Should a Cash-Pay Clinic Add a DPC + HRT Subscription Model?

When Should a Cash-Pay Clinic Pause, Fix, or Relaunch Underperforming Google or TikTok Ads? Most cash-pay clinics react to an underperforming ad campaign in exactly the wrong way.

Why Does My Clinic’s Ad Account Keep Getting Banned (and How Do I Recover It)? If you run a cash-pay medical practice, getting your ad account suspended is not a question of if — it is a question of when, and whether you have a plan for it. Weight-loss, hormone, GLP-1, and medical offers live […]
Should a Cash-Pay Clinic Hire a Marketing Agency or Build Marketing In-House?
Should a Cash-Pay Clinic Hire a Marketing Agency or Build Marketing In-House? Medicine is a practice — and so is building medical practices.

What’s a Good Cost Per Acquired Patient (and Payback Period) for a Cash-Pay Clinic? Most cash-pay clinics measure the wrong number.
