Dr. Li

Meet Theodore C.M. Li, MD

"Listen to your patients; they’re telling you the diagnosis.” I heard this advice as a student, and it has been the cornerstone of my approach to medicine. The corollary is that health care (what to test and how to treat) must be tailored to the individual. These are exciting times in the medical world with significant advances every day, but it all has to be reconciled with the needs and circumstances of each individual.

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 C.M. Li, MD

Sensitivity to individual differences

from Judith in DC • January 27, 2024
I have been a patient of Theodore Li, MD, for more than 30 years. In addition to being an outstanding diagnostician, he is an enormously empathetic human being. I am very medication sensitive. From the very first time I saw him (after begging my way into his practice), he understood what I was enduring in terms of overdosing and improper prescriptions from other physicians. In his concierge Read more...

Dr. Theodore Li: A Doctor Whose Brillance and Manner Continues to Shine

from Joseph in DC • January 25, 2024
Dr. Li has been my physician for at least thirty-six years. A friend who was Dr. Li's colleague at Georgetown University hospitals recommended him. We were impressed with the thoroughness of Dr. Li's examinations, but even more by his ability to explain to us the significance of what he found and his guidance for good health. Dr. Li never hesitated to send us to specialists, and Read more...

Great Physician

from Mark in DC • January 20, 2024
Dr. Theodore LI has been my primary care doctor since 1996. His informed, attentive and responsive care has been a critical part of my health care. He has been a coordinator of my specialist, incorporating their care into my overall treatment, always aware of what other physicians were prescribing, and communicating with them if he had his own view. Since he joined MDVIP, time spent in any Read more...

The Best of the Best

from farida in DC • January 20, 2024
I cannot speak more highly of Dr Li. My husband and I flew from India to the US. While in India my husband contracted dengue of which we were unaware. On the long flight to the US the situation worsened. By the time we reached the USA, my husband had a high fever, was unable to walk and felt very weak. Dr Li sent us for some tests but before the results came my husband's health worsened. Read more...

Dear Dr. Theodore Li, Today we celebrate “you” on Doctors’ Appreciation Day!
