I have been with Dr. Menon for 17 years now, and I can't say I am staying with her because of inertia, or everything worked out perfectly. I am today still her patient, despite some glitches with her office, because she came through for me on critical things that really matter.

I started seeing her ob practice when I had my kids, then I stopped seeing her for about 5 years because there was really no need. By 2007, I encountered a series of medical emergency situations which later on led to the diagnosis of endometriosis. Dr. Menon was very responsive to my medical condition, she would bring me in right away despite her busy schedule. Subsequently, she did a laparoscopic surgery on me removing a cyst and cleaning up my infected tubes. Her surgical skills proved to be extremely impressive, I was able to recover and go back to work after 48 hours, and had no pain within 3 doses of painkillers. However, her popularity with patients seeking competent surgeons also came at a cost - her wait time has also become much longer. Since I had an ongoing issue for the last few years requiring constant monitor, I really expect swift turnaround time in relaying biopsy or test results back to me, which unfortunately didn't always happen because her office was not given enough liberty to communicate while she was preoccupied. I would also like to see her office using email more as a tool to notify their patients of the test results, because a normal result delivered in time can really put patients' heart at ease.

Having said that her wait time is getting longer, which seems to be a necessary evil for a popular doctor, I never feel rushed when I see her. I always get a good 20-25 minutes consult in which I feel I've secured all the attention I need from her to address my issues. She takes her time to understand my concerns and lay out options available and she is spot on with her advice on various topics including side effects, treatment pros and cons etc. When it comes to making a professional judgement on my health, I trust Dr. Menon entirely. My 12-year old daughter once asked me after a recent visit, why I would bother to wait so long for an appointment, to which I replied, "because whatever she does for me works".

Dr. Menon has been my obgyn for 16 years. Years ago, an officemate introduced me to Dr. Menon’s practice, and shortly after, it seemed many of the women in my office (at least 10, maybe 15) were seeing her. While I was initially very impressed with her bedside manner, after years under her care, I have come to appreciate that she is far more than a warm, competent doctor.

Professionally, she has been very open, which means, she doesn’t sugar coat the prognosis, she tells you the facts as they are. However, at the same time, she is also extremely progressive in seeking out the latest research on the facts. She has kept me up to date on what I should be watching for as I age, what tests I should have and what I should be doing to take care of myself. She has such an approachable personality that I can ask her any questions, go to her with any concerns without feeling embarrassed or judged.

Last year, I was unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer. At the session when she told my husband and I the news, she had printed medical information from the internet concerning breast cancer, giving me a place to start getting the facts. Also, instead of merely referring me to a specialist, she had arranged for an excellent surgeon down the hall to meet with me immediately. As a doctor, she took charge and stayed on top of everything when I needed her guidance the most. So far, my recovery has been progressing well, and I look forward to many more years of being cared for by Dr. Menon.
