There's a 50% chance you are being operated on by a below average surgeon

Let us identify the most skilled surgeon in your area for your specific surgery

Why you can't trust your insurance provider

Legal contracts between your insurance provider and in-network surgeons put you at risk.


Health insurance companies want as many surgeons 'in-network' as possible. In order to attract surgeons, your health insurance company signs a legal contract with surgeons that prevents them from refering their customers to a more skilled surgeon over a less skilled surgeon.

Why you can't trust other surgeon rating websites

Other online surgeon ratings sites risk your post-surgery quality of life by providing you with compromised information.


Other online ratings are more indicative of a surgeon's bedside manner and advertising budget than of surgical skill level. Websites such as HealthGrades and ZocDoc give the highest ratings to the most charismatic and business savvy surgeons - not the most skilled surgeons.

How Surgeon Researcher solves these problems

The only sources that know how skilled a surgeon really is are in the operating room observing surgeons on a consistent basis.


We talk to these Surgical Sources.


Our research team has over 100 combined years of operating room experience. We have an extensive network of Surgical Sources that observe surgeons perform operations across the US.


When our friends and family need surgery we guide them to the most skilled surgeons.


Now YOU have access to this guidance.

RESULTS

The Surgeon Researcher Difference

Improved surgical outcomes

Surgeons are not created equal. Top surgeon produce better surgical outcomes for their patients.

Reduced chance of revision surgery

Do it once. Do it right.

Faster recovery

Top surgeons leverage the latest technology allowing for minimally invasive techniques. This means quicker recoveries and smaller scars.

Less time under anesthesia

Top surgeons are more efficient in the operating room. The result is a more efficient procedure and less time on the surgical table for their patients.

Reduced rate of infection

The use of the latest technology allows for more minimally invasive techniques. The convergence of MIT with less surgical time reduces patients' chances of developing a surgical infection.

Confidence

Don't trust a surgeon just because they have good bedside manner. Find out who medical professionals are going to for their operations.

No conflict of interest

Other surgeon rating websites allow surgeons to advertise or pay for better ratings. Surgeon Researcher does not accept any financial incentives from the surgeons we evaluate. 


Our business model relies on charging patients for our proprietary research. By removing any conflicts of interest, we can provide you with a truly independent assessment of a surgeon's capabilities. This enables you to make an informed decision about your healthcare.

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • HealthGrades and ZocDoc are free. Why should I pay for your research?

    Sites like ZocDoc and HealthGrades compile ratings from patients. Patients put more weight into the bedside manner and personality of their surgeon than clinical outcomes. Patients cannot determine how skilled their surgeon is because they are under anesthesia during the procedure.


    Additionally, free doctor review sites such as ZocDoc and HealthGrades take advertising money from surgeons. This creates a conflict of interest for you, the patient.


    The business model of these sites requires them to push patients towards surgeons who advertise with the site instead of to the best surgeons. 

  • How is Surgeon Researcher different?

    The only sources that know how skilled a surgeon is are other surgical professionals who are in the operating room with surgeons on a consistent basis. We call these surgical professionals our Surgical Sources.

     

    We talk to our Surgical Sources to create our proprietary research and get surgeon recomendations whereas other sites give surgeons simple ratings based on anonymous reviews from patients that are unable to properly evaluate surgeons.


    Our research team has over 100 combined years of operating room experience. We have an extensive network of Surgical Sources that observe surgeons perform operations across the US. 


    When our friends and family need surgery we guide them to the most skilled surgeons. We will do the same for you.


    Additionally, we do not take any advertising money from surgeons. You, the patient, are always our only priority.

  • How do I know if you can research my area?

    Our team has an extensive network that spans across surgical specialties and the US. We have been able to provide our customers research on their prospective surgeon over 95% of the time.


    If we are unable to find a Surgical Source that has worked with your surgeon we will refund your money.

  • How important is a skilled surgeon?

    The best predictor of a successful surgery is the skill level of your surgeon.


    Studies, and our experience, show that patients who are operated on by the most skilled surgeons have lower rates of revision surgery, complications, infection, pain, opioid use and death. The most skilled surgeons achieve the best surgical outcomes - providing you the quickest recovery and best quality of life.


  • Aren't all surgeons skilled? They're surgeons!

    No.


    Surgeon skill level varied significantly. Take a look at these studies.

  • How important is the hospital where my surgery takes place?

    Medical errors now account for 9.5 percent of all deaths in the U.S.


    Take a look at these studies.


    The skill of your surgeon is the best predictor of a successful surgery. However, the environment where the surgery is performed, and the standards of that facility also affect rates of surgical complications such as infection and death.


    Patient safety standards, technology implementation, and safety culture vary signifcantly between hospitals. 

  • Can you research my hospital?

    Yes. Order our Premium Research package and we will include information on your hospital from our Surgical Sources.

  • How quickly can I get my report?

    Research is completed within 5-10 business days. If you need an expedited report, purchase an expedited report during checkout.

Surgeon Researcher Testimonials

"I was scheduled to undergo a hip replacement with a surgeon who had great online reviews. A friend suggested I double check my surgeon with Surgeon Researcher. Surgeon Researcher informed me that my surgeon did not perform this surgery on a consistent basis. They told me who the best hip surgeon in my area was and I rescheduled my surgery with him. I have been pained free since!"


Sean

New York

"After a CT scan showed a lesion in my lung, I was informed I needed a lung biopsy. My surgeon biopsied the wrong tissue, TWICE! I had to undergo a third biopsy. I needed Surgeon Researcher to find out if I was seeing a good surgeon. They reported back that my surgeon used outdated technologies and techniques. Surgeon Researcher gave me 3 thoracic surgeons in my area that they were comfortable with. I went to one of their surgeons and a successful biopsy was completed the following week!"



Matt

Michigan

“I needed Spine Surgery and did not know if I could trust the surgeon who diagnosed my injury. Surgeon Researcher spoke with multiple nurses that had seen my doctor operate. They said they would let my doctor operate on them. I was able to go to the hospital with confidence!"
