Dear Dr. Theodore Li,
Today we celebrate “you” on Doctors’ Appreciation Day! And I personally wish to thank you for the many years in which you have helped me to maintain my overall good health (for I believe nearly 20 years). On this day, I also want to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to you—for not only your vast knowledge of internal medicine—but for your medical… See more
I'm 75 now and my wife and I have been patients of Dr. Li for the last 25 years. We have always marveled at his thoroughness and his hands-on approach caring for his patients, and that he's always just a phone call away even on vacation in Hawaii or India.
In the fall of 2020 at my annual physical, Dr. Li suggested I was due for a colonoscopy. I told him that I had my last… See more
Dr. Ted Li provides such a caring approach in the annual physical. He's comfortably methodical, and his explanations are clear and reassuring. You actually look forward to being evaluated!
Many, many years ago, we learned that my husband’s employer was switching to a new health insurer, one that did not include the network we were using. Almost the same day, Washingtonian Magazine published its annual list of the city’s best doctors. Dr. Theodore Li’s profile leapt out at me; I made an appointment the same day. We have never looked back.

Through this means, Dr. Li, the opportunity to express what a difference you give to my life. Not just addressing the health issues, per se (and they have not been inconsiderable) but, with your care, the given confidence to know I always have in my corner such a master practitioner. Your thoroughness, your thoughtfulness, your clarity of explanation, your patience with me, your remarkably… See more
I have known Dr. Li for over 40 years, since I first moved to Washington, DC. He was my first primary physician in the DC area, much before he joined MDVIP. I moved out of the country and when I returned there was a hiatus in my professional collaboration with him. During that period I had a number of other good primary care physicians, but I finally decided to return to Dr. Li who, by that… See more
I would like to express my gratitude for Dr Li. Hi patient, kind and carefully listens to each concern that I have alleviating my concerns, testing when necessary, and providing careful advice and exploring each issue until a resolution is found. As i have been navigating some symptoms that could be compared to COVID19, he has shown tremendous patience in answering my questions and… See more
In studying Plato's account of the Trial of Socrates we discover that Socrates never refers to those trying him as judges. It was Socrates' refusal to equate those conducting his trial as truly judges. One can claim a title but fail to possess the necessary attributes. Because I am not a medical doctor, I initially hesitated to proclaim my view that Dr. Theodore Li is a doctor's doctor--one… See more
One morning I woke up with mild to moderate abdominal pain. I didnt think much of it because I was suffering with a lower back injury from a recent car accident and sometimes shooting pain radiated out to different areas of around my waist. In order to sooth the pain I took a hot bath. The pain didnt go away but got a little worse. I called Dr Li's office for an appointment expecting to… See more
Dr. Li is amazing - he takes great care of his patients, using his knowledgable, careful and empathetic review of the information you share with him and that he learns from his physical exam. He is a great listener, which I think truly is a critical characteristic for a doctor, and hd offers creative solutions. A typical story: over a weekend, I fell and broke my hand and smashed up my… See more
