Find The Best Surgeon

SurgeonCheck is a resource designed to help you find high-performing surgeons for elective procedures. Here’s how it works and why you can trust our recommendations:

How SurgeonCheck Evaluates Surgeons:

a. Focus on Outcomes: SurgeonCheck goes beyond simply looking at a surgeon’s credentials. We use nearly 300 outcome-focused measures – developed and reviewed by a team of board-certified and fellowship-trained surgical specialists – to evaluate surgeon quality. 

b. Tailored Approach: Our measures consider various aspects, including complications, appropriateness, operative method, and diagnostic method, among other factors. Importantly, the metrics are customized for each procedure, recognizing the unique nature of each surgery. 

c. Benchmarking: SurgeonCheck compares each surgeon’s performance against national benchmarks established by peer-reviewed medical literature and validated or adjusted via SurgeonCheck’s machine learning algorithms and binning. National benchmarks ensure that all patients are directed to surgeons with the best outcomes and they allow us to identify “Surgeons of Excellence” locally.

Why You Can Trust SurgeonCheck Recommendations:

a. Rigorous Development: Our team dedicated over six years to developing and rigorously testing the evaluation logic and quality measures before entering the marketplace. 

b. Advanced Data Analysis: SurgeonCheck utilizes machine learning to address potential biases in data sets due to varying case volumes among surgeons. This further strengthens the validity of our ratings. 

c. Commitment to Improvement: Our team continuously refines the platform and measures to maintain its position as the leading resource for surgical recommendations.
