Dr Terri MD-Narrative Bio January 2020

1st introduced to America over 20 years ago as the young Neonatologist featured on ABC’s Houston Medical, Good Morning America and Lifetime’s Women Doc when she as her patient died on unexpectedly on national television and worried about her ability to balance marriage, medicine and family…Dr Terri or Dr.Boo as she is affectionately called, is America’s Favorite Neonatologist! She has been happily married for 25 years and is a proud mommy to her daughter Stevi a rising Veterinary School Student completing her 1st year and her son Terrence a rising animator completing his freshman year of college as well as one grandferret Mushi, a Golden Lab named Mulan and Staffordshire Terriers named Grace and Mercy!

Unlike many who find themselves in the career of medicine,Dr Terri has known since she I was five years old that she was going to be the kind of doctor that took care of the babies in the plastic boxes, the babies that could fit in your hand… a preemie baby doctor …inspired by her own sister who was born in 1968 at Charity Hospital in New Orelans weighing only a pound. She’s been blessed to achieve that dream by completing her bachelors as an esteemed graduate of Prairie View A&M University and her Medical and Masters and Public Health’s Degree from the UCLA/Charles Drew School of Medicine. Dr Terri says that she is blessed to live her passion and ministry every day in the care of premature babies and their families and the instruction of health care providers in the art of comfort care.

She is a highly requested key note speaker known in the industry for my authenticity and compassion in discussing challenging topics around racial health disparities and neonatal palliative care but especially for her humor, passion and dynamic one of a kind approach to telling it like it is for the sake of her families, our babies and our communities. ,She’s a two-time best-selling author and has been featured in several national online magazines including Essence Magazine, Ebony, Huggies, NBC, and Black Doctor.Org.

Her expertise has led her to serve as Chair for the March of Dimes Steering Committee for African American Outreach for the State of Texas where she has had the pleasure of implementing a number of effective programs for community outreach around maternal and infant birth outcomes. She additionally serve son the National Board for the Perinatal Loss and Infant Death Alliance, ( PLIDA) and Return To Zero where she highlights disparities in the area of bereavement and neonatal Loss.

Dr. Terri’s greatest passion is empowering families to take care of their premature infants before, during and after life in the NICU through informed choices made easy and empowering health care providers to assist families in making difficult choices through her Neonatal Palliative Care Course for hospitals, telemedicine neonatal follow up clinic, her books, talks and direct patient care.. She likes to say that her mission is to provide hope for the journey. One baby, one family, one hospital, once community at a time. To pause for the Gift of Hope.

Are you ready to receive the Gift of Hope? Let’s face it there’s only one Dr. Terri! She looks forward to sharing with you today and leaving you light for your journey!
