Dr. Theo Louridas

What separates a GP you return to from one you avoid? Start with someone who listens properly and doesn't rush you out after three minutes. Add experience managing the conditions your family actually faces — diabetes, hypertension, respiratory issues — with a knowledge of which medications work and which don't, and whether your medical aid will cover them. A competent GP in Soweto understands GoodX and Elixir systems, knows how to write chronic scripts that won't bounce back from medical aid, and can refer you appropriately when you need a specialist without making it feel like you've been abandoned. They keep proper records, explain diagnoses in language that makes sense, and maintain relationships with local pharmacies and labs so your follow-ups run smoothly. Dr. Theo Louridas brings that kind of grounded, practical approach to primary care — the kind where you trust the advice because it's based on experience, not just protocol.
