Our Philosophy
Do the next right thing.
At SurgNet, we view healthcare as a service business. From our patients to our staff to our physician partners, SurgNet is focused on the entire experience. It is our goal to provide the highest level of care and to work closely with our partners, investing the time to understand their goals and vision for their healthcare facility. We empower our staff to function independently and to act in all things they do with the patient in mind. If you are a patient at a SurgNet facility, you can be assured that everyone in your chain of care is striving to always do the next right thing for you.
