He has extensive experience in musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging diagnostics, shock wave therapy, and therapeutic injections, such as steroid, high volume, PRP, and prolotherapy.

Dr Seth works as part of a multidisciplinary team that delivers compassionate, personalised care. He believes that having the right diagnosis from the start is critical to providing the best care for patients and that physical activity is the best form of rehabilitation.

Dr Ajai Seth is part of the British Tennis Sports Physician team at the LTA and has also provided cover to elite athletes at Wimbledon Tennis, European Tour Golf, Premier League Football, British Athletics, and the Men’s England Football academies as part of the FA.

Dr Seth also has positions in leading Sport Medicine organisations, including the non-executive board for the UK’s largest Sports Medicine charity, BASEM and Past President for the Royal Society of Medicine.

A day in the working life of Dr Seth involves consulting his patients in clinic, performing diagnostics and ultrasound guided injections. He also regularly lectures and tutors students and presents at sports medicine conferences internationally. He also spends part of the working week at the National Tennis Centre, LTA, supporting British Tennis players.

Outside of work, Dr Seth enjoys playing club tennis, triathlon, golf, running and skiing (but will give any sport a go!). He enjoys keeping fit and active and good quality family time with his wife and three children.

Achilles tendinopathy can be a frustrating and often misunderstood condition, so I always want to make sure patients leave with a genuinely clear picture of what's happening and a practical path forward. Getting that balance right – between thorough explanation and a realistic, progressive treatment plan – is something I care about deeply. I look forward to seeing you back on your feet and doing what you love.

Dr Seth’s guidance and treatment has massively improved my recovery after a first rib resection for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. In our first meeting he made more progress diagnosing my issues than I’ve made in months seeing other doctors. Could not recommend seeing him more , especially if you’re struggling with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome – and particularly post-surgical recovery after first rib resection – is one of those areas where patients so often find themselves passed from pillar to post without getting clear answers. I'm really glad that our first consultation gave you the clarity and direction you needed, and that your recovery has genuinely moved forward since then. Getting you properly assessed and on the right path was exactly what that first meeting was for – and it's deeply satisfying to see it translate into real progress. I look forward to continuing to support you back to full strength.

Dr Ajai Seth was excellent. He was professional, knowledgeable and very thorough in the way he approached Enrico’s elbow problem. He listened carefully to the history, understood the demands of competitive tennis and explained his thinking clearly. What particularly impressed me was that he wanted to understand the complete picture before deciding on treatment, including reviewing Enrico’s previous MRI alongside his own examination and ultrasound findings. We felt very confident in his approach and would certainly recommend him.

Enrico is lucky to have such an attentive advocate in you – thank you for sharing this so thoughtfully. Elbow problems in competitive tennis players need to be understood in context, not just treated in isolation, which is why taking the time to piece together the full picture – history, imaging, and my own examination findings – matters so much to me before committing to a plan. I'm glad that came across clearly and that you both felt confident in the process. My aim is to get Enrico back on court performing at the level he's used to, and I look forward to helping him get there.

Dr Seth. I was greatly impressed by your expertise and knowledge. You looked thoroughly into my case before making great suggestions on how to improve my condition. Both yourself and Professor Vassilis Hadjianastassiou are great doctors who cares a lot about your patients!!

Really glad the consultation gave you a clear path forward with your Raynaud's. It's a condition that genuinely benefits from a thorough, joined-up approach, and working alongside Vassilis means my patients get that level of expertise across the board. Getting you back to feeling comfortable and in control is exactly what this is about.
