After 7 months of excruciating leg pain, I am now pain free thanks to Dr. Stetson! I know that there will be a slow process to achieve no restrictions but I am feeling so good and so thankful I trusted Dr. Stetson. I feel like I can do PT standing on my head and am happy my family and friends feel they have old me back...fun loving and happy! I am so thankful to be one of his patients

Dr. Stetson really made me feel at ease. And answered all my questions I did not feel rushed at all and he's very educational. I would highly recommend him.

I checked around and Dr Stetson is one of the top in his field in Oklahoma. He has wide respect by this patients and peers in the Medical field. I certainly felt I was very well taken care of. He tries to find solutions to health issues that do not require surgery, but if that is the only solution you can expect marvelous care. He also is such a good listener! What a great guy and Doctor!

I like Dr. Stetson. He made me feel comfortable during my appointment with him. He listened to all my concerns and explained the answers where I could understand them. He also has a sense of humor too. If I have to have surgery, I feel absolutely comfortable with him doing it.

Dr. Stetson operated on me in July 2018. When I first saw him, he rattled off my symptoms without me saying a word. I just sat there with my jaw on the floor so to speak. He is AWESOME!! I don't know the professional term but he did a laminectomy and fusion of my cervical spine C-2 to T-2. I was in the hospital about 4 days. Recovery was carefully watched at home by my sister, a nurse, and I had physical and occupational therapy for several months. I am so much span class="textMainBold"er today than I have been for years. I can do more than I ever thought I could do. I will never be 100% because my neck was so bad to begin with but everything I have got back i owe to Dr. Stetson and I would go back to him in a heartbeat. The man and his magic hands are just incredible.

Dr. Stetson is a fantastic surgeon who is very easy to talk with. He ensured that I knew all of the details for the procedure I was needing. Great follow up after surgery and beyond. His staff is top notch and very easy to work with. I have recommended him to all family and friends who suffer from lower back pain. Could not ask for a better individual in your time of need. Thank you sir.

i had surgery on my back by Dr. Stetson several years ago and I had come to him for a recheck and to talk about the pain I was having. I knew that the surgery would not stop all the pain when I had it; but it had started getting worse again. He sent me for a Ct scan and then we talked about the alternatives I have now. i was pleased that he did not automatically recommend an aggressive surgery which again may or may not solve the problem. I got the appointment when I wanted it and all the prepaperwork was done ahead of time. My appointment was on time and Drl Stetson took his time explaining my ooptions to me in a manner I could easily understand. Everyone in the office was very professional and friendly, going out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and pleased with my visit.

Dr. Stetson is so good at explaining things so that you understand what he is going to do. Had my second surgery with him and I would not use anyone else.

Dr. Stetson and staff are very professional while being down to earth people. My wife had laminectomy surgery in late October and Dr Stetson and his team did a great job. She is recovering fast and has no pain anymore. His bedside manor is the best and felt like he was someone you knew for a long time the way he treated us.

Source:

Excellent patient care and advice given. Conservative approach which I appreciated very much. No pressure to head to surgery but many medical and physical therapy options were addressed.

Source:

There was a miss understand with paper work was I was afraid we may not see the Dr. but we got right in and the doctor he's going get clyde problems taking care of.

Source:

Dr Stetson was very nice and didn't automatically suggest surgery. Discussed other options.

Source:

Excellent treatment and care. Couldn't ask for a better surgeon and support staff. Surgery went great. Dr. Stetson was very thorough with his communication and follow-through. I wouldn't hesitate to return to him personally and recommend him to anyone needing the help of neurosurgeon.

Dr Stetson is an amazing surgeon!! He is courteous , kind and very knowledgeable! He truly cares about his patients and their well being. He takes as much time as needed to make sure his patients understand what he is relaying. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a neurological spinal surgeon. He is the best!!

Source:

Dr. Stetson truly cares about his patients. He has taken time to explain things and wants to make sure that his patients are doing better. An extremely fine surgeon who has taken good care of me and my back. I would recommend him to anyone.

Source:

He was is a wonderful Doctor!! Took time to listen to me and helped to explain my pain with me. Will go back to him when the time is right!

Source:

Very positive experience with Dr. Stetson, i.e. friendly, direct, interested, extremely thorough, notably knowledgeable, and an attitude that shows he want to help. Though he is a fast paced, busy professional he took the (fairly lengthy) time to fully consult with me. After talking with other neurosurgeons about resolving my back pain Dr. Stetson is absolutely my top choice. With the office staff, on the other hand, I felt a span class="textMainBold" sense of, “hurry up, answer my questions, and let's get you out of my charge,” (though nobody was really rude). This in spite of a request to arrive 30 minutes early for the appointment, paperwork having been completed online, and a wait time of almost 90 minutes to see the doctor. Still, my #1+ choice!

Source:

Dr. Stetson was excellent. He explained things in a way we could understand. He was very thorough in his examination. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends.

