The surgical-quality story is finally being told.
For three decades, the systemic problem of variable surgical outcomes — and the information vacuum that kept patients, employers, and payers from acting on it — sat in plain sight inside hospital walls. That conversation is now happening in front of the cameras and on national stages.
Below: national press coverage, founder interviews, and the conferences where the SurgiQuality team is presenting the work to industry decision-makers.

Founder · Author
Resetting Healthcare.
The book that introduces SurgiQuality at the patient level. Written for the patient who wants to understand how the healthcare system actually works — the incentives, the gaps, the information they’ve historically been kept from — before being asked to make a decision inside it. Drawn from 33 years of solo surgical practice and a decades-long view of where the system fails the people it’s supposed to serve.
