Dr Andrew Solomon at LSDC Healthcare
Private Consultant in Endocrinology and Internal Medicine in the City of London
Dr Andrew Solomon sees patients at LSDC Healthcare for consultant-led endocrinology and internal medicine care in the City of London. If you have a thyroid problem, a hormone imbalance, PCOS, a pituitary or adrenal condition, diabetes that is not well controlled, or a hormonal concern connected to fertility, sport, or fatigue, Dr Solomon can assess it properly and give you a clear plan.
He qualified from Oxford Medical School with distinction and holds a Doctorate in Medicine (DM) from Oxford, earned through research undertaken as a Fellow at the Royal Free and UCL. He has been a substantive consultant for over 15 years, with particular interests in reproductive endocrinology, diabetes technology, and the endocrine aspects of sport and performance.
Appointments at LSDC Healthcare are available with same-week access and on-site investigations including thyroid ultrasound, hormonal blood testing, and continuous glucose monitoring support.

Why patients choose Dr Andrew Solomon
Dr Solomon trained at Oxford Medical School, graduating with distinction. He went on to complete higher specialty training in general internal medicine, diabetes, and endocrinology across North London teaching hospitals, before undertaking a research fellowship at the Royal Free and UCL that led to his Doctorate in Medicine. His DM research sits within endocrinology, which means his clinical practice is informed by research he conducted himself, not just guidelines he has read.
He holds FRCP (Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians) and has been a consultant for over 15 years, leading specialist endocrine and diabetes clinics and contributing to nationally recognised care pathways, particularly in reproductive endocrinology.
What distinguishes his private practice at LSDC is the breadth of endocrinology he covers well. Many endocrinologists focus on one or two areas. Dr Solomon sees complex thyroid disease, pituitary and adrenal conditions, reproductive endocrinology including PCOS and testosterone, diabetes with advanced technology including insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring, and the hormonal aspects of sport and high-performance health. Patients who have been passed between specialists without a joined-up view tend to find that breadth useful.
He works closely with LSDC’s dietitians, gynaecologists, and gastroenterologists for patients whose conditions cross disciplines.
He is recognised by Bupa, AXA, and Aviva, and all major health insurers. Self-pay patients are welcome.
What Dr Andrew Solomon treats at LSDC Healthcare
Thyroid disease
Thyroid problems are common, frequently under-investigated, and often managed for years without someone sitting down to properly explain what is happening and why. Dr Solomon assesses:
- Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
- Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) and Graves’ disease
- Thyroid nodules and goitre, including on-site ultrasound assessment
- Thyroid cancer follow-up and surveillance
- Abnormal thyroid blood tests that have not been properly explained
- Subclinical thyroid dysfunction and borderline results
He can arrange on-site thyroid ultrasound, antibody testing, and where indicated, referral for isotope scanning or fine needle aspiration.
Pituitary disorders
The pituitary gland controls most of the body’s other hormone systems. Problems here can be subtle and take time to identify. Dr Solomon assesses:
- Prolactinomas and elevated prolactin
- Cushing’s disease (excess cortisol from a pituitary source)
- Acromegaly (excess growth hormone)
- Pituitary hormone deficiencies, including growth hormone deficiency in adults
- Abnormal pituitary MRI findings requiring endocrine interpretation
- Pituitary incidentalomas found on brain imaging done for other reasons
Adrenal disorders
- Adrenal insufficiency and Addison’s disease
- Cushing’s syndrome (excess cortisol from any source)
- Adrenal tumours including phaeochromocytoma and Conn’s syndrome (primary hyperaldosteronism)
- Adrenal incidentalomas found on imaging
- Assessment of the adrenal axis in patients on long-term steroid treatment
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is one of the most common hormonal conditions in women and one of the most inconsistently managed. Dr Solomon provides a structured endocrine assessment covering:
- Hormonal profiling and metabolic assessment
- Management of irregular periods, excess androgens, and fertility concerns
- Insulin resistance and metabolic risk in PCOS
- Weight-related hormonal effects
- Long-term monitoring and treatment planning
For patients who have received a PCOS diagnosis without a clear management plan, or whose symptoms are not improving on current treatment, Dr Solomon’s reproductive endocrinology background is particularly relevant.
