Orthopedic Marketing for Joint, Spine, Sports Medicine and Hand Practices

Updated October 2026 · Written and maintained by the Progression Agency strategy team

Orthopedic marketing is the work of bringing the right patients to each service line of an orthopedic practice: people weighing a hip or knee replacement, athletes and weekend players with a fresh injury, adults with back or neck pain, and patients with hand, wrist or shoulder problems. It combines service-line pages and surgeon profiles that rank, paid search by service line, referral relationships with primary care physicians and physical therapists, reviews, and patient education written without outcome promises, and it is measured in booked consultations and surgeries per line. Progression Agency, based in New York City, works with practices across the United States and worldwide.

What do orthopedic marketing services include?

They include everything that moves a person with a joint, spine or sports problem from a search, a referral or a recommendation to a booked consultation with the right surgeon. For most practices that is seven kinds of work, run per service line rather than for the practice as one block.

A practice rarely needs all seven at once. The order depends on which service line has open consult capacity, which one already books well and which surgeons are building a new patient base. When a provider folds everything into one undivided retainer, the budget tends to drift toward whichever line is easiest to report on, which is seldom the line with room on the calendar.

Orthopedic surgeon marketing versus practice marketing

A surgeon’s name works like a brand of its own: patients ask for a surgeon by name, referring clinicians send to a person, and reviews often single one out. Practice marketing builds the offices and the service lines; orthopedic surgeon marketing builds each name. Both need a plan, and the two plans have to agree on which surgeon sees which patients, or campaigns will fill one calendar and starve another.

Where the work starts in week one

Before any campaign changes, count the last two quarters of new consults by service line, source and surgeon, and list the open clinic slots for the next eight weeks. Those two numbers decide where the first dollars and the first pages go.

How do orthopedic patients search before they book?

It depends on how the problem began. A sudden injury produces urgent searches tied to a place; wear and tear produces months of reading; back and neck problems often pass through another clinician before an orthopedic surgeon is involved.

Injuries: fast, local and on a phone

Someone who twisted a knee at a game or fell on an outstretched hand wants to know who can see them soon and nearby. Appointment availability this week, walk-in injury hours if the practice offers them, accepted insurance and an accurate map listing decide the booking. Long articles matter less here than speed and clarity on the first screen.

Arthritis and joint wear: slow research with the family involved

A person living with a worn hip or knee may read about options for a long time before booking. They compare surgeons, ask about recovery and time away from work, and often bring a spouse or adult children into the decision. Pages that explain the range of options, introduce each surgeon properly and set expectations about recovery without promising results serve this patient best.

Back and neck pain: many paths, several through other clinicians

Spine patients often see a primary care physician, a physical therapist, a chiropractor or a pain specialist before they see an orthopedic spine surgeon. Marketing for this line leans on referral relationships and on content that explains when a surgical opinion is worth having, so the patient arrives with realistic expectations.

Our medical marketing agency page compares how specialties differ across medicine; this page stays with orthopedics and the decisions specific to it.

What the search data says about demand for this work

Practice leaders mostly type the plain phrases. In Ubersuggest data for September 2026, orthopedic marketing draws about 170 US searches a month and orthopedic advertising about 140, with the SEO, services, website and agency phrases behind them.

The bids say more than the volumes. Advertisers pay about $82.57 a click to reach someone typing orthopedic website design and $54.86 for orthopedic marketing agency, against $11.46 for the head phrase, which suggests vendors bid hardest where an owner is closest to buying a project. That is a good reason to ask any provider to show thinking specific to orthopedics rather than a template reused across every specialty.

Service-line marketing: one plan for each line

Each orthopedic service line has its own patients, referrers, decision speed and value per case, so each needs its own pages, campaigns, offers and reporting. Treating the practice as a single product hides the line that is struggling behind the one that is busy.

Joint replacement

Often the highest-value line and the slowest to decide. It rewards depth: a page for each joint, a plain account of what happens before and after surgery, surgeon profiles that state training and the procedures each surgeon performs, and an easy way for a family member to ask a question. Paid search here works best on searches that name a joint and a place.

Sports medicine

Speed is the product. Show how to be seen for a new injury, publish same-week availability if the scheduling system allows it, and build relationships with school and club athletic trainers. Content for parents of young athletes does a different job from content for adult recreational players, so write them separately.

Spine

Many spine patients are treated without an operation, and marketing that implies otherwise attracts the wrong expectations. Pages that explain the usual sequence of care, the role of therapy and injections, and the point at which a surgical opinion helps earn trust from patients and referring clinicians alike.

Hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder

These lines are often referral-led and very local. Keep the referral route short, list the specific problems treated, and make each surgeon’s focus visible so a referring office sends the right patient to the right person the first time.

Non-surgical and injection services

Bracing, injections and therapy are legitimate services to market, but they sit close to the claim rules discussed further down, especially for regenerative medicine products. Describe what the service is and who it may suit, and leave outcome promises out.

