Frank Dauterive “Terive” Duperier, MD, came to New Dimensions just after finishing advanced laparoscopic training at the world-famous Cleveland Clinic Foundation Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. A native of San Antonio, Dr. Duperier graduated from Alamo Heights High School in 1987 before leaving for the Northeast.
Terive earned a bachelor of science in neuroscience from Brown University in 1991. After leaving Rhode Island, Terive moved to Ohio where he received his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine in 1996.
The residency match moved Dr. Duperier to Newark, New Jersey, where he completed his five-year surgical training at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ-Newark). Training under internationally-known laparoscopic surgeons, Dr. Duperier became interested in minimally invasive surgery.
At the completion of residency, Dr. Duperier and his wife moved back to Ohio for his dedicated sub-specialty training in Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. There, Dr. Duperier became proficient with a myriad of minimally invasive procedures including laparoscopic gastric bypasses; laparoscopic repair of paraesophageal, ventral, and inguinal hernias; laparoscopic splenectomy and adrenalectomy; laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication for reflux (GERD); laparoscopic Heller myotomy for achalasia; and laparoscopic radio-frequency ablation for liver tumors.
