AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr Ajai Seth provides professional, friendly, and attentive care to patients. He listens and gives clear diagnosis explanations. Treatment plans feature procedures such as knee injections, shockwave therapy for tendinopathy, and a holistic approach. Some patients mention administrative issues with appointment availability and waiting times; his expertise covers sports injuries, knee pain, and back conditions.
I do not have clarity on what’s the issue and how to get this fixed. I’m in plan and no slight of resolution Suggested new scans on each visit but no clear structured plan and view of how and when this will be fixed. A little frustrating at the moment
Very professional , very knowledgable , very kind and clear in the procedure.
Dr. Seth has a super calm manner, very friendly and made me feel confident about my treatment and the aftercare plan. I had seen him before and it was his knowledge, his expertise and his manner that made me revisit when I had a knee problem. Which again, his medical knowledge and know how has proven invaluable in enabling me to return to my sport and improved my daily life immensely. I would highly recommend him.
A top class professional. Kind, caring and very knowledgable. Gave me all the treatments I need to get back to running and other sports.
Very thorough, easy to talk to, and took the time to explain everything for me, without jargon. And very clear and practical next steps.
Dr Seth was very supportive, showed a real interest in providing my daughter (15) with medical advice and care. My daughter tends to be anxious seeing doctors but felt very comfortable being treated by Dr Seth.
Clear, helpful. Happy to explain tests and implications.
Thank you for your feedback. I’m pleased the discussion around the tests and their implications was helpful and clear. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
He did not explain the extra while in the room- like the ultrasound
After five months with an iliac stress fracture that was only partially healing it was such a relief to see Dr Seth. He was knowledgable and reassuring at the same time. The appointment was not rushed - he listened in detail to my history. I felt at the end I was finally speaking to someone to someone who really understood the cause of the injury, could explain my scans clearly and to suggest a way forward which I could believe in.
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. I’m really pleased the consultation helped bring clarity after what sounds like a challenging period, and that you felt confident in the explanation and plan moving forward. Taking the time to understand the full history and ensure everything is clearly explained is always important to me. I’m glad we were able to identify a way forward that you feel comfortable with, and I wish you the very best with your recovery and return to activity.
Outstanding
Thank you for the kind feedback - it's very much appreciated.

PhysiotherapistI’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Ajai Seth over the years on numerous patient cases at LDN PHYSIO, and I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a top-tier sports medicine consultant. Dr. Seth brings a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to his work—consistently looking beyond the immediate issue to understand each patient's overall health and lifestyle. His commitment to providing personalised care is evident in every case we've collaborated on. Dr. Seth is a key asset not only to those he treats but also to our work as physiotherapists.
