Frequently Asked Questions

How is this national list of ecmo specialists built?

This page includes physicians in Convene Health's public directory whose profile lists ECMO as a clinical focus area, ranked by composite score (research output, peer recognition, frequency of care, and outcomes signals). Each profile is sourced from the NPI registry, peer-reviewed publication data, board certification records, and the physician's own bio where available.

What should I look for when choosing a ecmo specialist?

Start with clinical fit — the right specialist for ecmo depends on the specific subtype and severity of your condition. Compare credentials, hospital affiliations, years of experience, peer-reviewed publications, and how the profile describes their approach. Many top specialists are concentrated at academic medical centers; if you have flexibility on location, the top of this list is a strong starting set.

Are these ecmo specialists accepting new patients?

Profile detail on availability and accepted insurance varies. Open a specific provider profile to see what they've published about new-patient access, insurance accepted, and typical wait times. Coverage details can change — confirm directly with the practice before your visit.

What is ECMO?

ECMO is a clinical focus area covered by the specialists listed here. Each provider profile describes their training, sub-specialties, and the conditions they regularly treat — open a profile for the most authoritative description of how that specific physician approaches ecmo care.
