"My husband was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation after a fainting spell and I was terrified, especially since he already has the HLA-B27 gene mutation. Our cardiologist mentioned inflammation but didn't explain that it could be connected to the gene. Dr. Terrell helped me understand how autoimmune conditions can affect the heart and prepared me with specific questions about whether my husband's HLA-B27 status changes his AFib management or not. At our next appointment, I could ask much more important questions."

"When my dad was hospitalized with viral meningitis, we were getting information from the ER doctor, neurologist, infectious disease specialist, and hospitalist - but none of it made sense together. One said his spinal fluid looked good, another mentioned inflammation markers, and someone else talked about antiviral medications. Dr. Terrell helped me understand what each specialist was focusing on and how viral meningitis differs from bacterial. He coached me on specific questions to ask about my dad's cognitive function, expected recovery timeline, and more. "

"As a Board Certified Patient Advocate, I see where patients struggle the most, and one of the biggest gaps is truly understanding a diagnosis. What is often missing in healthcare is the human side, and Dr. Terrell brings that. He an ER Doc who has transitioned into advocacy, and he brings something incredibly needed to this space. He has the MD behind his name, but he also has the heart of an advocate. That combination is rare. For the past three years, I have been out in the community, building relationships and waiting to see who would step into this space in a meaningful way. When I met Dr. Terrell, it felt like I had won the lottery. That is how significant this is about a community I care about. He helps people make sense of their diagnoses and breaks things down in a way that is clear, grounded, and understandable. He meets people where they are. He takes the time to explain, not rush. He brings both clinical expertise and compassion, and that is exactly what is missing for so many patients. I care deeply about this space, and I do not say this lightly. If you have questions about a diagnosis or need help understanding what you are being told, you would be missing out not to work with him. He is who I would trust with my own family. I do not receive any kickbacks for doing what is right. I share this because I believe in patients having access to the right people at the right time."

Dr. Terrell has been an exceptional physician, guiding both me and my husband through an incredibly difficult time. Although he new on his journey toward becoming a patient advocate, the level of care, insight, and professionalism he provides is already outstanding. He first supported me through my recovery from hip surgery, and now he continues to be a steady source of guidance as we navigate my husband’s bladder cancer. His combination of deep medical knowledge and genuine compassion makes a profound difference in our experience. We trust Dr. Terrell completely and feel truly supported under his care.
