After opening my practice in 1994, I developed a strong practice and reputation for my
interests in minimally invasive surgery and my work in cancer surgery. I helped develop
the Thoracic Oncology Group and had one of the highest attendance rates at our
multidisciplinary tumor boards. I’m known for my thorough evaluation of patients and
my surgical results. I was the busiest minimally invasive surgeon in the region and
performed the majority of advanced procedures.
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In 2007, I was hired by CA Dean Memorial Hospital in Greenville, Maine to develop a
surgical program. While there, I initiated OR protocols, brought the OR into compliance
with regulatory requirements, instituted the SCIP guidelines and increased General
Surgery case volumes from 16 cases per quarter to about 50 per month. I’ve also
expanded the surgical services to include Orthopedics, Gynecology, Urology and
Podiatry and CAD hired 4 surgeons during my tenure. I designed an upgraded PACU and
initiated peri-operative protocols. A colon cancer screening program was developed that

3. CURRICULUM VITAE D. T. Rideout MD, FACS

included a data base system to track every patients’ colon cancer risk, the date and results
of their last colonoscopy and a system to ensure that the patients’ next screening would be
scheduled for the appropriate time.
My leadership skills include the ability to improve quality of care, streamline patient
flow, close gaps in regulatory requirements, provide patients with a compassionate and
efficient service, improve documentation and increase the efficiency of a surgery center.
My approach to administrative and process problems is the same as my approach to a
clinical problem; an analysis is done, a diagnosis is made and a treatment is initiated.
Progress is assessed and the intervention is modified until the problem is cured. CA Dean
Memorial Hospital has recently won several state and national awards for quality of care
and is the highest ranking hospital in Maine for patient satisfaction!
In 2011, I brought to maturation an agreement between Tufts University Medical School
and CA Dean Memorial Hospital that designated the hospital as a site for first year
medical student orientation, the second year Competency-based Apprenticeship in
Primary Care [CAP] course and third year clinical clerkship rotations.
In 2015, I was hired by Penobscot Valley Hospital in Lincoln Maine to essentially
reproduce those initiatives and results.
