Linda Theotokatos, D.O.             

Medical Director

Dr. Theotokatos—known to her patients as Dr. Theo—is a board-certified obesity medicine specialist and family physician dedicated to helping patients achieve lasting weight loss and better overall health. She is a diplomate of both the American Board of Obesity Medicine and the American Board of Family Medicine, and an active member of the Obesity Medicine Association, where she stays current with the latest evidence-based treatments.

Dr. Theo earned her Bachelor of Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Midwestern University’s Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed her residency in family medicine at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Early in her career, Dr. Theo saw firsthand how strongly obesity contributes to chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. That experience shaped her mission: to not only treat weight, but to prevent, reverse, and improve obesity-related diseases through personalized, medically guided care.

With more than 18 years of experience in obesity medicine, Dr. Theo is the founder of Egea Medical Weight Loss Center. She takes a compassionate, individualized approach—combining science, clinical expertise, and ongoing support—to help patients achieve sustainable results and long-term health improvements.
