Dr. Terris is simply amazing. He made me feel at ease from the first time I met him. He is so kind, caring, and compassionate, in addition to being an excellent surgeon. He explained the parathyroid surgery and answered all my questions. He called me the night of my surgery to check on me and talk to me about what had gone on during my surgery. I needed him a few times during my recovery and he responded personally to my text messages within 15 minutes. He even called me with the biopsy results. He is truly an amazing person. I would highly recommend him and his team for any issues with your parathyroid. You will not be disappointed. Wonderful experience.

Dr. Terris is a pioneer in the field of minimally invasive thyroid and parathyroid surgery. In spite of his position as the Surgical Director of the Augusta University Thyroid/Parathyroid Center, Dr. Terris personally called me to discuss my surgery and concerns several months in advance of the surgery date. On the day prior to the surgery, he met with me and throughly explained the procedure. The day of the surgery, he met with me again regarding the procedure and to address any concerns. Dr Terris has a good bedside manner and gave me the confidence that I would have a good outcome. My post surgery has exceeded my expectations. My pain is minimal, and I am able to eat soft food. I highly recommend Dr. Terris!

Dr. Terris is by far one of the best physicians I have ever encountered. He is very thorough in the explanation of the procedure and risks. On the day of surgery his bedside manner and total care for me as a patient was phenomenal! He even called to check on me that evening. He and his staff at Augusta University are the best.

There are no words to express how wonderful Dr. Terris and his team are. My parathyroid surgery was completely uneventful thanks to this wonderful man. All my appointments were handled with grace and ease and I have never encountered such a friendly and knowledgeable staff. I will remain forever grateful to Dr. Terris for taking me on. I did my research and knew in advance he was the best. My experience confirmed that, 100%.

Awesome Doctor! I was 39 and never had any kind of surgery before. After discover of a 3.5 cm nodule on my thyroid , I was scared to death until I found Dr Terris online. His office staff is great. Phone calls are returned in a timely matter. And he is quick to return emails if you have questions. Day of surgery went smoothly. The hospital staff were friendly and surgery went well as expected. I had a 1 inch incision. Dr Terris gave me a call that night to check on me Dana Moncus

Dr. Terris did my thyroid surgery about 4 years ago. Dr. Terris bedside manners were remarkable! His compassion and love for his patients is truly a GOD sent. I am very thankful to have had an encounter such a wonderful physician and staff. Each of you were a blessing to me in my time of visit and even 2 weeks afterwards. Thank you for the compassion you show towards your patients. It means a lot and I will be forever grateful.

For a woman of 72 years who has never had surgery I was stressed and overwhelmed. But when I met Dr. Terris and his team I immediately knew I was in good hands and my well being and comfortably was their main focus. As previous patients stated he has wonderful bedside manner and it is obvious he has the expertise. He gave my husband his cell number and called him when the surgery was completed. He checked up on me with a couple of days and call directly with the results of a biopsy.
