Dr Seth is an expert in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and reactive arthritis), inflammatory crystal arthritis (including gout and pseudogout), osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and autoimmune connective tissue diseases (including lupus and sjorgren’s syndrome).
