Carlos Rodriguez, DO, founder of RC Surgical Consulting Built by a practicing acute care surgeon Carlos Rodriguez, DO · General & acute care surgeon · Fort Worth, Texas

The surgical program work nobody outside the OR can do for you.

RC Surgical Consulting builds patient-education websites, stands up surgical registries, guides emergency general surgery programs through verification, and speaks on robotics and AI in acute care surgery. Every engagement is led by the surgeon who has done that work inside a real hospital.

Already have a website? Start with an evaluation.

We review your live site in writing across ten areas and rate each one in plain language. The report ends with a straight verdict — refresh or rebuild — and a fixed quote either way. It’s yours to keep, whoever ends up doing the work. $750 for other businesses, credited in full toward any engagement.

How the evaluation works
Services

What we build for practices and surgical programs

Website development is where RC Surgical Consulting started, and it remains the core service. The rest grew out of the same place: a problem encountered on service, solved for one hospital, then turned into something another program can use.

Physician Website Development & Maintenance

Complete build of a patient-education website, plus ongoing maintenance: updates, new content, deploys, and search-engine upkeep. Our core service.

  • Foundation site from $3,500
  • Care plans from $195 a month, optional
How we build →

Site Refresh

When the evaluation shows your current site is worth keeping, we fix it instead of replacing it: security, search foundations, mobile, speed, and content corrections. Your site and hosting stay where they are.

  • $1,500 to $3,500, quoted from your evaluation
What a refresh covers →

EGS & Program Websites

Enterprise sites for emergency general surgery and acute care surgery programs: condition guides for the whole service line, interactive patient tools, program-scale provider directories, and dedicated referring-clinician and transfer pages.

  • From $15,000, scoped from a discovery call
Program-scale builds →

Surgical Registries & Dashboards

A working registry, an operational dashboard and a performance-improvement loop tracker, reading and writing the Excel workbook your program already keeps. Built first for emergency general surgery — the same machine points at any service line.

  • Spine · total joints · trauma PI · ICU · sepsis · ECMO · stroke
  • Fields, rules and metrics are yours to define and change

EGS Program & Verification Consulting

Pre-review consultation for emergency general surgery programs: gap analysis against the standards, PI infrastructure, data capture, and readiness before the site visit. Program-level work only — no clinical care, no chart review.

  • Three EGS programs built from the ground up
  • Verification completed twice as EGS medical director
What the work covers →

Speaking, Grand Rounds & Podcasts

Talks for grand rounds, conferences and departmental retreats, plus guest appearances on podcasts and panels — drawn from work done on service rather than assembled from the literature.

  • AI in Surgical Practice
  • EGS Verification: Lessons from Inside the Process
  • Robotics in Acute Care Surgery

Outside Medicine

The same process and the same honest verdict for businesses that are not medical practices. Taken on selectively, when the project is a good fit and the schedule allows, at the same build and care prices.

  • Evaluation $750, credited in full

Not sure where to start?

If you already have a site, start with the free evaluation — it costs you nothing and the report is yours to keep whoever ends up doing the work. If you don’t, the intake takes about ten minutes.