Orthopedic SEO: pages, profiles and local search

Orthopedic SEO is organic search work organized around service lines and surgeons: a page for each condition and procedure the practice treats, a profile page for each surgeon, accurate Business Profiles for each office and surgeon, and the local signals that follow from reviews. The method is ordinary SEO; the material is orthopedic.

For the general approach to medical search, including how referral-driven and direct-access specialties differ, read SEO for doctors and healthcare SEO. What follows is the orthopedic layer on top of that method.

Condition and procedure pages in the patient’s words

Write one page per condition or procedure, titled the way patients say it and reviewed by the surgeon who treats it. Explain what the problem is, the range of options from therapy to surgery, what a first visit involves and how to book with the right surgeon. A page that tells a patient honestly when surgery is not the first step persuades better than one that sells surgery.

Orthopedic surgeon SEO starts with the profile page

Searches for a surgeon’s name are among the most valuable a practice receives, because the patient already holds a recommendation. If the surgeon’s page is thin, that search lands on a third-party directory instead. The next section lists what belongs on the page.

Business Profiles for surgeons, not for subspecialties

Google’s Business Profile guidelines class doctors as individual practitioners, eligible for a profile of their own when they work in a public-facing role and can be reached at the verified location during stated hours, and the profile name may carry a title or degree such as Dr. or MD. The same guidelines rule out a separate profile for each specialization, so a surgeon who does both sports medicine and joint replacement keeps one profile and lists both as services. When several surgeons share an office, the organization keeps a profile for the location and each surgeon’s own profile is titled with nothing but the surgeon’s name.

Departments that can stand on their own

An in-house imaging center, therapy clinic or walk-in injury clinic can qualify for its own profile when it operates as a distinct public-facing department, which Google describes as typically having a separate entrance, a name different from the main business and a different primary category. A desk inside the main office does not qualify.

Google’s explanation of local ranking names relevance, distance and popularity as the main factors and states that a business cannot ask for, or buy, a higher local position. Our local SEO services and Google Business Profile optimization pages cover the method in detail.

Surgeon profile pages that patients and referrers use

A strong profile tells a patient who the surgeon is, what they treat, where and when they see patients and how to book, and it gives a referring office the facts it needs to send the right patient. It is often the page that turns a name search into a consult.

Write for the referring office too

A primary care office deciding where to send a patient with a shoulder problem wants to know which surgeon focuses on shoulders, how quickly a new patient is seen and how to send records. Put that on the profile, or link from the profile to a referral page that says it.

Keep every listing consistent

Names, credentials, offices and phone numbers should match across the profile page, Business Profiles, insurer directories and health directories. The medical marketing agency page explains why provider name searches and insurer directories deserve attention of their own.

Introduce new surgeons before their first clinic

A surgeon who joins the practice needs a profile page, a Business Profile where they qualify, an announcement to referring offices and a place in the service-line pages before the first clinic day. Otherwise the first months of their schedule fill slowly while the practice wonders why.

Referral marketing with physicians, physical therapists and athletic trainers

Referral development is often the steadiest source of orthopedic consults. It works when referring clinicians find it easy to send a patient, hear back quickly and see that patients are seen promptly, and it stays clean when nothing of value changes hands in return for the referrals themselves.

What a referring clinician needs

A one-page guide per service line that says which patients to send and which to keep in conservative care, a direct line or electronic referral route, a commitment on how soon new patients are seen, and a consult note sent back quickly. These are operating decisions as much as marketing ones, which is why the front desk and the surgeons need to agree before outreach begins.

Physical therapists work in both directions

Therapists send patients who are not improving and receive them again after surgery. A practice that respects a patient’s choice of therapist, shares its post-operative protocols and keeps therapists informed earns referrals back. Our physical therapy marketing page shows how clinics on the other side of that relationship market themselves.

Athletic trainers, schools and clubs

Sports medicine practices build relationships with school and club athletic trainers, who see injuries first. Education sessions on injuries that need imaging, a fast-access line for athletes and clear communication with parents all help. Sideline coverage, free services or sponsorships connected to referrals deserve review by health care counsel, for the reasons in the next paragraph.

Where the federal fraud and abuse laws come in

The Inspector General’s overview of the federal fraud and abuse laws for physicians describes the Anti-Kickback Statute as a criminal law against knowingly and willfully offering or paying anything of value to win or reward referrals of business that federal health care programs pay for, and it gives free rent, expensive hotel stays and meals, and excessive compensation as examples of value beyond cash. It also says the Stark law bars a physician from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients for designated health services to an entity the physician, or an immediate family member, has a financial relationship with, unless an exception applies; physical therapy, imaging, durable medical equipment, and prosthetics and orthotics are all on that list. That matters to any orthopedic practice that owns therapy, imaging or bracing and wants to promote it. We build referral programs on service and communication, and we ask the practice’s counsel to approve anything that moves value toward a referral source.

