A National Recognition Rooted in Evidence and Experience
With more than one million licensed physicians practicing in the United States, choosing the right surgeon, especially for spine-related conditions, is one of the most critical decisions a patient can make. That’s why Newsweek and Statista developed this ranking: to help patients make confident, informed decisions when seeking expert care.
To identify the country’s leading specialists in spine surgery, the evaluation process considered:
- Medicare and commercial claims data related to spine procedure performance,
- Peer surveys involving tens of thousands of medical professionals,
- Board certification verification, and
- Quality-of-care assessments and professional reputation.
Only a select group of surgeons made the final list. Dr. Saadat was also specifically recognized for his treatment of lower back pain.
