I was very impressed with Dr. Menon , and his way of letting me talk and him letting me explain to him what I think may be my problem. He was very understanding and agreed with what I thought was wrong . He went on to write letters to my local Drs. explaining what my symptoms are and explaining to them what he thinks I need to have done to help me . I think he’s a very lovely man , with a a unique way of making you feel at ease , and also he’s excellent at explaining things to people . I left his office feeling a little better but the fact I would actually get the help I needed .
