Post ER follow-up, so it was short notice, but Dr. T had clearly read and considered all the data and contextualized it against meds and history. Efficient and informative visit. Offered analysis, clear plan going forward, all v understandable

I recommend Dr. Theobald to everyone! She's a fantastic doctor, and I always feel better after a visit with her. She always asks me what questions I have, and listens to the answers. She's the reason I'm on anxiety meds - but that's a good thing! She noticed an issue that I didn't even realize I had and the meds she recommended made it 100% better. She's fabulous.

This was another wonderful visit with Dr. Theobald. She really listens to my concerns and offers potential solutions. She makes sure that I am informed and understand what choices I have. She never makes anything feel weird, even when we broach sensitive topics.

Dr. Theobald is an excellent physician. She is always willing to listen to my concerns and provide appropriate information so that we can, jointly, make decisions about my health. I don't know how I lucked out having her as my PCP for so many years but I am extremely grateful. I trust her completely,

Dr Theobald is always well prepped on my history and issues, and I try to do the same, plus she listens carefully, takes all questions seriously, and answers thoughtfully, so visits always feel efficient and productive. I am grateful for her expertise and manner, and feel lucky to have such a great doctor.
