Shaun Setty, MD

Our son was told he had a heart murmur at 7 years old, only to find out he needed open heart surgery to repair a hole and valve leaks. We are blessed beyond measure to have Dr. Shaun Setty, known for his surgical meticulousness and keen detail, perform our son’s heart repair successfully and timely. From beginning to end, we felt Dr. Setty’s compassionate care and concern. Both he and his medical team at Miller Children’s hospital not only exceed in their professional expertise, but are passionate in their dedication of providing the BEST patient care. We are forever grateful and pleased with this heart changing experience for our son and family.

Our son was born in March and the day after he was born we learned he had a large Ventricle Septal Defect (VSD) that would most likely require open heart surgery at 3 – 6 months. We were introduced to Dr. Setty by our pediatric cardiologist Dr. Hattendorf who raved about the quality of Dr. Setty’s care. When we met him we were impressed with not only his clear confidence in the procedure to treat our son but also with the humanness with which he dealt with us as terrified parents. Our son had surgery at 9 weeks old and we cannot believe it’s all over. We totally agree with what the previous reviewers said about his professionalism and bedside manner. I thank God for Dr. Setty and his team and if you are a parent dealing with heartbreaking news that your child has a congenital heart defect, I am so sorry for what you are going through… But, if your child is being cared for by Dr. Setty and his team then please know your little love is in amazingly skilled hands.

Dr. Setty saved my beautiful daughter’s life. She was born 5 weeks premature and had a VSD & ASD. Coming to terms with the fact that at just 5 months old, she would need to have open — heart surgery was devastating. Our cardiologist recommended Dr. Setty and we were very pleased with him as well as his entire staff. He did an incredible job and although it was the hardest day of our lives, we are so happy with the outcome of the surgery. Her scar is healing amazingly and she is just like any other happy toddler now. Dr. Setty is our hero and we cannot thank him enough.
