Meet Theodore Lawson, MD


My top priority is to personally connect with my patients in a meaningful way, to fully understand your concerns, needs and desires for optimal health and to build a trusting and caring doctor-patient relationship with you. My goal, as your personal physician, is to draw on my communication and teaching skills to ensure that you get the information and answers you need in a comfortable, unrushed and supportive environment in order to partner with you to help you achieve your health goals. 

My MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice currently serves El Paso and Teller counties in the Colorado Springs area. I am passionate about my own personal fitness and health, which helps me bring additional insight into my treatment of hypertension, diabetes and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of Theodore Lawson, MD

Dr Lawson literally saved my life!

from JAMES in CO • March 13, 2024
Image provided by: JAMES
It's a bit of a long story, but a good one to highlight how important Dr Ted Lawson has been to my "life". I started seeing Ted as my Primary Care Doc back in 2007 or 2008 when I was still in the Air Force. I appreciated his very professional and knowledgeable demeaner... as well as the fact that he laughed at most of my stupid "opportune humor." In June of 2014 I started feeling lethargic and Read more...

from James in CO • February 12, 2024
Great, knowledgeable MD. I’m still questioning the MDVp value for $1800/year. 🤨

A big decision on surgery

from Kitty in CO • February 11, 2024
Image provided by: Kitty
I had a lot of trouble with my shoulder. Through different tests and exams the orthopedist had found rotator cuff tears. Exercises and therapy were recommended. After a few months of that I still had trouble. I was given a shot. That helped for awhile, but the pain came back. A final choice I could make was surgery. For different reasons that kept being delayed. Dr. Lawson strongly advised not Read more...

Haven’t Met

from Marcia in CO • February 10, 2024
I just became a patient of Dr Lawson January 1st. So far I haven’t had a need to make an appointment. I was fortunate to be able to speak to Dr Lawson at my previous doctor’s retirement. I was introduced to him by his wife. I was sitting next to her as speeches and introductions were being made totally unaware of who she was. I’m so happy that Dr Lawson agreed to take on some new patients. My Read more...

THEODORE S. LAWSON

from Douglas in CO • February 10, 2024
AS one enters the evening hours of one's life, it is critical that one has a doctor to turn to to provide light and understanding on how your way of life will change as you age. It is not only how life might change and I do not refer to drastic or life threatening moments, but more importantly how to address the change and still enjoy the evening. This testimonial is not about a significant Read more...
