This is a foolish question to be asking randos online. We literally have quality metrics you can look at. Just go here and compare using the plentiful data points:

Ok so either the hospitals near me are shit or that site isn’t accurate.

I wouldn't say they're shit. Hospitals just aren't usually as good as we want them to be, clinically speaking. If you're just thinking of how the lobby looks or how nice their ads are, that's one thing. I don't know about you though, but I care about their clinical outcomes.

That website is the CMS, literally the government agency that collects all that data inputs out objective scores that are easily compared among different hospitals.

Guess Overlook in Summit is really top tier. RWJ in New Brunswick is below average.

What you’re saying seems be to accurate: the best practitioner may not be working at a hospital.
