Christopher James Ferreri, MD

“As both a clinician and a researcher, my job gives me a great sense of purpose. I feel honored to help others combat their illnesses, whether directly with patients and their families or by contributing to the clinical research that will improve our understanding of disease and develop novel therapies to improve outcomes.”

Dr. Ferreri is board certified in internal medicine. He focuses on hematology and medical oncology (blood disorders and cancer). Conditions he treats include plasma cell disorders, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (a disorder known as MGUS), light chain amyloidosis (a plasma cell disorder that can have multi-organ system involvement), Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (a blood cell cancer) and multiple myeloma.

He was initially drawn to hematology-oncology during his undergraduate studies. Through personal experiences, he became passionate about the humanistic aspects of cancer medicine. He strives to help patients understand their illnesses and treatments with clear and honest communication.

Dr. Ferreri is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Hematologic Oncology and Blood Disorders at Atrium Health Levine Cancer. His research focuses on clinical and translational research involving multiple myeloma and CAR T-cell therapy. He has authored multiple publications and presented at conferences relating to CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma.

Dr. Ferreri has received an American Society of Hematology (ASH) Abstract Achievement Award and an International Myeloma Society (IMS) Young Investigator Award.

He received his bachelor’s degree in molecular genetics and his medical degree at The Ohio State University. He completed residency at Duke University and a fellowship at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he was named LBJ Oncology Clinical Fellow of the Year.

Outside of work, he is an avid sports fan who enjoys restaurants and the Blue Ridge Mountains. He loves spending time with his wife, family, friends and dog, a Cavapoo named Benny.
