A doctor focused on you

Theodore Shively, DO

Family Medicine

Hi, I’m Dr. Shively and want to give some insight into who I am, since you are considering me as a potential health care advisor. As a 1978 graduate of The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, my post-graduate training was completed locally at the Detroit Osteopathic Hospital Corporation. I then fulfilled an obligation to the National Health Service Corps and served two years in rural Pennsylvania.

After that, I then went into self-employed solo practice in the same area of Appalachia where we stayed for an additional sixteen years before being recruited to Providence in 1995 to teach Geriatrics. Since 1999 I have contracted my professional efforts to devote them solely to making PrimeCare of Novi the best medical home east of the Mississippi. You will find in me a conservative advisor who emphasizes preventive medicine, who tries to use the least amount of medicine, for the shortest possible period of time that it takes to do the job. I clearly want the job done. I’m easy-going, dedicated and responsive, like to explain and teach, and will work hard to earn your mutual trust and respect.

I savor my long-term patient relationships and am grateful if you are able to endorse our practice to your dearest friends and family. I bring to PrimeCare boundless energy, 40+ years of clinical experience, board certification in Family Practice and Geriatrics, and a Masters in Health Science Administration. I remain fascinated by the potential that technology can bring and its potential for misuse, an avid runner, and distance hiker.