Dr. Stetson is kind, caring, and very informative. I had a lumbar microdiscectomy in April and my pain has disappeared. (Bulging disc pinching a nerve) I couldn't walk, in CONSTANT pain, and couldn't sleep. Now I have my life back and I'm so grateful and thankful for Dr. Stetson!!!

Source:

Highly recommend! My husband broke his back in mid-October (T12, burst compression fracture, unstable and protruding 6mm into the posterior elements). Dr. Stetson did a T11-L1 lumbar fusion. We were extremely lucky that he was he on-call doctor that weekend. He understood the severity of the injury and the importance of getting the surgery done as soon as possible. He is extremely knowledgeable and very caring, wanting his patients to have the best chance of getting back to a normal life as quickly as possible. He explains things in laymans terms and handles concerned/stressed family members with ease. He was also easy to get a hold of and easy to get in to see for follow ups.

I am totally impressed with Dr.Stetson and his staff. Dr.Stetson spent extensive amount of time educating me on treatment options, explaining surgery process, and explaining recovery process. I had excruciating pain and was unable to function prior to surgery. Surgery was performed the next day. My pain has been completely eliminated and I no longer need pain medications. They showed me great kindness. I am so grateful to have my life back.

I have been in severe pain and severely abnormal gait for several years. Recently referred to Dr. Stetson for spinal cord compression. I had surgery on May 10, 2019, never had to take anything more than Tylenol. I feel better than I have in years. Thanks Dr. Stetson and your awesome team for your contribution to getting my life back!

Nate is the most sincere, compassionate and talented Dr. I have seen. I started seeing him after my PCP had tried all he could do to manage my pain from the degenerative disk disease damage to my spine. I needed a spinal fusion so he referred me to Nate. Dr. Stetson took me on in October of 2017. I had no real quality of life. The debilitating pain took all my energy and will to live with it. He was able to transform my life to one not only worth living, but actually enjoyable. It wasn't an easy journey. It took several months and more than one surgery and I blame that on my insurance carrier insisting on trying less expensive cures first. For over 20 years I have lived with chronic pain and numbness in my lower back, legs and feet. I was either in pain or on too many meds to care. I couldn't participate in much or even have intimate time with my husband very often. It is now September 2018 and as I sit here typing this...I HAVE NO PAIN!!! I am more mobile, can join friends for activities, and most of all, I can play with my grandbabies. I'm even able to reconnect physically with my husband. His staff will always offer a smile and treat me with respect no matter how stressed they may be. I thank God for bring Nate into my life.

Had severe disc herniation in L5 S1. Pain was so unbearable I was stuck in bed for 2 months. Dr. Stetson performed surgery and immediately I was pain free and walking. If you have back issues go see Dr. Stetson at integris off nw expressway! He is genuine, cares, and most important he is extremely knowledgeable.

Wonderful experience good atmosphere and very friendly personnel

Oh where to begin?? My 1st visit with Dr Stetson I was a hot mess. After 7.5 yrs with this aracnoid cyst he explained in plain English every symptom I was having before I could say a word. His knowledge of my condition was a miracle! He also explained the severity and RISKS of having a brain surgery. Now we know why ive been mistreated and rejected by 10+ neurologist and neurosurgeon. Dr Stetson could see my life slipping away at age 42 when I should be in my prime. To save you the grave details, Dr Stetson performed BRAIN SURGERY to remove and drain my large aracnoid cyst. From the moment I woke up I knew God directed me to the right man for the job! 9 days shy of 5 months after surgery, my quality of life is 120++% better!! Dr Stetson is very compassionate, yet very stern, knowledgeable, very good listener, down to earth, proactive, Christian! Stetson saved my life! Once he got into the brain he found why my quality life was so dim. He took extra measures and time to save my life and give me new life. I owe this man and thank God for him daily! I recommend Dr Stetson to anyone who is in search of a neurosurgeon who is a real, , caring, listerning, Christain, who is devoted to his work, patients and staff!!

A very caring doctor who treated my daughter .His personality and time he takes with patients questions and worries is amazing..Highly recommended.

Thank you to you and all of your staff. I am forever grateful for all that you have done for me and my quality of life. I am so looking forward to being able to start living my life pain free again. Thank you just does not seam to be enough! I would like to thank all of my family and friends for all of the well wishes and prayers during my almost two week stay at the hospital this month. I had a spinial stimulator put in my back on the 6th of July. It is like a pace maker but goes directly on the spine to block pain from reaching the brain. After about 13 years or so of pain it was a last resort for me. Too many pain pills, shots in my back and any other medication that promised to take away the pain, I tried it all! Well I was released from hospital a few days later to go home and wait for my incisions to start healing. I went to my pain management Dr for a check up. After two people and six tries to get a blood pressure reading from me unsuccessfully, they sent me to the er. I was handed a gown to put on and they took my blood pressure. Before I could even get the gown on, I was put on a gurney and had about six different people attending to me. My blood pressure reading was 40/38 and I had pneumonia. Several more days in the hospital and two iv's running I finially got to come home! I am doing great now! I am pain free and am starting to get span class="textMainBold"er every day! I have been released from my spin Dr yesterday. I will be weened off of my medications. I have already done a lot of this over the last few days myself. I am so thankful and blessed! Thank you Jesus!! Crying tears of joy and happiness!

