Surgery is a high-trust decision, and AI answers lean hard on proof of credentials. Start with what it can verify.

  1. 1Certification AI can checkMake sure your board certification shows on the American Board of Plastic Surgery lookup and your profile on the ASPS Find a Surgeon directory is complete.
  2. 2A page for every procedureTummy tuck, breast surgery, facelift and rhinoplasty each need a page on candidacy, recovery time and what the consultation covers.
  3. 3RealSelf and review detailClaim your RealSelf profile and answer patient questions there. Reviews that name the procedure and the recovery are what answers quote.
  4. 4Results shown within the rulesBefore-and-after photos and testimonials need patient consent and must follow state and medical board advertising rules. Caption each case with the procedure.
Most practices don’t have time for this. Stride does the research and the writing for you.

Questions, answered.

How do I get my plastic surgery practice recommended by ChatGPT?

Make your credentials and procedures easy to verify. Keep your board certification and ASPS profile complete, give each procedure its own page with candidacy and recovery, claim your RealSelf profile, and caption results with the procedure.

Does board certification affect AI recommendations?

Patients often ask for a board certified surgeon by name, and certification and society directories are sources AI can check. Being listed there gives answers a fact to repeat about you.

Is this the answer a patient sees in ChatGPT?

Close, not identical. Stride asks through OpenAI’s API with web search on, the same way its tracking works. The ChatGPT app can answer a signed-in person differently, and answers change from day to day.

Why does it show only three surgeons?

The check keeps the first three names ChatGPT gives, in its order. Those are the surgeons a patient is most likely to contact. A walkthrough or the free audit covers more procedures and more AI tools.

What happens on the walkthrough?

Fifteen minutes on a call. Stride shows which procedure questions name you, which surgeons AI picks instead and why, and what it would take to get named.
