Meet Dr. Terry

Dr. James Terry was born and raised in East Texas where he developed a love for sports, outdoor activities, and most importantly, found the love of his life and best friend, his wife, Elaine. After completing high school, he spent one year at Tulane University in New Orleans, subsequently transferring to and finishing undergraduate training with a Bachelor of Arts in biology at Austin College in Sherman, TX. Following his time at Austin College, he and Elaine had the first of their three sons, the other two coming along during medical school. After obtaining his initial bachelor's degree, and prior to entering medical school, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in medical technology sciences at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas and spent a short time working as a medical technologist. He proudly attended medical school at Southwestern Medical School and Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, achieving his medical degree in 1984. Following medical school, and adhering to his rural, small-town background, he entered specialty training at the nationally recognized family medicine internship and residency program at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. Dr. Terry has been practicing in the mid-cities area since 1987, actively involved in several large, traditional, insurance-linked, office-based, and hospital care groups for 30 years. It has been this experience that has helped him recognize there is a better, more easily accessible, patient-friendly, and affordable way to provide primary medical care.

"Dr. Terry is very personable and knowledgeable. For my husband he was exactly what he needed. I love the direct approach and the method in which they bill and set up your account. If you are looking for an office that focuses on the care and not an insurance code...This is where you need to be. He actually took blood pressure manually, and I was like SCOOOORRRRREEE."

"Dr. Terry and his staff are wonderful. When I found myself under-insured last year during a sabbatical from work I found their office and the direct pay method they have set up was a breath of fresh air and a great alternative when health care costs in this country can be quite costly. A few times I got sick (covid, among other issues) I was able to connect with their team and get a same day telehealth consultation and some meds over to the pharmacy ASAP. Dr Terry is very thorough and takes time to discuss things with you during your visit, trying to get to the root cause of the problem, and isn't just trying to rush you out the door. He is direct and honest with you while maintaining an excellent bedside manner. Their office is wonderful and would recommend to anyone."
