Dr Shaw is an excellent consultant. He took the time to listen to my history and quickly recognised my MdDS/PPPD symptoms after a long search for answers. I am grateful for his patience and for finally giving me a clear diagnosis so I can get the right treatment to manage my symptoms.

I visited Dr Shaw after experiencing a range of balance, vertigo and migraine issues. The examination was thorough with state of the art technology allowing me to receive the results of testing straight away. Dr Shaw was able to explain to me in layman's terms an initial prognosis, suggest treatments and lay out a clear action plan to finalize my diagnosis. A clear and thorough letter was received within 24 hours of my appointment. I have seen various specialists over the years pertaining to this condition and Dr Shaw is certainly the best.

I am relieved to have discovered Dr Benjamin Shaw. During my Audiovestibular Medicine clinic, Dr Shaw took time to listen carefully. My concerns about my SSHL and tinnitus journey was knowledgeably and expertly assessed with care and patience. The thorough range of mini tests and manipulations that followed were very helpful. I slept well, with minimal issues from my tinnitus for the third time since my second SSHL episode five months ago. His kind advice and explanations were reassuring and comforting and my concerns and observations of my SSHL and tinnitus were given serious and expert consideration. I welcome the tests Dr Shaw recommended which should help us better understand my audiovestibular problems and next steps.

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.
