Dr. Rahul Seth, MD

Very personable, knowledgable, and patient. Highly highly recommend!! Saw him for surgery for a deviated septum.

this dr talks good but found very poor in skill and knowledge

After waiting nearly 3 months to get in to see Dr. Seth, I was taken to an exam room and waited for over 45 minutes. The doctor never showed- even though I was told that "he is just finishing across the hall and will be right in." No apology, no explanation. Never saw the man- walked out and won't return. Awful experience!

I had a tissue transplant from my upper thigh into my upper palette where a tumor was taken out. Dr. Rahul Seth performed the reconstructive surgery together with help from a very capable medical staff. He worked with Dr. Ha, who removed the tumor. I am more than happy with the results. I am actually ecstatic with joy. The 3.5 inches wide transplant is doing great in my mouth and it has its own blood supply through the vein and artery that was taken also from my leg, and was sewn into a main artery and vein in my neck. I can still hardly believe that such a reconstruction was made possible by such outstanding doctors and medical staff. The so called "flap" or transplanted tissue is the exact size and shape that I needed, it is a perfect fit, kind of like a dress made by a seamstress just for me.:) After 3 weeks on pain meds I was able to stop taking any medications and I have slowly come back to normal in a month and a half. I can chew, talk, sing and swallow as normal. I am… incredibly grateful for the gift of my new flap as it saved me from having to wear a plastic retainer for the rest of my life. Dr. Seth is kind and he is a compassionate communicator. Anyone who gets medical care from him is extremely fortunate.

My son had a broken nose from playing baseball when he was 9. Due to his age we had to wait till he stopped growing to go through the procedure. After going through three different consults we decided to have this procedure done by Dr. Seth. Aside from his knowledge and experience on the procedure Dr. Seth was extremely polite and approachable. We felt extremely cared for by himself and the staff. The results of the surgery were fantastic. My son can breathe now.

My name is Brandon and I am a Registered Nurse with UCSF. I often provide nursing care for Dr. Seths surgical patients in our hospital. In my opinion, his work is always meticulous and superior, on top of that he is a genuinely kind man who truly cares about his patients. He is never in a rush when visiting patients and allows his patients and their family time to think of any concerns they have. This first-hand experience led me to see Dr. Seth myself for my problem. I have never been able to breathe out of my nose well at all, which caused me to subtly mouth breathe all the time. I had low cardiovascular endurance because i could not oxygenate well, and had been wearing breathe right nasal strips at night for years. During my office visit with Dr. Seth, he indicated to me that I had a significantly deviated septum as well as nasal valve collapse. He said he could help me. I was so relieved to hear this, and he explained everything to me to my satisfaction. After doing… plenty of my own research on rhinoplasty, I know Dr Seth had to pull out all the stops to fix my nose. I underwent what is called a septoplasty and functional rhinoplasty with him at my own hospital and my experience was phenomenal. The first week was a little rough, as are all nasal surgeries, but at the seven day followup Dr Seth removed the nasal stents. I cried in his office because I could actually take a full breathe through my nose for the first time. I tell my patients and everyone I work with how amazing Dr. Seth is. He gave me "my best nose" and I am thankful everyday for what he did for me. I wish everyone could have Dr. Seth as their facial plastic surgeon.
