About
Reed Popp is a researcher whose work centers on health services and surgical outcomes, with a particular focus on how insurance coverage influences clinical decision-making and patient care. Popp’s most notable contribution, the 2025 study “Study of Insurance Type on Operative Approach and Time to Operation of Elective Inguinal Hernia Repairs,” examines the critical intersection of healthcare policy and surgical practice. This work investigates whether a patient’s insurance type—such as private, public, or uninsured status—affects both the surgical technique chosen (e.g., laparoscopic versus open repair) and the time elapsed before receiving an operation. While still early in its citation impact, this research addresses a pressing question in health equity: how socioeconomic factors can shape access to timely, optimal surgical care. Popp’s findings have implications for surgeons, hospital administrators, and policymakers seeking to reduce disparities in elective procedures. By highlighting these systemic influences, Popp contributes to a growing body of evidence that aims to make surgical care more equitable and patient-centered.
