Theodore Teddy Yip, MD

I decided to become a speech-language pathologist (SLP) because I have a passion for helping people communicate their wants and needs efficiently as well as assisting with cognitive changes that are making it difficult to live their daily lives. I take a patient-centered approach to therapy because I want to make sure the goals/treatment plan is individualized and functional for each person that I treat. My areas of interest include treating cognitive-communicative deficits related to memory, attention, executive function and problem solving skills after a stroke, traumatic brain injury or ischemic changes to the brain. Outside of work, I enjoy trying new restaurants and traveling to different states with my friends.

The majority of my work involves caring for individuals in an outpatient setting that suffer from Esophageal or General GI Diseases. I am also involved in research involving Esophageal Disorders with a focus on Esophageal Cancer, Barrett's Esophagus, Eosinophilic Esophagitis, GERD and Esophageal Motility disorders.
