Patients
You Were Just Told You Need Surgery. Now What?
If surgery is on the table, you can get independent surgeon opinions on your case and compare those surgeons on credentials and risk-adjusted outcome scores when available — then decide. The patient stays in control.
SurgiQuality’s Self-Serve lane is free. Optional $149 Concierge exists only if you want help gathering records. The opinions and the comparison are the same either way.
- Compare surgeons on training, credentials, and risk-adjusted outcome scores when available — not advertising or whoever you were referred to
- Get independent opinions from surgeons who review your actual records (de-identified; only surgeons licensed in your state, and only with your permission)
- You choose whether to proceed, and with whom
Optional Concierge If You Want Help
Self-Serve is free and you stay in charge of your case. If you would rather not chase records yourself, optional $149 Concierge requests your medical records, imaging, and test results for you and handles the follow-up. Same opinions either way.
Your Records, Your Control
With your permission, your medical records are de-identified and securely shared only with surgeons licensed in your state who review your specific condition. Everything is protected through a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted system — you decide who sees what, and when.

Real Experts. Real Opinions. On Your Case.
Multiple qualified surgeons review your records and respond with their honest assessment — including their experience performing your specific procedure, how many they've done, and their risk-adjusted outcome scores when available. No sales pitch. Just facts to help you decide.
The Final Decision Is Yours
Once you've heard from the surgeons, you choose. Pick the one whose experience, credentials, risk-adjusted outcome scores when available, and approach give you the most confidence. We recommend looping in your primary care provider too — so your whole care team is aligned before you proceed.
Two ways to start
Same independent opinions either way. Both start on the Second Opinion page.
