- I booked to see Mr Menon as a private paying patient at the Spire Macclesfield. Mr Menon was friendly and professional. He was easy to speak with and was thorough in his approach during my initial consultation, taking time to listen and explore my medical history. I saw him again after an ultrasound and he went through the results. I felt entirely comfortable with him and confident in his medical opinion. I would highly recommend Mr Menon.
- I saw doctor Menon in August due to ongoing stomach problems. He is really professional, a great listener and extremely helpful he made a plan to help me and followed it up promptly,I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Menon Many thanks. Paul Davis
- My entire experience of the Spire, from initial consultation to post-operative review, was first-class. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
