Stetson B William, MD

You can trust Dr. Stetson as a physician and surgeon. He will not put you under the knife until he knows for sure. I could of had a five hour shoulder surgery but, Dr. Stetson said «let’s try Orthoscopic surgery and see how it works». It has worked for the past four years. I am buying time with my severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. Professional staff and lovely office and so close to home. I don’t have to drive for hours. I RECOMMEND DR STETSON!!!

I use Unilocal for almost everything I do when purchasing or servicing some product. I did an extensive review of Stetson Powell Orthpedics before going. I was somewhat impressed so I was glad to be going there. Dr. Stetson was my doctor.
I arrived for my appointment a little ahead of schedule. I was greeted nicely by the receptionist. It took a bit to get into the room (All doctor offices and appointmens take a long time and are usually over, no big deal). I was nicely greeted by Dr. Stetson’s assistant. She went over a few things about my injury. Dr. Stetson came in a short time later and went over my xray and MRI (that i had prior). He observed an issue with my knee and requested a few more xrays at their office. The X-​Ray tech was friendly.
A short time later, Dr. Stetson confirmed my knee issues and went over all the options. He answered any questions that I had. He was very patient and caring.
This is the first time I had been at this office. Every single person at Stetson Powell was friendly, shook hands and asked how you were doing. Every person cared and made the visit comforting. I was very impressed with their professionalism. I ll probably have an upcoming surgery and will not have any reservations.
If you are looking for a good, friendly, and professional orthopedic surgeons, I highly recommend Stetson Powell and Dr. Stetson himself. Thank you again.

I didn’t have surgery with Dr. Stetson, so I can’t comment on how he is as a surgeon– but I think that helps add to his credibility. Rather than recommend surgery, which is where the money is for orthopedists, he looked at my knee and at my MRI and suggested that we try physical therapy first, because he thought I might be able to make a full recovery without resorting to surgery. For that alone, I’d highly recommend him. If you can find a doctor who will suggest a nonsurgical route first, why not try it, right? You have nothing to lose. Furthermore, Dr. Stetson walked me through my MRI, pointing out key elements and explaining what we were looking at. He was nice/​comforting while at the same time being realistic about my options, which I appreciated.
The only negative thing I could say is that he didn’t linger at all. If I hadn’t pressed him with questions, it probably would’ve been a very short visit. To his credit, though, when I asked questions, he didn’t act rushed or very quickly brush through an answer. He took the time to answer them in full. If you come visit, I recommend that you have questions prepared and that you ask them, otherwise you might have a different experience than I did. In my experience though, most doctors are crazy booked and so most of them seem rushed, so it’s not something I hold against Dr. Stetson, especially since he did answer all of my questions.
If you look up Dr. Stetsons credentials, you see that he was the team physician for the US men’s and women’s olympic volleyball teams, as well as being a teacher (at USC) and a former athlete. That’s quite a resume. Since he was a former athlete and he works with athletes, I feel like he understands the desire to get back to sports and that he can get you back onto the court.
