I am consulting this doctor from past 10 years. She is a well experienced *** ************* ******* She diagnoses in a very perceptive manner and contributes the treatment with assurance. Doctor's assistant is also familiar to me. She is very polite and helpful. Reception staff are okay. But they are very slow in billing procedure. Wait time may vary depending on the queue. If booked prior, it may take around 30 minutes. I am very much satisfied with the doctor and I will recommend her to everyone.

Dr.Sudha Menon is one of the best doctors I have ever consulted, been diagnosed and treated by. She listens to each and every point very patiently. Has very strong instinct that she will know about the patient's condition but will confirm only after getting proper tests done. Won't compromise on the test reports/diagnosis and gives very accurate treatment. Highly experienced and witty. life saver! She remembers her patient by name even after years. Team has very polite and brilliant Dr Ameena. Today I, my dad and my granny prefer only Dr.SudhaMenon as first point consultation and we trust only her recommendations. Expressing my gratitude with this. She deserves many more. Hight recommended.

My wife was refereed to Dr. Sudha Menon by Dr Gayathri Kamat in Fortis due to cough and iron deficiency during pregnancy. Prior to meeting Sudha Menon, I had met multiple doctors in various hospitals for the cough and didn't get the right treatment.
She suspected something and asked us to get an X Ray done even though my wife was pregnant. She discussed my wife's case with Gynecologist Dr. Gayathri Kamat and insisted us to get an X- Ray done with a lead shield. After the X Ray she suggested us further tests and was able to zeroed down to the actual root cause of the cough. *** **** *** ***** ********** *** with the grace of the lord, my wife is recovering slowly from her cough and iron deficiency.
She is strict and you may not like her the way she talks to you but I must say, she is very good in catching diseases and is an expert in taking the right decisions in critical cases and I am thankful that I ended up meeting her. She would not ask you to do unnecessary test and is always right to the point.

I'm not a person who usually lashes out on doctors considering how noble their services are, especially during the current scenario. However, the incident that took place two days ago is forcing me to do so here so that nobody else has the same experience as I did. I called Fortis Bannerghatta road around 7:30 am and found that the first doctor to come in OPD was Dr Sudha Menon. Even though I didn't consult her before, I went ahead with it because I had chills the night before and was terrified. When I searched online she had good experience too.
She came in around 10:20 even if the receptionist had told me that she'll come by 8:30. She was on rounds, but the receptionist hadn't mentioned it when I called. So i had to wait for almost two hrs for the doctor in the cold ac hallway even though I was really weak and sick.
After two hours of wait, I got in with my friend. The doctor had a younger assistant doctor. I was covid positive in April 2021 since the person I was living with works in the healthcare field and I got it from him. As soon as the doctor got to know that, and since I had a fever, cough and runny nose this time too...she established that I had covid. In the examination, my throat was clear, I had no pain in the pressure points, I had no breathing troubles, and I had taste. I had also told her that I got sick after I got exposed to dust mites which I'm extremely allergic to since childhood. But she said nobody gets a fever because of allergy. * **** **** ***** *** *** *** ********* ***** ** ********* *** ***** ********** **** *** **** ** ******* ****** ***** ******** ******** ** *** *** ** **** *** ** ***** ******* It's not the first time, I've fallen sick this way atleast 20 times since I was a child. I've consulted many doctors during these times too. But I couldn't tell her anything because she was already sort of rude and she shut me up saying I was not responsible for getting a "respiratory" infection for the second time. Even though I clearly said I had no problem with my respiration except for regular blocked nose and phlem. She kept blaming me throughout the ten minutes I was in there. I felt like getting up and storming out. But I didn't out of respect for doctors. And guess what? My results came negative. It's just a common cold and fever. **** *** **** **** *** ****** *** ********* *** ********* *** ***** ** ** ******* *** ******* * *** ***** *** *** ************ **** **** ****** ******* *********** ** *********** ********** **** *** ******* ** ***** **** *** ** ** **** ** **** *** ****** ********* ******* ** ******** ***** ***** *** *********** ******* **** ****** *** ******
I paid 6000+ rupees for the consultation and tests just because I wanted to make sure I didn't have covid. But this is the service and quality of consultation I get from Fortis's senior doctor.
I hope if Dr Sudha reads this, she realises it's not right to judge her patients behaviour and moral responsibility without knowing the whole story. The pandemic situation has been difficult for all and doctors know it better than anyone else. Even though I know it's hard to be kind at times, please don't behave this way when someone's in pain and seeks your help and that too paying a hefty amount for the services.
It was a frustrating experience to me. When they deal with the patients, they should be more polite and considerate. Because patients will be unwell already and their rude behaviour gives a low impact particularly. Doctor was very rude. For confirmed appointments also, the waiting period will be 40 minutes but the duration of consultation will be less than 10 minutes. Diagnosis was improper. Because I was diagnosed for dengue by another doctor just two days later to this consultation. It would have risked my health if I was not alert.

She is a good experienced doctor, no doubt!! but we had a very bad experience with her... after prescribing medicines to that patient(my mother) whose all the reports were normal but she (the patient) still undergoing a lot of knee and joint pains, made her to go to the doctor( Sudha Menon).. **** *** ****** *** ******* *** *** **** ** **** **** ******* *** ***** ***** She guided us saying 'we will start everything new, let's see the result. Review back after 1.5 months and while Coming back get the same tests done'. After the given duration, getting the tests done we were shocked to see the reports. Everything was high ******* ***** *** *** ******** After showing the reports to the doctor and my mother asked her directly, Why everything is high? .. Asking like this made her (the doctor) so fuming that *** ******* ******** ******* ******** *** ****** ** *** ********* ** *** ********* ******* ***** * ****** ***** ******* ****** *** ********** ** *** ****** *** ***** *************In our entire experience with the doctor she was very RUDE and IMPOLITE.. So I hope this review helps some one take decision before going to her..
Dr. Sudha is a very thorough person , she will ask you all the questions necessary to get minute details out and recommend accordingly , *** ** * **** ************ ****** *** has a lot of patience
I had to visit Dr Sudha on two instances both of them were great
My dad as admitted to fortis because of upper respiratory tract infection and she was pretty good at diagnosis and giving treatment both
She doesn't jump for high dose medicines and also is very open about the fact that she is a patient person and will only deal with high dosages only when it's required or analysis is done accordingly
I would recommend Dr Sudha for general medicine

Doctor didn't even see me after 1 hour of appointment, when I asked she was so arrogant and said don't even talk about appointment, i have so many patients and everyone has fever and bla bla. After paying 550 rs you shouldn't be given such arrogant treatment.

She is very friendly and explained us the patient situation on a daily basis and ofcourse she pulled off my wife's death. She saved my wife who was critically admitted in hospital with possible H1N1 attack and severe resperatory issues.
I would recommend her
