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.
Very nice gentleman and extremely pleasant and professional Great explanation and detailed report, gave good advice and detailed instructions if needed
Dr ajai was great Explained really well with my foot issues I been having last 10 over months Helping me on the right path Felt good seeing dr Ajai Felt reliever how he explain it all Thank you
My experience if I had to rate it was 10/10. I totally recommend Dr Seth to anyone and particularly to people like myself who have complex medical needs as he is well ahead of anything near where we live. I travelled quite some way for the experience and knowledge Dr Seth has and I would recommend him to anyone in similar situations. Thank you Dr Seth.
It means a great deal to hear this, especially knowing the journey you made to be seen. Complex cases are where I feel the importance of getting things right most acutely, and ultrasound-guided joint injections done precisely can make a real difference when other options haven't moved the needle. I'm glad the trip was worthwhile and I hope you're already feeling the benefit.
Dr Ajai Seth was very helpful & made it very clarify With my ongoing foot issue This was my first appointment with dr Ajai Thank you
Really glad our first appointment was useful and that you left with a clearer picture of what's going on with your foot. Getting that clarity early is so important – it's the foundation for getting you moving properly again.
Dr Seth was very good. Spent time explaining and I think he has found a solution
Hip and groin pain can be genuinely disruptive, so I'm pleased we've landed on a clear path forward. I look forward to seeing you make good progress.
Thank you Dr Seth for the second round of shockwave. Whilst there is some discomfort during the procedure it is tolerable and made better with conversation. Thank you for listening to me moan about my rehab!
I visited Dr Ajai Seth at Blackheath Hospital for multiple consultations and follow-ups. I'm very happy with his quality of care, his recommendations and his bedside manner. My complaints have been chronic and he has been very thorough in investigating possible underlying causes.
Chronic presentations like yours take patience – both from the patient and the clinician – so I'm really glad the thoroughness of the process has felt worthwhile. Getting to the bottom of hip and groin pain, particularly when symptoms have been ongoing, means ruling things out carefully, whether that's looking at stress fractures or using ultrasound to build a clearer picture of what's happening structurally. That kind of systematic approach matters to me, and I'm pleased it's come across that way. I look forward to continuing to work with you and getting you back to doing what you enjoy.
Good manner. Professional. Thorough and highly knowledgeable
Really glad the consultation felt that way – getting to the bottom of joint pain properly takes time and care, and that's exactly how I try to approach it.

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.
