— Healthgrades (Dr. Jacob Meindertsma)

"Dr. Seth would not renew my Rx until I came into the office. Sounds reasonable, but he could not see me for over a month. Sadly, I had to go without my medication for a few weeks until I found another doctor."

— Healthgrades (Dr. Abhinav Seth)

"I highly advise not going to any Yale rheumatology provider or practice because of this experience. It was extremely inappropriate, dismissive, and medically negligent."
