Dr Shaw is a first class practitioner. For the first in 15 years I actually felt like someone understood my journey and the ongoing challenges. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. I only wish that there were more specialists in this sector and that I had found him sooner !

I was very happy with my consultation and was so pleased that I was listened to. Very informative consultation and I left feeling happy that things may progress having waited for NHS to come up with some answers. Dr Shaw was very pleasant and I would definitely recommend him.

Seeing Dr. Shaw at his clinic was a great experience. He was cordial, professional and extremely knowledgeable on his field of practice. In addition he was very thorough and explained all the possible causes for my symptoms, any question I had, the vestibular exam process and management of the condition. A fantastic consultant!

Dr Shaw was patient listening to my symptoms and explanations of my dizziness. He explained every test thoroughly, why the tests were being carried out to enable a full understanding of what I have been experiencing. Every step of the process was explained. I was made to feel calm and comfortable. I am feeling much better after the treatment.

After experiencing debilitating dizziness on Friday 30th Jan 2026 I phoned Dr Shaw's PA Emma and she was able to book me a visit within a few days on Tuesday 3rd Feb 2026 at his private outpatients clinic in Highgate. He is a quite remarkable audiovestibular physician. I liked him a lot. His enthusiasm for the subject is infectious. The quality and effectiveness of his work with me was "top notch". His manner was very engaging and gave clear and logical information about my dizziness condition. After the examination, involving several tests, I received a specific targeted treatment manoeuvre which he advised should deal with the problem. A day after my visit I feel much improved. The dizziness has gone and I am following his direction to prevent a reoccurrence. I also really appreciated getting the results letter on the same day via the Carebit portal. Worth every penny!

I met Ben originally while he was working at the Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals in the Neuro-otology department. Patients always mentioned his calm and patient approach in a high pressure environment. This is partly why he was such a success but he also has extremely specialist training and a wealth of experience. I'm very pleased to receive his referrals for audio-vestibular assessments as I know our patients will be well looked after.
