Theisz Gordon W MD

My wife and I still haven’t found a doctor like Dr. Theisz. :(
In fact, we are expecting twins and have considered driving to Falls Church from Greensboro, NC for at least our children’s shots. Dr. Theisz is a jewel and greatly missed by us.

I love Dr. Theisz! He is very caring and concerned about his patients. My children (now adults) and I have been patients of his since he opened his practice. His staff is very helpful and kind — — in fact I just called in to make an appointment and they have immediate openings that I am unable to make — — try that at another practice.
Dr. Theisz is calm, thorough and thoughtful in his diagnosis… he is bright and just an all around good person. I highly recommend his practice!

I have been seeing Dr. Theisz for over two years and am extremely happy to have found such a great doc right in Falls Church. He is personable, caring and very knowledgable. Wouldn’t go to anyone else

I am a patient of Dr. Theisz and have been for several years. I am grateful that I found Dr. Theisz as he has been a great family-​style doctor. He is attentive, has good «bedside manners», contacts you directly by phone and email if need be, and has a great staff. I have come into his office with a list of questions and he dutifully and patiently answers every one. Most importantly, I have always met with Dr. Theisz and never physician assistants — a more common practice in other offices to churn out patients with minor maladies. The face-​to-​face contact with Dr. Theisz has been and continues to be the reason I call him my doctor.

I always get an appointment right away and he’s very attentive and show genuine concern. Only thing is I wish the rooms weren’t so «Kid Focused», makes me feel like I’m at a paediatrician’s office, lol.

Dr. Theisz is, hands down, the best family practice doctor out there. My husband and I tried another doctor after moving farther out into Virginia, and we ran (RAN) back to his practice as soon as possible. He is thorough, listens carefully, and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I have been to several doctors over the past 15+ years. Dr. Theisz’s office is BY FAR the worst I have been to. They have unethical billing practices, nickel and dime you for everything, and then try to justify the billing practices by saying large insurance companies don’t pay them in a timely manner. How is that my problem?
Why should you make me come in multiple times over multiple days just so you can submit extra insurance invoices. I asked him point blank why his office did that and he told me it was so he could charge more to the insurance firms. He has the information needed to serve his patient right at the first visit (i.e. checkup) but he forces a follow up visit just so he can file another claim. I just called to transfer my records to a new doctor and the lady in the office said it would cost us 50 cents per page. 50 cents per page for OUR OWN records.
DO NOT GO HERE you will regret it.

when I came in the first time (March 2013), I listed several symptoms/​complaints. Dr. Theisz was not concerned with my health. Rather, he was more elated that I came b/​c I found good reviews and wanted to know which websites I found them on. This was the primary topic of conversation. Then I was told to come back for a physical to run a few blood tests. I came back and got my blood drawn and re-​visited my symptoms/​complaints, which, again, he heard nothing. He was so caught up in himself that he didn’t hear what I was saying. He said he’d call me with the results of the blood tests and he sent me away with a piece of paper stating only one of the many symptoms that I was facing, and recommendations that had nothing to do with what I came in for. I’ve been to several doctors and specialists over the past year or so trying to find what was wrong. Most of the nurses I saw, including his, seemed overly concerned about how low my blood pressure was. I thought that was a good thing, until I looked it up on several websites to learn that I was not in a good place. They called me back to tell me my blood work was fine and that was it. I took my blood work to another doctor and she was concerned that he didn’t do anything about it, but said that some doctors won’t run additional tests b/​c insurance doesn’t cover it and they don’t want to pay. I didn’t understand that b/​c I would’ve paid out of pocket, which I did for this other doctor. She ran a few more tests than Dr. Theisz did and found one of the problems. I feel that I wasted my time and money with him…

