Our value
“We have worked with SDC for the last year. The attention to detail that the team provides has been exceptional. They have a transparent, value-driven approach that every client should want. They most certainly are not an echo chamber.
They challenge assumptions and help guide the process through evaluation of the value proposition and voice of customer feedback. If you have an idea in the orthopedic surgery space, go early to SDC.
Have them pressure test your idea and strategize for a thorough evaluation of your idea's merit. Once it passes the muster, go for it. With confidence you will know that SDC can deliver on your aspirations to get your idea to market with a realistic timeline and a product that will be patient-focused and market ready. ”
— Marty Clark | CEO Adaptable Ortho Innovations
“I have worked with SDC on several projects over the last few years. The team has been extremely valuable in the development process of my new device ideas.
They understand the innovation process and have established a program, with excellent engineers, to help turn ideas into devices.
SDC creates quality prototypes that have allowed me to test, modify & refine developing ideas. A functioning prototype & further developed concept is invaluable for licensing or funding a start-up company.
The Surgeon Design Center has my strongest recommendation.”
