Dr. George Theodore, MD

Dr Theodore and his staff are all very professional and knowledgeable, as well as kind in their approach to get surgery scheduled, taking the proper steps taken prior to surgery, education of the patient at all times, and planning well for followup care. I have been in Dr. Theodore's care for a year from start to finish of my bunion surgery. He is a wonderful surgeon and I highly recommend him and his staff as they do great work and are realistic at all times about diagnoses, prognoses and follow-up. You are in very good hands with this team!

Dr. Theodore performed a toe fusion for me in 2019. He is a great surgeon and takes great pride in his work. The procedure had a great result and my hallux rigidly is now pain free. The only issue I have is that his recovery instructions were always vague. I tried to follow his instructions at the same time as I was trying to live my life. But, every time I returned, I was chastised for doing too much. He was clearly upset with me. His case note in my MGH record says that I failed to follow his instructions. Maybe he assumes that common sense would guide you. But, because of his vague instructions about level of activity, I guess it didn't, at least for me.Great result despite this.

We saw Dr Theodore after seeing two other Boston Foot and Ankle specialists for a college sports injury. His professionalism, attention to detail and maturity were exemplary. She was not rushed. I would highly recommend him. We were only later made aware of all the pro athletes he's treated. After having met him this was not a surprise.

Dr. Theodore and his PA Kayla McKinnon have me walking pain free and I couldn’t be happier! I met them several years ago when I developed pain in both first metatarsal joints. Surgery was indicated when steroid injections gave me no relief. I went into each surgery feeling informed, optimistic, and confident that they would do everything they could to ensure I had the best possible outcome. They prepared me well, explaining the surgery and recovery, setting realistic goals and expectations. They were accessible by phone for any questions and spent time at appointments making sure I was doing okay. Clancy, their Administrative Assistant (a very important member of the team) is fantastic! Emails, phone calls, appointments, paper work, she does it all! I feel lucky to have had this team take care of me! Thank you all!

The best doctor! He explains everything he wants to do and really cares for you I am so happy I went to him for my ankle fusion surgery!

i have seen Dr Theodore for multiple years and many problems. He is caring, and has a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend Dr Theodore to anyone with foot problems. He is a master of his craft!

He saved both my legs. I suffered compartment syndrome. Couldnt walk 2 miles without the legs acting up. A year after dr. Theodores treatment? I am just about to start running. Thank you doctor Theodore and team at mass gen!

Truly amazing. Great doctor and surgeon!!!!

In late 2006 Dr Theodore performed an open reduction of a trimaleolar fracture of my wife's left ankle. Today at age 70, she walks, holds and is full functioning without pain or the slightest suggestion of impairment. This is without question the result of the medical brilliance and gifted hands of this skilled physician.

Dr. Theodore is a good doctor, but really bad bed side manner. I gave him 5 stars since it asks about recommending him. I had complicated ankle surgery and he did a great job

Dr. T. is amazing - he is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I do not think you could have a better doctor for his specialty. He is conservative and helps his patients find the most effective while least invasive answer for their situation. A great primary care once told me - "If you ever need to go under the knife - make sure you have a surgeon that cares about his/her patient" Dr. T. is such a surgeon. His immediate staff - such as Kayla his PA are super too.

Dr. Theodore is definitely one of the best orthopedic surgeons out there. If you are in the Boston area, go the extra mile to book an appointment. I had ACL reconstruction surgery done earlier this month and am absolutely 1000% satisfied with my procedure. I believe Dr. Theodore goes the extra mile to listen and dedicates all his efforts to each patient. The day of surgery, Dr. Theodore came to speak with me at 6AM - I was told by the anesthesiologist most doctors do not show that early to prep.

Dr. Theodore is the best of the best. Noone can beat his diagnosis and outcomes as the celebs and athletes can attest.

Went to see for second opinion and am very glad I did. Reasons for needing surgery were very sound. Healing is progressing very well.

Dr. Theodore revised my reconstructed ACL October 3rd. The visits are on time and the staff are professional and efficient. Dr. Theodore explained preop, postop procedures and answered any questions. The surgery went better than I expected and the results are better than the reconstruction (done by someone else ). He is a very skilled surgeon that is passionate about what he does, cares about his patients and their outcome. Dr. Theodore is a 1st class doctor and MGH is 1st class hospital.

Saw Dr Theodore in 2010 for a torn tendon in my ankle. Surgery ensued and all turned out great. I love this guy. He's patient, thorough, and listens. He never makes you feel like he has to get your visit over quickly, always makes you feel like you are his most important patient of the day. Now I'm back to see him again for a possible torn meniscus. I'm so glad I have a relationship with Dr Theodore and that I have the utmost confidence in him.

I had been seeing Dr. T. For my ankle. He explained things well and thoroughly. I had a follow up appointment. The weekend before appointment a knife fell and cut my leg. I went to a nearby hospital 3 times because it wouldn't stop bleeding, they & said it was fine. When I went to Dr T on Monday for my scheduled appt. for my ankle he asked about the bandage & if he could take a look. Long story short, I was operated on two days later because my tendon was 98% torn and ready to snap!
