OUR STORY & EXPERTISE – SERVICES IN MATAWAN & SURROUNDING AREAS
Owner Information
Co-Founder Ali Surahio, MD
I am a board-certified physician with over a decade of active clinical experience, dedicated to understanding risk where it truly begins—at the intersection of health, business, and real-world outcomes. Throughout my medical career, I have seen firsthand that the greatest threats to professionals and business owners often don’t arise in the exam room, but from gaps in protection, coverage, and planning.
This insight led me to found GuardianMed Professionals in 2025—a firm built on a simple but powerful principle: applying clinical precision to risk management. By combining medical expertise with advanced insurance strategy, I provide a level of analysis and guidance that traditional brokerages simply cannot offer.

My focus is on delivering comprehensive, physician-guided reviews of insurance policies and risk exposures for healthcare professionals, business owners, and growing organizations. I approach every client engagement the same way I approach patient care—by identifying vulnerabilities early, diagnosing gaps accurately, and implementing tailored solutions designed for long-term protection.
At GuardianMed Professionals, we don’t just place policies—we diagnose coverage and treat risk.
Co-Founder Anthony Tepedino
I’m Anthony Tepedino, co-founder of GuardianMed Professionals. I focus on structuring and executing risk and coverage strategies that deliver real financial and operational advantages for our clients.
Prior to GuardianMed, I built and scaled an independent brokerage from the ground up, developing a results-driven approach centered on execution, speed, and precise positioning in the market. That experience shapes how I approach every engagement—moving quickly, identifying opportunities others miss, and delivering outcomes that standard brokerages don’t reach.

While our physician-led approach identifies risk with clinical precision, my role is to take that insight to market—negotiating with carriers, structuring placements, and securing terms that align with each client’s long-term position.
My background is in high-performance deal execution and complex structuring, allowing me to control the process, identify key advantages, and ensure that every strategy is carried through properly in the market.
At GuardianMed Professionals, we don’t rely on generic quoting or surface-level advising. Every engagement is deliberate—risk is identified early, strategy is structured with precision, and execution is carried through to deliver measurable results.
