    Recommendations Consider

    icon

    Clinical Appropriateness

    Unnecessary surgeries are performed every day. We only recommend surgeons who consistently make the right decision about when to operate.

    icon

    Clinical Method

    The operative method your surgeon chooses matters. Minimally invasive approaches normally lead to faster recovery times, less infection, less pain and complications, and shorter hospital stays.

    icon

    Clinical Complications and Outcomes

    We use over 300 quality measures to evaluate surgeon performance such as infection and revision rates. The measures are tailored to each procedure as surgery is not one-size-fits-all.

    icon

    Board Certification

    We check each surgeon's credentials to verify they are board certified not only in their chosen specialty, but in the correct specialty for your procedure.

    The Pulse on SurgeonCheck

    "I'm so grateful for the peace of mind I had going into my knee surgery. Getting a recommendation from SurgeonCheck that I knew was backed by data took the anxiety out of choosing a surgeon. The entire experience was smooth and successful, and I'm already back to doing all the things I love – playing tennis and chasing after my grandchildren. Thank you, SurgeonCheck, for helping me find the right care."

    "I'm incredibly thankful for the surgeon recommendation I received from SurgeonCheck. Both of my shoulder replacements were a success, and I can pick up my grandkids again. Their platform made finding the right specialist a breeze, and I couldn't be happier with the results."
