Finding top-rated General Surgeons near you is simple on WebMD Care. Each physician is listed with their overall patient rating on all search and profile pages. This rating is based on actual ratings from real patients like you. In addition, look for the Patient's Perspective boxes and callouts that tell you what other patients liked about the doctor. You can also keep an eye out for the awards icon on search pages or the Awards card on physician profiles that indicate Preferred Provider award winners and physicians on staff at WebMD Patient Choice award-winning hospitals.
