From One CEO to Another
A Personal Note on Leadership-and a Strategic Path Forward
“Lifequakes aren’t detours from the path—they are the path.” – Bruce Feiler
If you’ve just received our gift, chances are you’re navigating a moment of change—personally, professionally, or both. From one healthcare leader to another: welcome. You’re not alone in the uncertainty, or in the opportunity it brings.

That’s why for over 15 years, we’ve partnered with hospitals nationwide to build sustainable, budget-aligned surgical staffing programs—starting with the first conversation and built to last through every transition

Frequently Asked Questions
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. They are drawn to our model for its work-life balance, clinical focus, and the opportunity to deliver high-quality care without the administrative burden of private practice.
