About

Dr Shaw is a highly specialised and award-winning Audiovestibular Consultant Physician, focusing exclusively on dizziness & vertigo, balance disorders, tinnitus, and hearing loss.

Living with these conditions can be isolating and distressing. Dr Shaw's mantra is that "an accurate diagnosis is key to effective management" - he listens, investigates thoroughly, and provides clear answers with effective management - giving patients the expert and timely care they deserve.

After studying medicine at University College London, he completed specialist training at world-leading institutes including the Royal National ENT Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital. His expertise is nationally recognised, receiving referrals for complex cases and second opinions from across the country. His achievements include a Distinction in 'Otology & Audiology' from the renowned Ear Institute, the prestigious 2020 'Pat Jobson Prize', and being named ‘Consultant Audiovestibular Physician of the Year 2025’.

His patients describe life-changing results: "For the first time in 24 years, I can wake up without feeling dizzy." Patients with tinnitus praise: "Really explained the situation well and gave me useful information on managing my condition. First-rate consultation." With outstanding reviews, patients highlight finally finding answers after seeing multiple doctors.

 Dr Shaw looks forward to meeting you in clinic.
