As a specialist in minimally invasive and outpatient spine surgeries, Dr. Sethi has lectured both nationally and internationally on topics related to the spine and has had surgeons from all over the world watching him in the operating room. He has written numerous articles and given multiple presentations to the attendees at the prestigious American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Northern American Spine Society, and Cervical Spine Research Society meetings, among others.
He has been named one of the 50 best spine surgeons in America by Becker’s Healthcare Magazine and has been voted both a Washingtonian Magazine and Bethesda Magazine Top Doc. In his spare time, he works with the Make a Wish Foundation and a local food bank and has been recognized by the Governor of Maryland for his volunteer efforts.

He was OK explaining why I needed surgery, but do not make me feel comfortable by introducing himself or shaking my hand, etc.
Dr Sethi was excellent at showing me the problem area on MRI and explaining current and future treatment possibilities
Dr Seth didn’t care about his patient- my dad. He just kept saying you have three choices, that’s it! He didn’t provide any detailed information about pros and cons. After sitting down for less than 5 minutes, he was eager to leave. No compassion, no patience for his patient. no willingness to explain the details about the choices. The worst communication I have experienced.
Very down to earth. Great bedside manner.
His Analysis was encouraging and his honesty regarding PT was greatly appreciated. His suggestion on maintaining current activity was encouraging.
He was great!!!
Was straight forward with assessment and next steps.
Excellent!!!
Dr. Sethi~ is one of the best bedside manners Doctors I met in a long time. He is so detailed and gentle in his diagnoses. His professionalism is five star. I would recommend him to any new patient.
I appreciate his honesty. The best thing for me to do is continue the pt exercises and be careful not to fall.
