Biography

Michael J. Terry, M.D., is a Professor in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at UCSF. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1999 and earned his medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 2006. During this time, he completed a one year research fellowship at the National Cancer Center Research Institute in Tokyo, Japan as part of the MIT-Japan Program, and was later selected to participate in the prestigious HHMI-NIH Research Scholar Program. He then went on to complete a combined General Surgery/Plastic Surgery residency at Yale University, where he received training in reconstructive plastic surgery/microsurgery. Dr. Terry dedicated an additional year of fellowship training at the Institute for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at New York University to studying complex hand/upper extremity surgery with Dr. David Chiu.

Dr. Terry’s areas of clinical focus include the treatment of disorders of the hand and wrist, peripheral nerve disorders of the upper and lower extremities; and surgical reconstruction of traumatic and oncologic defects of the head and neck, torso, and extremities. He also currently serves as Interim Chief of Plastic Surgery at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG), where he treats the above disorders, and also has the role of Director and Gender Affirming Surgery.

Dr. Terry is committed to improving the care of traumatic injuries in low- and middle-income countries via the Institute for Global Orthopedics and Traumatology (IGOT), a UCSF organization for which he sits on the Executive Committee, and is the Co-Director for Surgical Education. Through this organization, Dr. Terry travels yearly to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America to teach complex soft tissue reconstructive techniques to surgeons in areas with little to no plastic surgery expertise.
