Semmes Murphey recognized as spine care leaders in Greater Memphis two years in a row

Semmes Murphey Surgery Center was recognized among the Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers in Orthopedics and Spine by U.S. News & World Report.

We’re excited to announce Semmes Murphey Clinic was recognized among the Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers in Orthopedics and Spine by U.S. News & World Report for another year. We’re grateful to share this accomplishment with our physicians and surgery center staff.

Ambulatory surgery centers were evaluated based entirely on objective, risk-adjusted measures of their patients’ outcomes, including how successfully they avoided complications, ER visits, unplanned hospitalizations, and other undesirable outcomes. To ensure fair comparisons among ambulatory surgery centers, the analysis accounted for each patient’s pre-existing conditions and other risk factors. U.S. News recognizes only the highest-rated surgery centers in each specialty that satisfy its statistical assessment of performance. Fewer than 17% of evaluated facilities earned a Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers rating for the 2025 study, and we’re honored to be among the most exemplary caregivers in the country!

Since 1912, we’ve been helping patients be pain-free and live their best lives. Being recognized at the highest level as the leading experts for spine care in our region validates the quality of our services and expertise. Please join us in celebrating our dedicated team members. We are thankful for their hard work and commitment to quality care for spine patients in the Mid-South.