Male hormonal health and testosterone
- Testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism), diagnosis and management
- Monitoring and optimisation of testosterone replacement therapy
- Assessment of related symptoms: fatigue, low mood, reduced libido, changes in body composition
- Fertility-related hormonal assessment in men
Reproductive endocrinology and fertility-related hormones
Dr Solomon has a specific interest in the hormonal aspects of reproduction in both men and women. This includes:
- Hormonal causes of subfertility and cycle irregularity
- Thyroid optimisation in women planning pregnancy or in early pregnancy
- Perimenopause and menopause-related hormonal assessment from an endocrine perspective
- Hormonal support in the context of fertility treatment
Diabetes: type 1 and type 2
Dr Solomon has a long-standing interest in diabetes technology. He manages:
- Complex type 1 diabetes, including insulin pump therapy assessment and initiation
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) review and optimisation
- Type 2 diabetes where standard management is not working
- Prevention and monitoring of diabetes-related complications
- Metabolic health assessment in pre-diabetes and insulin resistance
For patients with type 1 diabetes who feel they are not getting the most from their technology, or who want a consultant review of their pump settings and sensor use, this is an area Dr Solomon has followed closely throughout his career.
Sport and exercise endocrinology
The endocrine system is highly sensitive to exercise load, calorie deficit, and stress. Dr Solomon assesses hormonal problems in athletes and high-performers, including:
- Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), formerly known as the female athlete triad
- Exercise-related menstrual disruption and bone health concerns
- Hormonal adaptation to training and the impact of over-training
- Fatigue and performance decline with no obvious medical cause
- Testosterone and cortisol patterns in male athletes
This is an area that most general endocrinologists do not cover in depth. For athletes, amateur or competitive, whose hormonal health has been affected by their training, Dr Solomon’s interest here is a genuine differentiator.
Fatigue and unexplained symptoms in high-performers
Executives, professionals, and athletes presenting with fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, or mood shifts often undergo standard blood tests that come back normal and are then told nothing is wrong. Dr Solomon takes a structured endocrine approach to these presentations, ruling out treatable hormonal causes systematically rather than reassuring patients on the basis of a basic screen.
Calcium and electrolyte disorders
- Hypercalcaemia and hyperparathyroidism
- Hypocalcaemia and hypoparathyroidism
- Vitamin D deficiency and its metabolic consequences
- Electrolyte imbalances with an endocrine cause
Second opinions
Second opinions are available for:
- Complex or unclear endocrine diagnoses
- Abnormal blood tests that have not been properly explained
- Pituitary, adrenal, or thyroid findings on imaging
- Ongoing symptoms despite treatment
- Diabetes technology decisions including pump and CGM suitability
Tests and investigations that may be arranged
Where clinically appropriate, appointments with Dr Solomon at LSDC Healthcare can be supported by:
- Hormonal blood testing, including thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, reproductive, and metabolic panels
- Thyroid and adrenal ultrasound (on-site)
- Dynamic endocrine testing (stimulation and suppression tests) via appropriate pathways
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) review and data interpretation
- Insulin pump therapy assessment and optimisation
- MRI pituitary and adrenal imaging via rapid-access partner pathways
- Bone density (DEXA) scanning via referral pathways
- Specialist laboratory investigations including antibody profiles and urine collections
All investigations depend on individual clinical assessment.
What to expect at your consultation
Your appointment with Dr Andrew Solomon at LSDC Healthcare covers:
- A thorough history of your symptoms, previous diagnoses, medications, and relevant background
- Review of any prior blood tests, imaging, or letters you bring along
- A clear clinical assessment of what is going on hormonally and what, if anything, needs further investigation
- A discussion of your options and a treatment or monitoring plan that is specific to your circumstances
Dr Solomon’s consultations are unhurried. He takes the time to explain the endocrine system in plain terms, which matters for patients who have been told their results are within the normal range but do not feel well. Normal ranges are population averages. Whether they are right for you is a different question.
