“I was dealing with pain on a consistent basis and was worried about surgery and the cost of it. The Lantern experience was great, including the doctors and the fact that I didn’t pay anything for my surgery.”
Our Network of Excellence
Our skilled team individually vets each surgeon – and that process is much more than ratings and reviews. We look for:
- Low complication rates
- Years of experience and specialized training
- How often surgeons find effective options that could help you avoid surgery
- How many times the surgeon has performed the procedure
- How the surgeon prepares patients for surgery and supports recovery after
Lantern’s network surgeons are among the best at what they do. It’s common for a Lantern member to get matched with a surgeon that’s ranked #1 in the state or country for the procedure they need.
“I would recommend my Lantern doctor to my children, and that’s something I have never been able to say before now.”

Our Members Love Lantern
“Everything about my experience with Lantern was awesome. I tell my coworkers I completely recommend using Lantern when you need surgery.”
“The doctor was very down to earth and easy to work with. Even my mom complimented him after surgery. He called her himself to let her know it had gone well.”
“I’m so glad Lantern is available to us. It’s not a gimmick—it’s a great benefit… I would not have been able to get bariatric surgery without Lantern.”
“The way Lantern worked was how you would want insurance to work. For the first time since I’ve had insurance, something worked the way you would want it to. It was so easy and so turnkey.”
