Before a joint replacement, patients ask AI who operates best. Do they hear your name?
Give Stride your practice and city. It asks ChatGPT the question a patient facing surgery would ask, then shows the orthopedic surgeons named first.

- Get there firstAI answers are built from what the web says about surgeons today. The ones that show up first are the ones their rivals have to catch.
Not named? Start here.
Choosing who operates on a knee or shoulder is a slow, careful decision. AI answers lean on credentials, hospital ties and clear procedure detail it can confirm.
- 1Certification and society listingsCheck each surgeon shows correctly on the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery verification and in the AAOS Find an Orthopaedist directory, with fellowship training noted.
- 2Hospital and surgery center pagesMake sure the hospitals and surgery centers where you operate list you accurately. Patients ask where a procedure would happen, and those pages carry weight.
- 3One page per procedureKnee and hip replacement, ACL repair, rotator cuff repair and hand surgery each need a page on candidacy, the operation itself and what rehab usually looks like.
- 4Healthgrades and reviews by jointKeep Healthgrades complete and ask patients to mention the joint and their return to activity. A review that says “back on the trail after my ACL” is specific.
How Stride gets your practice named.
Every week Stride tracks which orthopedic surgeons AI recommends for each joint and injury in your region, identifies the sources behind them, and drafts procedure pages that fill the holes.

Know what patients ask AI
Stride gives AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini the questions patients ask ahead of surgery, from anterior hip approaches to rehab after a torn ACL, and tells you which ones bring up your name.

When AI names another surgeon for a joint, Stride reveals what fed that answer, such as their procedure page, their hospital profile or an AAOS listing, and lists what your practice has yet to publish.

Questions, answered.
How do orthopedic surgeons get recommended by ChatGPT?
Make your credentials, affiliations and procedures easy to confirm. Keep ABOS certification and your AAOS listing accurate, check hospital profiles, give every major procedure a page on candidacy and rehab, and keep Healthgrades complete.
Do hospital affiliation pages affect AI answers?
They can. Hospital and surgery center sites are trusted sources that list who operates there. If yours are out of date or missing you, answers have less to go on when a patient asks where to have surgery.
Is this the answer a patient sees in ChatGPT?
Close but not identical. Stride asks via OpenAI’s API with web search turned on, matching how its regular tracking runs. The ChatGPT app may answer a signed-in user in another way, and replies change from one day to the next.
Why does it show only three surgeons?
The check holds onto the first three surgeons ChatGPT mentions, in the order it gives them, because those get most of the calls. The free audit or a walkthrough looks across more procedures and more AI tools.
What is the walkthrough?
Fifteen minutes on a call. Stride walks through the procedure questions that bring up your practice, the surgeons named ahead of you and the reasons, and what it would take for you to be named.
