Charles "Charlie" Teo AM, born 24 December 1957 is a high profile Australian neurosurgeon.
Teo was born to Chinese Singaporean parents who immigrated to Australia. He went to high school at The Scots College and graduated with Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from the University of New South Wales.
He is married to Genevieve Teo (née Agnew); the couple have four daughters.
Neurosurgery
Teo trained in Sydney, but worked for a decade in the United States, where he still teaches. His sub-speciality is paediatric neurosurgery. He is the director of the Centre for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery at Prince of Wales Hospital. and the founder of Cure For Life Foundation.
Teo has received much media attention as something of a miracle worker, but some neurosurgeons have criticised him as being too radical, offering "false hope" to patients who are believed to have an incurable brain cancer or a brain tumour that is dangerously located. Teo has resigned from the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia and argues that delaying the death of patients with an incurable brain cancer is worthwhile if it is their wish and that patients who seek his surgery are determined to live with a quality of life, despite being informed the surgery itself carries a sometimes considerable risk.
A story about Teo and one of his patients, the young pianist Aaron McMillan, is detailed in the book Life in his Hands by Susan Wyndham. A patient of Charlie Teo's, Sally White, has written of her experiences in Three Quotes From A Plumber: How a Second Opinion Changed the Life of a Woman with a Brain Tumour Teo has also been featured in several TV programs including ABC's Q&A, Good Medicine, Sixty Minutes, Last Chance Surgery, Australian Story and Enough Rope with Andrew Denton.
Teo gave the 50th Anniversary Errol Solomon Meyers Memorial Lecture at the University of Queensland in August 2007. In July 2009, Teo was a keynote speaker at the Australian Medical Students' Association National Convention, held in Brisbane, Australia.
