kochcompete on the right level. >> not everyone is convinced. while this data can point to trends very helpful for further study, it is difficult to make conclusions, for example, if you're just a patient going on the website. i think you need to have a little more information than just this data to choose a surgeon. >> reporter: dr. joshua jacobs with the american association of orthopedic surgeons cautions the website only looks at medicare patients and doesn't take into account the complexity of each case. >> for example the degree of deformity, the amount of scarring in the knee, the quality of bone, none of these things are really account for and they can have an impact on complication rates. >> reporter: why the doctor says the patients should use the website as part of their research to help them ask their doctor the right questions. >> it turns out the things most important in a patient doing well from surgery may have nothing to do with the name of an institution. it may have a lot more to do with certain operation. >> reporter: that's what we found at dr. mcdonald's hospital. he credits anne arundel in annapolis for focussing on one or two procedures and
