Marc Granson, MD, practiced vascular surgery for 33 years and founded a 45‑physician multi‑specialty group bringing vascular surgeons, radiologists, and cardiologists together in one of the nation’s first truly integrated models. He served as Chair of Surgery at St. Luke’s University Health Network from 2003–2016. Seeing that employers, health plans, hospitals, patients, and other healthcare stakeholders lacked an objective way to assess surgeon quality and cost, he created the SurgeonCheck platform and transitioned full‑time to it in 2016. Dr. Granson earned his B.S. from Indiana University and M.D. from Temple University.
