Proliance Surgeons distinguishes itself with its physician-led approach, reflected in our compensation structure tailored by the surgeons we serve. Surgeons who have achieved board certification are eligible to become shareholders, with existing board-certified members qualifying for shareholder status after one year.

As shareholders, surgeons assume ownership, empowering them to shape the company’s direction and governance. They actively engage in committees and aspire to board membership, influencing decision
-making at the highest levels. Additionally, physicians have ownership in our Care Center’s Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) and ancillary services, allowing participation in specialized compensation models. Each Care Center operates independently, crafting compensation plans aligned with its unique philosophy and objectives.
