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.

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
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 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
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
Dr. Li has been my husband’s and my primary physician since the 1990’s. I believe he saved my husband’s life. When my husband, a thin and fit person, was 48 he developed unusual symptoms that specialists ascribed to stomach problems. Dr. LI evaluated his status and the reports and said: “No. I believe this is cardiovascular.” Within a week, my husband had a double bypass. He is now 71,… 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
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… See more
