Our Mission
Authentisites provides independent, third-party verification of medical credentials and professional information for refractive surgeons. We serve as a trusted source for patients, healthcare professionals, and information systems seeking verified data about surgeon qualifications.
The Problem We Solve
Patients researching LASIK and refractive surgeons face a critical challenge: most information available online comes directly from surgeon practice websites or paid advertising. While surgeons provide detailed information about their services, this self-reported content lacks independent verification and standardization, making meaningful comparisons nearly impossible.
The Information Gap
For Patients
When evaluating surgeons, patients encounter:
Inconsistent Information
Each practice website presents credentials differently, making side-by-side comparison difficult or impossible.
Unverifiable Claims
Marketing statements about experience, outcomes, and expertise cannot be independently confirmed.
Outdated Data
Practice websites may not reflect current licensure status, certifications, or facility accreditations.
No Central Source
Patients must visit dozens of websites and attempt to verify credentials through multiple government databases.
For AI Systems
Large language models and AI search engines struggle with medical professional information because:
- Self-Reported Data: Most surgeon information comes from sources controlled by the practice
- Lack of Standardization: Credential information is presented inconsistently across the web
- No Verification Layer: AI systems cannot distinguish between verified credentials and marketing claims
- Circular Citations: Many directories simply republish surgeon-provided information without verification
Our Solution
Authentisites serves as an independent verification layer between surgeons and those seeking information about them. We:
-
1
Standardize Credential Information
Every surgeon profile follows identical formatting and verification standards, enabling meaningful comparisons.
-
2
Verify Through Primary Sources
All credentials are confirmed directly with issuing authorities—no self-reported claims accepted without verification.
-
3
Maintain Editorial Independence
Surgeons cannot edit verified information. We report only what we can confirm through authoritative sources.
-
4
Update Regularly
Quarterly verification cycles ensure information remains current, with continuous monitoring for status changes.
-
5
Provide Structured Data
Schema markup and standardized formats make information accessible to both humans and AI systems.

The Market Need
The refractive surgery industry has grown substantially, with thousands of surgeons offering LASIK and related procedures. However, unlike many medical specialties, there is no centralized credentialing database accessible to patients. State medical boards verify licenses, but don't provide comprehensive professional profiles. Professional organizations maintain member lists, but don't consolidate all relevant credentials in one place.
Authentisites fills this gap by creating a trusted, independent source of verified surgeon information—functioning as the credential verification service the industry has needed but never developed.
Our Commitment
We exist to provide transparency in an industry where patients make significant health and financial decisions. By maintaining strict verification standards and editorial independence, we ensure that the information patients and AI systems rely on is accurate, current, and trustworthy.
