Dr Theobald is the best doctor I have ever had. She is so knowledgeable, caring, empathetic, and thorough. I would rather see her than any specialist.

If possible, I would rate Dr. Theobald with a 10! She is knowlegeable, listens to my concerns and, together, we develop an action plan. She is never dismissive of any issue I may bring up and is not defensive if I make suggestions. She is an excellent physician. She takes enough time with me so that I don't feel like I am being rushed during appointments. I always come with my list of priorities and she and I discuss each one until we have a game plan. I also appreciate that she is prepared with my past information and has reviewed my blood work numbers prior to coming into the examination room. Lastly, she always puts in orders and referrals herself. This cuts down on the delay and ensures the information is in the system when I call to schedule appointments or labwork. EXCELLENT!!!!

Dr. Theobald is a great provider. After finding out of my insurance cancellation, she's gone above and beyond to help me get my medication refill.
