi’s direct connection to the professionals of ONS physical therapy at the Harrison location made for a seamless transition from surgery to recovery.

Dr. Sethi is more than an outstanding orthopedic surgeon, he is an authentic person with excellent listening skills and superior surgical knowledge and skills. I am very grateful he worked his magic on my battle worn/torn shoulder. At 61 years old and one year post rotator cuff operation, Dr. Sethi has given me back full range of motion and strength. Thank You.

Great doctor and surgeon. Always takes the time to explain his thinking in a clear and easily understandable way. After following a conservative protocol, Dr. Sethi repaired my tendon and I have not felt better in 18 months. Also, ONS has friendly and competent staff in all aspects of its operations -- from scheduling appointments, dealing with insurance companies and providing easy to understand billing statements. A privilege to be able to see Dr. Sethi and his team!!!

I first met Dr. Sethi in early 2017 after injuring my right shoulder and having sleep disruption. The ONS MRI DX was a minor tear of the rotator cuff and labrum plus a bone spur. I was worried about missing time from a new job I'd started and Dr. Sethi told me I could give PT a try and he administered a cortisone shot for the inflammation and pain. No push towards surgery whatsoever. He examined me physically, showed me the X-Rays and MRI images, walked me through what was going on and gave me all the facts and info I needed to make my decision. In about 8 weeks I was done with PT and sleeping normally. Fast forward to March 2019 and I reinjured my shoulder, this time severely. The DX was a major tear but again, Dr. Sethi didn't push surgery. He did say no to another cortisone shot in case surgery became necessary but once again said I could try PT to avoid the downtime. In a few weeks of struggling through PT and sliding backwards we agreed on surgery and on June 5th Dr. Sethi did his thing. When I woke up and met with Dr. Sethi he told me the tears were much worse than the MRI had revealed but the good news was that my tissue was viable at the surgical margins making the repair easier and adding to his optimism that I'd have a good recovery. He had previously warned me "You're going to hate me for the 3 months following surgery." LOL - No but I quickly understood what he meant after the nerve blocker wore off, pain, discomfort, you're one handed, strapped to an ice cooling machine (definitely a great help). Make no mistake. It's horrible. Sleep? Forget it but that was already an issue for months and you're wearing a sling 24 hours a day for weeks so - yeah, it sucked. Dr. Sethi's pain management team and his PA's were in constant touch with me. At my first follow up Dr. Sethi was his usual optimistic and articulate self, showing me the pre and post-surgical images from the surgical camera. WOW! My rotator cuff was just shredded. Then I could see the repaired view, what a difference. It was time for PT and he was pleased with my progress to this early stage. Fast forward and Dr. Sethi just "discharged" me, I'm close to fully recovered almost 9 months post-op. Sleep returned by October of 2019, that was for me the worst part of the experience but within normal boundaries. I worked hard at PT and for this part of the recovery, Range of Motion and Strength gains came steadily week after week. I did the work and got the results. I'm now in the gym 3-4 times a week, do my Home Exercise program plus regular cardio and sensible lifting and have zero pain. Dr. Sethi is an acknowledged leader in his field. He's a straight talker, a funny and personable guy and he exudes quiet confidence while simultaneously listening to whatever feedback or questions you may have. I can't say enough about him and his team at ONS. People warned me about surgery and I know some friends who didn't have the same results as me. My days of throwing javelin and playing rugby are behind me but my every day living is pain free, sleeping like a baby and able to reach and lift and put on or take off my jackets, hit the gym with confidence and more. Paul is a great surgeon and he cares, that's obvious. Thank you Dr. Sethi!!
