Care Philosophy

This content was provided by Dr. Terry "I started playing the piano and violin as a young child and music remains an important part of my life. In medical school I discovered neurosurgery and never looked back. I am continually awed by the brain and spinal cord - the structures that allow us to be fully human engaging in productive activity and allowing us to create music art technology and culture. For me the joy of learning and perfecting a manual task and translating that into something beautiful and meaningful was central to my life before medicine and remains so in my career as a neurosurgeon. In my practice I strive to provide patient-centered thoughtful technically excellent care that optimizes function and quality of life."
