About These Rankings
Our national rankings are derived from the CMS Medicare Physician and Other Practitioners dataset — the most comprehensive public record of surgical procedure volumes in the United States. Each surgeon's rank reflects their total Medicare fee-for-service procedure count for the applicable year.
High-volume surgeons consistently show associations with refined technique, lower complication rates, and stronger patient outcomes. Use these rankings as a starting point when researching experienced specialists in your region.
