all very good
Really glad to hear it – looking forward to keeping you moving well.
My visit with Doctor Seth was excellent. Very informative and really pushed the dial of my understanding of whats going on with my back
Really glad the consultation gave you such a clear picture of what's happening with your back – that kind of understanding is the foundation for getting things moving in the right direction.
Smooth, friendly, simple and efficient.
That's exactly how I want every appointment to feel – and I hope we get you moving freely again soon.
Dr Seth helped me with an ankle injury. Was clear in his explanations and when explaining treatment
Ankle injuries can be genuinely frustrating, so I'm pleased the path forward felt clear. Getting you moving well again is always the goal.
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!
Very professional, friendjy and practical advice
Really glad the consultation felt useful and grounded in practical advice – that's exactly what I aim for with shoulder pain and sports injuries.
Very professional and detailed explanation which helped provided context behind my issues.
Really glad the explanation landed well – understanding what's actually going on with shoulder pain makes a real difference to how we approach getting it right. Looking forward to seeing you move well again.
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.
Knowledgeable and experienced. Really feel like I am in good hands
Hip and groin issues can be genuinely complex to unravel, so I'm glad that came through. Looking forward to getting you moving well again.
