AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr Ajai Seth demonstrates a professional and friendly approach with patients. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and patient, explaining medical information, management plans, and specific treatments. Procedures include shockwave therapy and joint injections for conditions such as tendinopathy and knee issues. Key patient themes include effective care for sports injuries, knee pain, and back pain.
I cannot thank Dr Ajai enough. He worked with me to understand the root cause of my shoulder problem, did the relevant tests and scans, while also working with my physio to inform them of any findings and recommendations.
Dr Seth is gentle, kind and patient. I have appreciated him taking the time to understand my lifestyle and needs beyond simple imagery and symptoms
Really glad the consultations have felt that way – understanding someone's life, not just their scan, is central to how I approach back and hip pain. Getting the full picture is what allows me to give advice that actually fits around you.
Great experience seeing Dr Ajai Seth at London Bridge Medicne. Thorough review of my hip issue and clear physio exercises to remedy the issue - thank you
Really glad the consultation felt thorough – getting a clear picture of what's driving a hip problem is the foundation for everything that follows. I hope the exercises are already making a difference, and I look forward to seeing you back doing what you enjoy.
Dr Seth treats the patient rather than just the scan results. He asks questions to get to the bottom of the pain and cause. He discusses his suggested treatment and approach with you and explains things extremely clearly.
That really is the heart of what good sports medicine should be – understanding the person in front of me, not just the images on a screen. Hip and groin pain in particular can have so many overlapping causes that listening carefully and asking the right questions is often what unlocks the right path forward. I'm glad that came through clearly, and I hope you're well on your way back to doing what you love.
I've had an issue with my ribs for 4 1/2 months, without diagnose, just theories. Dr Seth was able to provide a diagnosis and practical solutions for treatment, including offering to talk to my Osteopath. I now have clear next steps and clarity on my condition.
Four and a half months without a clear answer is a long time to be managing uncertainty alongside the discomfort itself – so I'm really pleased we were able to get to the bottom of what's been going on with your ribs and map out a proper path forward. Coordinating with your osteopath makes complete sense; when everyone involved in your care is working from the same diagnosis and plan, things tend to move in the right direction much more efficiently. I look forward to seeing you make good progress.
Very good communication and treatment
Really glad the communication felt clear throughout – it matters as much to me as the treatment itself when it comes to getting someone back on their feet.
Very professional, helpful and reassuring appointment. I was impressed and felt listened to, respected and came away with a clear treatment plan. Thank you.
Rotator cuff problems can feel really unsettling, so I'm pleased you left with clarity and a plan you feel confident in. That's exactly what I aim for.
see before.
Really glad to be helping with your knee pain – I look forward to continuing our work together.
Great service and very knowledgeable consultant in Dr Seft
Really glad you had a good experience – knee pain can be so limiting, and it matters to me that patients leave with a clear understanding of what's going on and a solid path forward.

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.
