Dr shyam listened to my problem and explained everything in detail to me
Dr Menon was very professional and explained everything clearly. During my procedure he helped me to stay calm and always made sure that I was comfortable. I would thoroughly recommend him.
I think Dr Memon was sincere and provided a practical investigation in respect of next steps.
I’d been suffering from recurrent abdominal pain after a gallbladder removal a few months ago. After failed trips to A&E (where I was repeatedly told by consultants that people don’t have issues after a cholecystectomy) I was recommended to speak with Dr Menon. He was extremely knowledgeable about my Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction condition, explained what was happening and a clear and concise course of treatment and investigation. I finally felt that I was speaking to someone who was an expert in the condition. Thank you, and I highly recommend him to anyone else suffering from similar issues
Absolutely brilliant, I felt listened to, empathised with and a clear plan of action was put into place. His years of expertise left me feeling reassured and supported.
