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.

Dr Seth is really the best . Having seen several specialists before regarding a golf related elbow injury - torn elbow tendon- Dr Seth treated me successfully without resorting to an operation that others had suggested was necessary . I have now played almost pain free for the last 18 months. Thank you Ajai.

Hearing that you're back out on the course and playing almost pain free 18 months on genuinely means a great deal to me. Elbow tendon injuries in golfers can be stubborn and complex, and I always believe it's worth exhausting every non-surgical avenue before considering an operation – so I'm really pleased that approach worked so well for you. Enjoy every round!

I highly recommend Dr Ajai Seth. I found him to be incredibly thorough and an excellent listener who seemed to really care about exploring my concerns. Instead of feeling rushed, I found him to be highly professional and clear when explaining my management plan and follow-up. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Being thorough and really listening to what a patient is telling me sits at the heart of how I approach every consultation – so it means a great deal to hear that came through. Getting the management plan right and making sure it makes sense to the patient is just as important as the diagnosis itself, and I'm pleased that clarity carried through to your follow-up as well. I hope you're well on your way back to doing what you love.

Me and my husband have both been treated by Dr Ajai Seth for shoulder, neck and back issues. Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Each appoint, he takes time to assess the issue before going ahead with the treatment. Always come away after each visit feeling confident we've had the best advice on next steps. Keep up the great work.

It's really rewarding to hear this – and the fact that both you and your husband have trusted me with your care means a great deal. Shoulder, neck and back problems can all be so intertwined with daily life and activity, so getting the assessment right before deciding on treatment is something I feel strongly about. I'd rather take the time to properly understand what's going on than rush to a solution. I look forward to continuing to support you both whenever you need me.
