## What is Surgical Serenity Solutions?

Prepare for surgery using our patient-tested, proprietary music that engages “rhythmic entrainment.”   

FEATURES:

-Music that has been curated and sequenced by professional music medicine practitioners for its ability to engage rhythmic entrainment

-Music that has been tested in hospitals and dental clinics around the world and found to be exceptionally soothing and calming

WHAT OUR USERS ARE SAYING:

“This app is awesome!  So easy to download and install.  I took it to the hospital on my iPhone and they paired it with their bluetooth headphones.  Music was beautiful and the knee replacement was not a trauma for me, as I feared!”

“Promise fulfilled!  I was so worried about having general anesthesia for my surgery, but because I was calmed with this music, they were able to do the surgery with spinal anesthesia.”

“Dr. Cash, the surgery that I had for an aortic aneurysm was a complete success.  The music was beautiful and the doctors and medical staff were fascinated.  What was predicted to take 4-5 hours only took less than two.  I was predicted to be in ICU for 3-4 days, but was discharged in 24 hours.  The entire surgical team believes that the music was a huge factor.  Thank you so much!”

### 5/5 — Soothing & Zen

*2026-02-16*

recently purchased the Smooth Jazz track and have really been enjoying it. The sound quality is smooth and calming, and it creates a relaxing atmosphere without being distracting. It’s perfect for winding down, meditating, or just having peaceful background audio during a busy day.

I especially appreciated using it at a dentist appointment and while waiting — it helped me feel more relaxed and grounded. The continuous playback makes it easy to press play and just settle in without interruptions.

Overall, it’s simple, calming, and effective. I’m looking forward to exploring more of the tracks.
