Meet our Team

Simply Surgery was founded in 2024 by three friends who saw a gap in study resources for medical students preparing for surgical cases during their clerkships. We set out to create comprehensive videos that integrate anatomy, pathophysiology, history and physical exam findings, operative steps, and more—making it easier for students to study efficiently. With a team that blends medical and non-medical expertise, we create content for a wide audience, including medical students, patients and their families, and anyone curious about what happens in the operating room.
