About
Dr Olympia Tsilochristou is a Consultant Allergist at the UK's largest Department of Allergy at Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation Trust in London. She has more than ten years of expertise in the field of allergy.
Dr Tsilochristou graduated from medical school in 2005 in Greece and completed advanced specialty training in allergy in 2014. She earned her PhD in allergic rhinitis, with an emphasis on local allergic rhinitis, a kind of allergic rhinitis that may go undiagnosed due to negative skin prick and blood testing for respiratory allergens. She then worked for a year as a researcher in molecular allergology at Charite University in Berlin, Germany, before joining the research teams led by Professors Lack, du Toit, and Till at King's College London. During this time, she examined the links between food allergy and eczema and undertook clinical trials on peanut oral immunotherapy and a preclinical trial looking into vaccines against peanut, egg, and milk allergy. Her work was subsequently published in prestigious peer-reviewed allergy publications.
Dr Tsilochristou has extensive experience in allergic rhinitis and allergen immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis, and has co-authored the European Guidelines on Allergen Immunotherapy for Allergic Rhinitis. She is also one of two clinicians at Guy's Hospital who run the Food Allergy Clinic where she reviews adults with food allergies, including those who suffer from eczema, with the goal of identifying potential food triggers for their eczema.
She also reviews a large number of patients with urticaria and hypersensitivity reactions to medicines and wasp and bee stings.
Dr Tsilochristou has long wait lists but can occassionally provide urgent consultations. Please contact her Office at info@myallergyclinic.uk if you want to arrange for this.

DR Olympia is very knowledgable, asked for a comprehensive history, explained everything and answered all my questions. I’m very happy with the next steps we are taking. Communication with the practice manager as well has been excellent and very timely.
5
Very thorough in her explanation of the underlying condition. Dr Olympia initially listened carefully to all my symptoms and then explained my condition from a biological point of view of exactly what was happening and also gave excellent analogies to make it easier to understand. I would definitely recommend her.
5
Listened to all of my symptoms, spent time talking through options - a good experience for me
5
I have been very happy with the received test, which was highly customized to my circumstances. She took a lot of time to establish my medical history and to listen to what I said. The test was consequently highly customized and relevant to my diet. It seems that she even discovered another -possibly serious condition- from a casual remark that I had made.
5
Had a wonderful experience with Dr Tsilochristou - would highly recommend it! She patiently answered all of my questions and made sure I was clear on the next steps of my treatment. The entire process was very smooth and quick which I really appreciated!
5
Very friendly and competent doctor who took her time and listened carefully. The anamnesis was very thorough. She explained things well without being patronising.
