Living with a long-term condition requires regular review, medication monitoring, and the kind of unhurried appointment that NHS care often cannot provide. At AristoGP, Dr Georgios Schoinas offers ongoing chronic disease management for patients who want consistent, thorough care for conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, and asthma.
Conditions Managed
- Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes: Review of your HbA1c and glucose control results, medication management, lifestyle guidance and referral to dietitian or specialist where appropriate. Many patients find that a 30-minute private appointment allows proper discussion of their results and what they mean, rather than a brief update on a single number.
- Hypertension (high blood pressure): Blood pressure monitoring, medication review and adjustment, cardiovascular risk assessment, and lifestyle advice. Uncontrolled hypertension is one of the most significant preventable causes of stroke and heart attack.
- Thyroid disease: Ongoing TSH and thyroid hormone monitoring for patients on levothyroxine or carbimazole. Dose review and discussion of symptoms that may indicate under- or over-treatment.
- High cholesterol (hyperlipidaemia): Lipid profile review, statin management, cardiovascular risk scoring, and lifestyle review.
- Asthma and COPD: Inhaler technique review, symptom control assessment, peak flow monitoring where indicated, and prescription management.
- Other long-term conditions: Including gout, anaemia, and other conditions requiring regular review and monitoring.

- Review of any recent blood test or monitoring results

What happens after the assessment?

Not every condition can be treated at AristoGP, and an appointment does not guarantee a particular treatment or prescription.
