After seeing two fancy surgeons, & several other doctors, surgery, years of pain, etc., i went to pain management with Dr. Seth. He is the only doctor that ever really helped me have less pain, and with less or no medication as an outcome! Down to earth, brilliant, he and his staff are so kind and competent, with anything from apts. to insurance, new technology. Do yourself a favor. He's a rare find, seriously. What a relief; medicine at it's best.

Dr. Seth is very professional and caring. He takes time to listen to my problem. After an examination, he advised me of his recommended treatment for my condition. This treatment for me was very effective for pain relief. I am very happy to recommend him to anyone suffering from low back pain. Thank you.
