Even in my early teens, I knew I wanted to be a physician. I was fascinated by anatomy, loved science and was precise at dissection. Surgery was definitely my calling. \n Being the child of first-generation immigrants meant several messages were ingrained in my siblings and me. Our parents expected us to work hard, finish what we started, push to succeed and never complain. \n I had a wonderful mentor during my residency who shared with me his surgical mantra: Treat every patient like they are your mother. I took it to heart and adopted it as my mantra, too. I believe this wholeheartedly and continue to operate with this thought in mind. \n When it comes to robotic surgery, I was an early adopter. I have performed more than 1,500 robotic procedures. I even test other surgeons on their robotics skills once they have completed training. In my role as a robotic proctor, I travel the country and evaluate and sign off on surgeons who have completed robotics training. \n I have founded two …bariatric centers and built them into established Bariatric Surgery Centers of Excellence (BSCOE). The BSCOE designation helps patients identify surgeons who provide the safest and most effective treatments. The robotic center in High Point I founded was awarded the first robotic epicenter in North Carolina by the Intuitive Surgical group in 2019. \n I'm a member of the American Board of Surgery and SAGES (Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons) and am a fellow of both the American College of Surgeons and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons. \n My hobbies include coaching and helping with my kids' travel sports, playing golf and tennis, cooking, painting and woodworking. I most enjoy traveling - and just hanging out - with my wife.

All I really need to say is that my mother was rushed to Baptist so the mistakes Dr. Teppara made in surgery could be corrected by another surgeon in an emergency scenario a few days later. It is also important to note that even though he described the surgery as difficult and the situation as much more complex than he anticipated, he never saw my relative again. According to her chart, one of his assistants came in and supposedly did a post op evaluation at 6 a.m. the day after. She has no knowledge of ever seeing this person. It is a bit of a mystery to me how you can effectively evaluate a post-op patient without speaking to them. We were very optimistic about the surgery, but to say it was a disappointing failure both in terms of the surgery and the after care would be an understatement. The surgeon who performed the repair surgery effectively stated that Dr. Teppara botched the surgery and that what he did was wrong and unacceptable. This opinion was freely offered without… solicitation.
