Attract More Patients. Grow Your Practice
Millions of Google searches occur for Bariatric surgery every year in the U.S. Most potential patients will only find your practice online if it is positioned prominently to attract organic traffic.
However, most bariatric surgeons find it difficult to attract and retain patients with bariatric surgery marketing strategies like “before-and-after” pictures combined with patient reviews and testimonials. So how do you plan to compete in this competitive and over-saturated market?
As a bariatric surgeon, you understand the challenges all too well: Media stories scaring away patients considering gastric bypass or lap-band surgery, or low-paying HMO or Medicaid cases are starving your practice of revenue. Maybe your online presence is not showcasing the quality of care that you provide, or one bad review is hurting your practice.
With all these challenges, how will you attract more of the cash-paying, elective bariatric cases you want that pay you up to four times what insurance reimburses? This is where proven bariatric practice marketing services from Practice Builders will help you!
At Practice Builders, one of the most reputed and successful bariatric digital marketing agencies around, we know that you’ll need to utilize proven and result-driven marketing tactics to compete in a crowded market. This means creating a targeted marketing message for your practice that gets heard and drives the desired response.
For a medical specialty as competitive and challenging as bariatric surgery, you need a mix of passive and active bariatric marketing strategies to acquire new patients and retain the existing ones. Active strategies will focus on networking with referring physicians to build your referral pool, while passive bariatric marketing strategies will help extend your market reach. Some of the most powerful passive techniques include a mobile-friendly website, relevant content, social media marketing, and more.
The result is improved patient acquisition and increased profitability. Want to learn more about how this works?
At Practice Builders, our bariatric marketing experts observe the different guidelines and regulations while writing copy for your website, creating content for your blog posts, or responding to patient reviews on your social media profiles.

Online reputation management for bariatric surgery practices: Online patient reviews, especially positive ones, are an integral part of bariatric surgery advertising and marketing strategies. Most new patients read at least five to six online reviews before scheduling an appointment with a new bariatric surgery practitioner. This makes it vital that your practice has a positive online presence and lots of positive reviews so that new patients can see how credible and skilled your staff is.
Content creation and marketing for bariatric surgery practices: As a bariatric practice marketing strategy, content marketing works pretty well, primarily when implemented in combination with other digital marketing strategies. Creating relevant and informative content is critical as it connects your practice with prospects and existing patients and tells them about your successful services. Regardless of the digital platform, you chose to share your content on; our content marketing experts will ensure that your target audiences find it engaging.
Social media marketing for bariatric surgery practices: In the current digital age, most of the action happens on social networks. Social media is an effective platform to help you engage potential patients.

"I've worked with Practice Builders for more than 15 years now, coming to them with great worry about the success of my clinic and trusting them to help grow my business. With their strategic growth plan, marketing materials and digital marketing/social media support, I was able to grow, increasing referrals, revenue and staff, but found myself with limited free time as a result. With continued efforts on their end and mine, I now have two full-time therapists on my team. I am now able to enjoy my practice more, as well as to have the freedom to be away from the clinics when I want to have a day off or go on an extended vacation..."
