Complete the Puzzle of Care

The Missing Piece in Workforce Strategy

Surgicalists are most often overlooked or excluded piece of the workforce strategy puzzle. Hospitals typically account for employed physicians, locums, contracted staff, and travel nurses, but surgicalists are frequently left out.

That omission creates coverage gaps, patient transfers, lost revenue, and unnecessary strain across the workforce. A comprehensive workforce strategy requires surgicalists. The question is not if they will be part of the plan, but when and how. Integrating surgicalists ensures:

Balance across physicians, clinicians, and nurses

Greater OR utilization and surgical access

Protection of margins and service lines

Consistent, reliable care for patients and communities

dollars per month, the opportunity cost of not having a physician.

FAQs for Hospitals & Practices
Will the surgeons have the skills we need for our specific community?

Yes, we match surgeons to each hospital based on the specific clinical needs of the community. Our teams bring deep experience across a broad range of surgical cases, ensuring they have the right skills to support your patient population, referral patterns, and hospital objectives from day one. 

How is this program better than hiring my own surgeons?

We shoulder recruitment, licensing, credentialing, malpractice, and performance management—removing vacancy risk and delivering a single, predictable monthly fee that’s often less than locum tenens. Working with Synergy is a long-term, supportive partnership.

Where do you find your surgeons?

A large number of our surgeons come by referral from our national network of board-certified, fellowship-trained surgicalists. Every candidate passes peer interviews, NPDB checks, and full case-log reviews to ensure clinical excellence and cultural alignment. 

What is the typical profile of your surgeons (stage in their career, experience level)?

Our surgeons are highly experienced, board-certified, and committed to hospital-based practice. Many have mid-to-late careers, having built strong reputations in their specialties.

What Our Clients Have To Say

I initially started Synergy Health Partners as a temporary option while between jobs. However, I am now settled in my new location, and when considering the local options (solo practice, group, hospital-employed), a large part of the decision is my desire to stay involved at Synergy Health Partners. The organization provides so much support on both the front and back ends, and they take a very personal and individualized approach. If I want to speak to the CEO, I have his cell, and just give him a call. Great people are involved in this organization from top to bottom, and the surgeons I work with are great. I highly recommend Synergy Health Partners.

After 28 years in private practice, I began looking for opportunities to allow me greater freedom to travel with my family. My Synergy Health Partners schedule allows me this free time. When I am off, I am truly off—no office responsibilities, no patient calls, and the confidence that the patients I have taken care of continue to receive quality care from my Synergy Health Partners colleagues. I also continue to be challenged with my work and find that the skills I have acquired over the 28 years are being put to good use. I am more than happy with my decision to join Synergy Health Partners. Perhaps my only regret is that this model was not available to me years ago.

With the help of Synergy Health Partners, our surgical volume and revenue is exceeding budget, and our surgeons are able to open additional outpatient clinic visits to increase elective surgical volumes. Before partnering with Synergy Health Partners, we had two warring surgical groups who now, with the help of the Synergy Health Partners, are working well together.

I have been working for SynergyHealth Partners for over five years, and it is the best decision of my career. I am able to provide excellent patient care, and have achieved a true work-life balance. When I am on shift, I am able to focus on my patients, their care, and their needs. When I am off shift, I know that my partners are providing the same level of care. This teamwork and partnership allow me to enjoy my time off and return to work ready for another shift. By finding this work-life balance, I believe I now deliver better care to my patients at work, and am a better partner at home.

Our hospital contracted with Synergy Health Partners to develop an orthopedic surgery program from the ground up. Synergy Health Partners educated our staff and coordinated the program setup. We were presented with exceptionally sourced candidates and hired the first two we interviewed. These were surgeons I don’t think would have ever given a small, rural hospital a second look if it were not for the Synergy Health Partners relationship and work model.

In the first nine months of the program, we had over 1,700 clinic visits and 114 surgeries. We received the County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Award for the hospital’s impact on the community and its outreach efforts. We have been able to deliver a service and meet the needs of patients at our community hospital, right here and close to home. Synergy Health Partners has been a true partner in every sense of the word.

Working as an associate with Synergy Health Partners in the field of orthopedics without a doubt is inimitable in its work-life balance flexibility. You can still have a multitude of challenging cases, physician-patient interactions, and even continuity of care with inpatient or outpatient encounters, all condensed into a schedule you chose to manage. When it’s done . . . enjoy your time away.

I have had the privilege of working with Synergy Health Partners for the past couple of years.  It has been an absolute game-changer for me as a surgeon.  My work-life balance is better than I ever expected for the practice of general surgery.  I love the team approach and the opportunity to work with excellent surgeons and PAs.  I really enjoy the excitement of acute care and trauma surgery without the stress of worrying about money and running a business.  Synergy Health Partners is a brilliant program begun by surgeons — for surgeons. Thank you, Synergy Health Partners.

Since partnering with Synergy Health Partners, we have seen an improvement in emergency department patient service and satisfaction that is absolutely night and day in terms of the quality of care, efficiency of care, and overall departmental culture. Our emergency department has become a beacon of patient-centered medicine, and our patients consistently maintain they will go nowhere else for their emergency services. Our staff morale, nursing and physician relationships, and community presence are all at monumental levels.