I searched long and hard for a GP who could take care of me. He seemed great and thorough. There was just TWO problems… First, he didn’t take my first few complaints seriously. I had a full panel blood test and it came back with a low Vitamin D level. He told me to get some sun.
After a year of complaints to him, my legs went numb. He finally ordered an MRI on my lumbar region and a neurologist to read the report.
The neurologist listened to my list of complaints and diagnosed me with a 98% chance of Multiple Sclerosis after a few minutes of chatting and and confirmed it with a MRI a week later. My brain and spine were riddled with lesions.
I went BACK to Theisz and still trusted him with my «care» and asked about a node on my wrist. He told me not to worry and it was normal, I was being silly about a tiny node on my wrist and I was getting old. When I asked for a copy of my records he asked me if I was thinking of leaving him? I don’t do well with confrontation and just decided to lie and say I needed it for my own records.
I asked for a second opinion from a hand surgeon… I’m scheduled for surgery on BOTH hands because of serious issues!
IMO he did two good things;
He gave me a referral notice for a neurologist and (on my insistence) gave me a referral for a hand surgeon.
He’s probably great for a list of common maladies but if you have a serious concern, I would go on a further quest.
I now call up my neurologist for anything I need and I am happy.

I cannot express how much I appreciate Dr. Theisz’s care for my son and myself over the last few years. He is a great family doctor in his demeanor, and he absolutely nailed a few diagnoses for things that were definitely not obvious to us. His referrals to other physicians were spot on.
In my travels, I’ve told people what a great family Dr we have in him and one of my biggest regrets in moving away will be not having Dr. Theisz as our family physician. Thank You Dr. T!!!

I am new to the area and went is search of an general doctor. I looked around online and checked for good reviews. What i found was all the good Doctors where snobs. It would be easier to get a house loan then an appointment with some of the top Doctors in the area; Yet not so with Dr. Gordon W Theisz. His staff was helpful friendly and did not give me grief about which insurance company i used and his ratings online where quite good.
Still, going to a new doctor is scary, you are putting you life in the hands of someone you know little about not to mention often dealing with huge egos. However, i found that Dr. Gordon W Theisz broke all the stereo types. He was happy, upbeat, liked to laugh (at appropriate things), and very down to earth. He also was willing to work with me because I don’t want to use a lot of medicines but rather want to learn to live healthy, and change my lifestyle. He agreed, he would only put me on temporary medicines while we work on some of the surrounding causes and issues. He was very open to patient input and seemed to be excited that his patient wanted more then a passive role in treatment.
Secondly, I could not help but notice his office was receptive and appreciative of Christian faiths (most likely others too) in that is had among an assortment of other reading material also material of faith. Dr. Gordon W Theisz knew my denomination when i brought it up, spoke kindly about it, and shared with me many of his patients are people of faith and that he cares for many of the local Ministers and their families. Not that is a major selling point on a doctor, but it does indicate that a doctor will be more open to holistic treatment then not.
Over all i was quite impressed and don’t think i could have made a better choice.

I have been a patient of Dr. Theisz’s for over 4 years. Nearly every member of my family is a patient and we all appreciate his skills as a doctor and excellent bedside manner.
Not only is he a caring doctor, he also tries to help patients get the care they need in a way that meets their needs. For example, I had a condition that needed testing and together we found a way to get the answers I needed in the least invasive way possible. I appreciate Dr. Theisz to this day and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great physician in the area.

I searched the internet long and hard for a general practice doctor. I’ve never had a doctor I went to steadily and wanted to obtain one. I used the power of the internet to search for the doctors most highly reviewed. Dr. Thiesz came up as one of the highest in the DC metro area. I live in Germantown which is about 45 minutes from his office. I figured it would be worth the drive if he was as good as his reputation.
I just saw him yesterday and he was great. Wait time in the room was less than 15 minutes and he came in with a smile on his face and happy to see me. Was not at all in a rush. Sat and talked to me until I had all my questions answered. I was very happy with my experience and look forward to years of working with Dr. Thiesz.

After years of «No care» Tricare, i recently changed insurance carriers and needed a new doctor. Dr Theisz was able to see me quickly about a particular symptom i was experiencing; he identified the cause right away and arranged the tests necessary to determine treatment options. He is warm and caring; he listens. I was also impressed that he mentors medical students in his office. I think that sort of personal training will contribute to a generation of doctors with an excellent bedside manner.
