Years of Experience
Our Medical Services
The practice provides a full range of adult care, including:
Primary Care
Acute care, preventive and maintenance care and chronic disease management for all age groups from young adults forward.
Internal Medicine
Chronic disease management with individualized treatment plans.
Geriatrician
Dr. Theodore’s approach to geriatric care is deeply personal, combining diagnosis and treatment with family involvement, when appropriate, and active participation in providing guidance and collaborative support to the patients and their families in order to achieve custom arrangements for their quality of life and end of life services on an individual basis.
Telehealth Appointments
Telehealth is available for appropriate urgent or semi-urgent care which does not require in-office
visit. This option is especially useful for patients managing chronic conditions, reviewing test
results, or needing brief consultations without an in-office visit.
Telehealth is available for follow-up appointments that do not require physical presence at the
doctor’s office. Telehealth is available for established patients at the doctor’s discretion, and
after hours, when absolutely necessary.
Telehealth can be available, at the doctor’s discretion, under certain circumstances for new
patients who require immediate attention when in-office visit appointments cannot be scheduled
straightaway and if there is any pressing medical need pending an in-office visit.
Patient Spotlight
Merral and Dr. Theodore
Merral Frost was my patient for 50 years. She lived until just shy of her 101st birthday. I remember her with love, gratitude, and deep respect.
In Memory of Merral
I remember her with love, gratitude, and deep respect. She was a source of strength, wisdom, and kindness, and her presence was always an encouraging force in my life. I felt honored when she carefully researched physicians and selected me as someone she believed would listen to her concerns with compassion. It was a privilege to provide her with attentive, dedicated care, and I found great fulfillment in supporting her health and well-being throughout her journey. Caring for her was deeply rewarding.
Though her passing leaves an emptiness that can never truly be filled, her love remains with me in countless ways. I am grateful for every moment, every conversation, and every expression of her love. She never missed an opportunity to send a card or flowers or make a telephone call, with sincere wishes for every birthday, anniversary or birth of a child.
While I miss her deeply, I find comfort in knowing that her influence continues through the lives she touched and the family she cherished and shared with me.
"After playing for ten years in the NFL, I needed to find a doctor that could help me manage my health. I came upon a local doctor in my neighborhood by the name of Margaret Theodore. She and her staff sat me down and listened to my family medical history. During those sessions she found out about our family history of prostate cancer. We started doing a PSA test at the age of 35, which is not the normal age to do these tests. At the age of 37, I was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer. Dr. Theodore gave me advice on picking a urologist and I was able to go in and have it treated. Here we are 20 years later, spending time with family and friends. I’m so thankful to Dr. Theodore and staff for their many years of service to me, my family, and the Tampa Bay community."
Ricky Reynolds
"Dr. Theodore is a wonderful, caring physician! I have been privileged to know and be a patient of hers for more than 35 years. Her care, her compassion, and medical expertise have guided me through many medical issues, health concerns and definitely supported me through many life-changing events over the years. She truly cares about each of her patients. My mother was also privileged to have been a patient of Dr. Theodore for more than 30 years. My mother lived to the wonderful age of 98 years old."
Yvonne Miller
"I attribute a large part of my longevity to Dr. Theodore providing me with holistic health care for 50 of my 100 years. This has been the secret."
