Wow, Dr Shaw went above and beyond my expectations. Clear precise and very informative. 💯 recommended for all audiology problems.
Thank you very much for your feedback and kind words. Kindest regards, Dr Shaw
I saw Dr Shaw today following a flare up of long term Meniere’s disease. He was kind, caring, thorough and informative. He took time to check past and present symptoms and whether treatments, lifestyle changes and medicines had worked. I had various hearing tests with the audiologist and Dr Shaw carried out further examinations. He gave me a plan to pursue with my GP and local ENT team and I have already received my letter from today's consultation. Thank you very much for seeing me and still taking so much time and care when I was late due to an unexpected train issue. That was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Dr Shaw to anyone with ongoing vestibular issues and/or Meniere’s disease.

I was very impressed with Dr Shaw . Audio vestibular medicine was very new to us. Dr Shaw was very professional, he explained clearly the test that he was carrying out that day. The results were instant and he explained them in depth and was very clear about next steps. Dr Shaw has an excellent bedside manner My mother felt she was listened to and her concerns regarding her symptoms validated. He was very patient with her and we left very reassured in regards to her follow-up treatment. I would highly recommend Dr Shaw to any one seeking audio vestibular support.

I went to Dr Shaw due to several episodes of vertigo and dizziness and he was outstanding. It was immediately clear that he is a top professional with considerable expertise. His communications were very clear. He used a diagram to show what might be wrong and how he was going to test for it. At the end of the session he gave me a diagnosis and recommendations. I received a letter with notes on the session the following day. I highly recommend him.

My online consultation went very well. It was clear that Ben paid close attention to my description of my symptoms and asked questions for clarification. An all-round positive experience.

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.
