Your Doctors
Dr. Theis and Dr. Jackson first met in a medical office, in Bogalusa, Louisiana, in 1996. They return to practice together in 2008, this time in an office they run themselves!
See below for a little more about your doctors and what they can do for you.

Dr. Patty Jackson
Dr. Jackson was raised in Alexandria, Louisiana. She obtained her bachelor's degree from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, followed by her M.D. from LSU Medical School in Shreveport. She completed a residency in internal medicine at Ochsner in New Orleans in 1995 and has been in practice since 1997, primarily in Marrero. She opened her own solo practice located in a portion of the Westside Orthopedics building in June of 2002 and has developed a small but loyal following of patients over the past 7 years.
Dr. Jackson's professional interests include preventive care, well-woman care and management of chronic diseases. In her free time, she enjoys running and the outdoors, photography (you'll find many of her photographs on the office walls, in fact), reading good books, playing with her dog, Claire, and travel. She and her husband are active members of Trinity Episcopal Church in New Orleans. Drs. Jackson and Theis were married in 1999 and live in New Orleans' Uptown neighborhood.

Dr. Jim Theis
Dr. Theis moved to Louisiana permanently in the fall of 1997. He was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Centre College in Danville, KY in 1989. He attended The Ohio State University School of Medicine in Columbus, Ohio for his M.D. degree, and stayed in Columbus to complete a 3-year residency in Family Medicine at Grant Medical Center in 1996.
After practicing on the West Bank for just over 2 years, Dr. Theis joined the faculty of Tulane Medical School in 2000 and spent the next 8 years teaching medical students and seeing patients at his practice in Uptown New Orleans. He is very happy to return to Marrero and West Jefferson as Dr. Jackson's "new" partner! His professional interests include full-spectrum Family Medicine, with a focus on dermatology and skin "lumps and bumps" surgery, sports medicine and mental health. He plans to continue teaching medical students in the office and remains on the clinical faculty of Tulane Medical School.
His personal interests are similar to his wife's: travel, staying active in the outdoors and reading top the list. Dr. Theis also plays the piano and sings in his church choir.
