Christopher Terry, M.D.

Anesthesiologist in Raleigh

Meet the Doctor

Dr. Christopher Terry followed a unique path to medicine, spending nearly a decade as a seafood cook before earning his undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Chemistry. He moved to the Raleigh area in the late 1990s to work as a research chemist for a major pharmaceutical company. Nearly a decade later, he discovered his true calling in patient care and was inspired to pursue anesthesia as a way to combine his love of people, communication, and technical problem-solving.

After earning his medical degree and completing his residency in Anesthesiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Dr. Terry practiced with a large multispecialty anesthesia group, caring for patients across a wide variety of surgical procedures and settings. He served in many leadership roles within his anesthesia group and the hospitals he supported.

In 2025, he joined the Raleigh Neurosurgical Clinic, drawn to the team’s commitment to compassionate patient-centered care and excellence in surgical outcomes. Outside of work, Dr. Terry is passionate about cycling, cooking, and large-scale carpentry projects as well as camping and boating with his wife and their four sons around Falls Lake.
