All I can say is I’ve never met a Doctor who truly goes above and beyond for his patients. I was referred to Dr Menon via another doctor. I had been suffering with my concerns for over a year nothing was getting done until I met Dr Menon. On my first initial appointment he took time to get to know me and my struggles, he listened, and I got heard. From then my appointments were being booked things were getting done, and I finally had an answer to what has been wrong with me for year. I can’t thank Dr Menon enough for everything and will continue to see him for this particular diagnosis. However I would also like to thank his secretary, she’s on the ball, so polite and you get a response most definitely within 24 hours. Thank you to you both for everything. Whoever wants to see Dr Menon your in the best hands.

Thank you very much what you have done for me. I will be adopting a far safer and very much watered done approach to alcohol in future ( Perhaps shandy rather than beer ). I will also give up wine for now, and be more moderate in future, which will help my weight. I retire next week so should feel less inclined to drink regularly after work. I am very aware that pancreatitis can be a trigger for pancreatic, which is still a very rapid and painful death. So the incentive to do better is very high for me. Hopefully my CT in a few months will be completely clear. Thanks.

Excellent care from a wonderful consultant I have now seen Dr Menon on two occasions, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care I have received. He was extremely thorough, taking the time to explain everything clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. He was professional throughout, but equally kind, compassionate and approachable. Discussing personal health concerns can sometimes feel uncomfortable, but Dr Menon immediately put me at ease. I felt comfortable speaking openly about my symptoms, knowing that I was being listened to and that my concerns were being taken seriously. I never felt rushed, and I left my appointment feeling reassured, informed and confident about the next steps in my care. A genuinely caring and knowledgeable consultant whom I would not hesitate to recommend.

Dr Shayam Menon was very personable . He made me feel at ease straight away, took time to listen to my symptoms and clearly described his views on why he felt they were happening. He included my husband in the conversations and we both went away feeling very confident with the plan. His secretary was also very efficient and super helpful securing me a timely appointment so I could go ahead with other surgery. I would highly recommend your services to others. Shannon C.
