Transparency is at the heart of SurgeonCheck.
The days of blindly choosing a surgeon are over.

Surgeon Led:

SurgeonCheck is led by a surgeon with 33 years of experience in the operating room, 22 of which he was also Chairman of Surgery. This translates to vast experience managing and evaluating hundreds of surgeons to ensure patient safety and quality.

Surgeon Developed:

Who better to evaluate the performance of surgeons than surgeons themselves? We recognize that academic medical literature doesn't always reflect real-world situations. That's why our quality measures are vetted by surgeons - the people in the operating room - who understand the nuances of surgery. Our group of medical advisors is comprised of surgeons trained at esteemed institutions such as Duke University, the University of Virginia, and the University of Pennsylvania. They are board-certified and fellowship trained with over 500 years of combined surgical experience.

Unparalleled Measure Depth and Customization:

We evaluate nearly 300 individual measures across a vast number of elective procedures. Nobody dives as deep into the details as we do. Additionally, we don't take a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Each procedure has a unique set of precisely tailored measures, all of which are weighted based on their relation to high quality outcomes, for accurate and reliable surgeon recommendations.

Results Driven, Not Pay-to-Play:

Surgeons can't buy their way onto our recommended list. Unlike other sites and "Best Of" lists, our recommendations are based solely on one thing: results. No exceptions, no loopholes. Just unbiased, data-driven surgeon recommendations.

Data Driven Insights:

We analyzed over 10.3 billion insurance claims and 148 million surgeries to inform our recommendations. This data is updated every six months with millions more claims, ensuring you receive the most relevant and timely recommendations.

Beyond Anecdote and Subjectivity:

Traditional referrals from well-meaning primary care doctors, friends, and family are often based on anecdotal evidence, “good experiences,” and relationships. Our recommendations are completely objective and based on what truly matters - a surgeon's results.

Facts, Not Feelings:

We're not a review site where people share their personal opinions. Our recommendations are 100% objective, driven by hard data and a surgeon's proven track record of success.
