Patient Reviews

Everyone should be so lucky to have Dr. Theodore, his office administrator Clancy, PA’s and his entire staff in their care corner. The response time to messages, the short timeline for appointments, was just amazing. My experience has been nothing short of exceptional. I have seen Dr. Theodore for a broken foot, broken ankle and fusion surgery. Dr. Theodore listened attentively to my concerns and answered all my questions at every appointment. He made sure I understood the pros and cons of my treatment plan that aligned with my lifestyle and age. I always felt I had as much time as I needed during each appointment. After 2 years with cortisone shots, I decided it was time for fusion surgery on my foot. The morning of surgery, Dr. Theodore provided encouragement that I will be fine (first surgery for me) and remembering my fear of pain, he communicated that to the anesthesiologist. I was also sent home with a nerve block. I never needed any more than 1 pain killer, and over the counter meds. My experience has been nothing short of exceptional. I can’t thank Dr. Theodore enough for his patience, professionalism, and commitment to the excellent medical care I received before, during and after surgery. Dr. Theodore’s goal is to get you back to your active lifestyle, it doesn’t matter if you’re a professional athlete or senior as I am…he will get you there or as close as he can. I am so grateful to have been treated by such a brilliant, compassionate, patient centered surgeon.

Dr. Theodore has been treating me and members of my family for many years. He is a brilliant surgeon and all around great provider, always going above and beyond.

With a devasting injury, Dr. Theodore and the MGH medicine team helped me so much making my recovery that much easier. All very efficient, genuine and supportive people that were so helpful and made my process a lot better than I would have expected!

Dr. Theodore and his team did a fantastic job repairing my Achilles tendon and restoring full mobility. I cannot praise them enough for their expertise, care and re-assurance over what is a long recovery process.

Cannot say enough great things about Dr Theodore. He was always on time, explained everything extremely thoroughly. Took as much time as I needed. Kind, professional and my Achilles repair is as good as new! Highly recommend!!

I have had 2 surgeries with Dr. Theodore and the experience has been world class. I am 55 years old. I had torn my ACL 20 years back, but more recently had developed foot drop type symptoms. After a difficult diagnosis that spanned multiple ortho and neuro doctors, it was established that I had compartment syndrome on my right leg. I was referred to Dr. Theodore by another specialist who did my compartment test. Dr. Theodore educated me that compartment syndrome does not usually correlate to symptoms that I was having, and clearly warned that a fasciotomy to release compartment pressure may not alleviate problems completely. I chose to have the surgery anyway and while the problem was not 100% fixed, the surgery helped in regaining a little more of my mobility. Dr. Theodore was courteous, factual and very certain of every single step during my surgery and rehab. His office staff, particularly Clancy, were extremely responsive to every single need and question. I also greatly benefitted from a great PT in Marie Figueroa in Mass gen, Waltham. Now that the compartment pressure was released, I also wanted to get my ACL (allograft, which in hindsight was 20 years too late :-)!) and & meniscus repair surgery. My first experience was so good that I did not even attempt to go to anybody else. Dr. Theodore and his team were spectacular in setting the expectations and the following up with the surgery and rehab (with Marie Figueroa, of course!). He was realistic, conservative, and has shepherded me through recovery so far. I highly recommend him to be your surgeon if you ever need his services.

I have had the great fortune of being treated by Dr Theodore earlier this year for a very severe broken ankle & Fibula. I have suffered breaks in the past in a very active life but this break at 69 years old made me concerned that I may not recover fully from such a severe break. Dr Theodore evaluated and told me that I had indeed suffered a fairly severe fracture, but that he can fix it and I will recover; music to my ears. I asked if I would be able to walk normally eventually, he told me yes, although we will have to see if there is any residual pain down the road. A few points about Dr Theodore: He is totally honest and upfront about what your situation is and what it will take to enable you to be returned to full recovery. I appreciate that 100%, I don’t want status to be sugar coated, however I want to have an experienced/premier at his vocation provide realistic hope in the end results. Every piece of the approach regarding the prescribed surgical solution to put “humpty-Dumpty (my words) back together, through all steps of the post surgical recovery process was predictable per Dr Theodores orders & predictions. Along the way, my confidence in Dr Theodores sky rocketed and I still brag about my experiences with Dr Theodore to any one that will listen.. Due to Dr Theodores experience and expert surgical techniques, my recovery was basically pain free, which astounded me in regards to the severity of the break. I am 7 months post break and I would estimate I am 95-98% back to normal; a fact that astounds me. If you ever suffer injuries to the areas Dr Theodore services; do yourself a life changing favor & call Dr Theodores office; you can thank me later!! Love this guy

I highly recommend Dr Theodore and the entire practice and staff.I was under his care for multiple foot problems .He was in my opinion 100% correct about the diagnosis and treatment options .I chose surgery 6 months ago.Everything he told me about the surgery and rehab was spot on .This practice was a 10 for me .I don’t usually leave reviews but i can now walk pain free for the first time in over a year.