I had been recommended to Dr. Stetson after having significant lower back pain for some time. First appointment with him he walked in already having a great understanding of my situation from review of MRI. He asked my opinion when at decision points and made sure I was aware of everything leading up to making the decision for or against surgery, which I held off on for the time being. 18 months later I went into ER in a great deal of pain. Dr. Stetson spoke with me in the ER and ended up performing surgery that evening. Great success with the surgery, great follow up the day after. Staff has been fantastic to work with. I have recommended friends and family to him since my first appointment. Can't ask for a better surgeon and a more personable individual to work with in times of need. Thank you sir.

I found Dr. Stetson to be sincere and very clear with his diagnoses. A very concerned doctor and wants to insure the best of care and best results. I would highly recommend him and his staff. I had a excellent experience with my back surgery.

Dr Stetson performed a lumbar spinal fusion on me and I would highly recommend him to anyone!! He is extremely knowledgeable, efficiient and very caring with his patients!! I had excellent care before, during and after surgery!! His office staff is very efficient and caring too! I will always be grateful to Dr Stetson! If you need this kind of surgery he is the one you want! Thank you Dr Stetson!

I know it is cliche' to say Dr. Stetson gave me my life back ... but it is true. I had not known "pain free" for over 15 years. He had studied my information before my first appointment and had a plan to discuss with me. He explained the surgery in detail and answered all my questions in a manner I could understand. I would highly recommend him.

Source:

Dr. Stetson operated on my on November 15, 2017. He was very caring and discussed my procedure in depth (a discectomy at L5/S1) the evening before my surgery. He came in the morning after surgery and discussed my surgery more and gave me a piece of the disc that had hardened, that was removed. I went from miserable pain and crying to having much less pain (only from mostly my lack of movement) overnight. I have recommended him to many people. He is wonderful! Lifesaver! Would use again!

I had been having severe pains running down my left leg for several months.. After reading about .Dr.. Stetson, I proceeded to get an appointment with him.. On my first visit I found that he had already studied my case thru x-ray's and MRI's. He clearly explained the root of my problem and assured me that there was a rather simple fix for it. and he had performed the procedure many times. My hospital stay was short and I was feeling much better within a week.. His staff is the best.

Dr. Stetson has been amazing. My husband was referred to him and had back surgery a few weeks ago. The improvement was immediate. Dr. Stetson's bedside manner is great, he's great at answering our questions and he is very honest. His staff have been nothing but helpful and friendly. We highly recommend him!

Source:

Dr. Stetson's knowledge, attitude, and skill left me with a high grade of confidence at the initial appointment with him. This was proven out with a much quicker turn around time after my surgery and much less pain or discomfort than expected. I would highly recommend him for any type of neurological surgery you may be considering.

I Had numbness in my right hand for two years. I seen three doctors, before going Dr.Stetson, he knew right away what was wrong. He had test done to confirm. reviewed the x-rays with me, showed me what was wrong, how he will fix my problem. He performed the surgery the next week. I`m now in recovery, after three weeks my hand is starting to feel better and I`m going back to work. Nathaniel Stetson is a great dr. that takes pride in his work.

When I met Dr. Stetson I was a patient in my third hospital in a week. I had an auto accident with a deer and collapsed a few days later, paralyzed. Dr. Stetson was calm, professional and ordered the tests the other physicians had missed. My surgery was scheduled and performed. I began to improve immediately. He and Natasha Simonson work well as a team. I am very impressed with the level of care I received. I am now back to work full time and every day I regain strength and stamina.

Dr. Stetson worked great with my surgery. He held me and my wife's hand from day 1 that we met him. He assured me that the surgery was not going to be fun (and he didn't lie) BUT he told me to be span class="textMainBold" and we would get through it. I've played competitive soccer for the majority of my life, so when I found out my back had fractures in it, I knew my soccer days were done. 2 years removed from Surgery, I am not only back to playing golf but back to playing my first love, Soccer. Thank yo Dr

Had cervical surgery conducted in Feb 17 (three fusions and five discectomies) and am extremely pleased at both the treatment and professionalism of Dr Stetson and his staff. Thank you so very much. R.P.

Dr. Stetson was remarkable. I never anticipated having need of a neurosurgeon but so glad Dr. Stetson was recommended! He was calming, explained the procedure in terms I understood, provided great follow-up, and was very approachable. His interpersonal patient skills were as good as his surgeon skills! If someone is reading this and searching for a surgeon, you need look no further.

I was originally scheduled to have surgery completed by Dr. Smith. However, due to unforeseen circumstances Dr. Smith was unable to perform my surgery and he highly recommended Dr. Stetson. Which I couldn't have been more pleased with. Dr. Stetson, He was compassionate, pleasant and professional. I'm in the military and Dr. Stetson understood the amount of extra work he would need to do outside the operating room with all the necessary/required medical documents that the military requires.
