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

Thank you Dr. Li

from Palmer in DC • March 10, 2020
I can't offer enough praise for Dr. Li. He is incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and patient. Of course, his diagnostic skills are superb too! But the best thing about Dr. Li is his enthusiasm. I remember the first time he used his hand held ultra sound device during my annual visit. He was so eager to show me how it worked and what I could learn from it. What a treat to have a doctor Read more...


He’s always there for you and always right about you.

from Michael in MD • February 27, 2018
Hes always there for you and always right about you. Hes a family physician and even a friend. What more could any patient ask for. At a time when the concep of a family physician seems quaint and antiquated, hes a model of being cared for and cared about.

Thank you, Dr. Li, for all you’ve done for our family.

My late husband was Dr. Lis patient first. Several years before, he had been diagnosed with a rare abdominal malignancy, pseudomyxoma peritonei, and had had numerous surgeries and treatments. When our internist retired, he said, Theres only one person in the DC area that Id recommend for you, Ted Li. And, how right he was! Later, I became Dr. Lis patient, too. Dr. Li guided my husbands care Read more...