Measuring referral health

Record the referring clinician on every new consult and report consults and surgeries by referrer each month. A falling count from one office is a phone call to make this week, not a trend to notice next quarter.

Orthopedic advertising: paid search by service line

Orthopedic advertising works best as a set of service-line campaigns in Google search, each sent to a page that matches the search, with budgets set by consult capacity and the value of each line. Display, video and social add reach later, inside the health ad rules.

Search terms by intent

Searches that pair an injury or a joint with a place and some urgency usually book. Broad educational searches about a condition are better served by content than by paid clicks. Brand and surgeon-name searches deserve a small campaign of their own, so a competitor’s ad never sits above your own surgeon’s name.

What Google’s health ad rules allow

Under Google’s personalized advertising rules for health, treatments for chronic conditions such as arthritis, and invasive medical procedures including surgical procedures and injections, sit in a sensitive interest category. Advertisers in that category are limited to Google’s predefined audiences; advertiser-curated ones, meaning Customer Match lists, your data segments, audience expansion and lookalike segments, are off limits, and custom segments built from sensitive ad content or landing pages only run in limited Display placements. In practice, orthopedic advertising is built on keywords, locations and Google’s own audiences, never on uploaded patient lists.

Landing pages per line

Send each campaign to a page built for that search: a knee replacement page for joint searches, an injury clinic page for sprain and fracture searches, a spine page for back pain searches. Each needs the surgeons who treat it, offices, insurance, a booking form or scheduler and a phone number. Our search engine advertising, PPC management and healthcare advertising pages cover account structure and measurement.

A practice with a limited budget can start with brand and injury campaigns, where the searcher is ready to book, and add joint replacement and spine once landing pages and tracking have proved themselves.

Which claims can orthopedic ads and pages make?

Claims about what a treatment achieves need evidence that would satisfy the FTC, platform policies bar some treatments outright, and the FDA says no regenerative medicine therapy has been approved for an orthopedic condition. The safe approach is to describe services and qualifications and leave results to the consultation.

The FTC’s Health Products Compliance Guidance says health-benefit and safety claims for health-related products have to rest on scientific evidence that is competent and reliable, which usually means randomized, controlled human trials. It adds that a testimonial cannot carry a claim the advertiser could not support directly, that testimonials reporting results better than people can generally expect are likely to be deceptive, and that a line such as results not typical does not cure the problem.

Regenerative medicine and orthobiologics

The FDA’s consumer information on regenerative medicine therapies, dated June 3, 2021, says these therapies have not been approved for any orthopedic condition, naming osteoarthritis, tendonitis, disc disease, tennis elbow and back, hip, knee, neck and shoulder pain, and it lists stem cells, stromal vascular fraction, umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluid, Wharton’s jelly, ortho-biologics and exosomes among the unapproved products. Google’s healthcare and medicines policy separately disallows ads that promote speculative or experimental treatments and cell or gene therapies, with a United States exception for FDA licensed or approved therapies promoted by the license holder and an allowance for purely educational ads.

Words that cause trouble

Superlatives without a basis, promises of pain-free recovery, timelines presented as guarantees and before-and-after results presented as typical all invite trouble with regulators, platforms or patients. Replace them with facts the practice can stand behind: training, focus areas, offices, appointment availability and what the care plan includes.

Social media and video for orthopedic practices

Social and video build familiarity before someone needs a surgeon and ease the fear of the unknown once they do. They cannot target people by diagnosis, and their copy must not suggest the viewer has a condition.

As of January 19, 2022, Meta stopped offering detailed targeting options linked to sensitive subjects such as health causes. Its personal attributes standard also bars ads that assert or imply a person’s physical or mental health, including medical conditions, or that imply the advertiser knows a person’s medical information, while allowing you and your language that does not name such an attribute. For an orthopedic ad, that means writing about the service, the surgeon and how to book rather than about the viewer’s knee.

Video that earns attention

Short captioned clips of a surgeon explaining a common decision, a therapist demonstrating a recovery exercise approved for a general audience, or a walk through the injury clinic do more than polished brand films. Captions serve everyone watching without sound and viewers with hearing loss.

Community and team content

Education evenings for people considering joint replacement, posts about the clinicians and front-desk staff, and coverage of the practice’s work with local schools where it has that role build a reputation that ads alone cannot. Our healthcare social media marketing, Facebook ads agency and video production pages cover production, consent and testing.

Orthopedic website design for patients in pain

Orthopedic website design starts from the visitor’s situation: many arrive in pain, on a phone, some with an arm in a sling or limited mobility. The site has to work with one hand or a keyboard, book by service line quickly and make clear which surgeon treats what.

The Justice Department’s guidance on web accessibility counts medical offices among the public accommodations the ADA covers and describes common barriers: text with too little color contrast, video without captions, forms that not everyone can complete, and sites that only work with a mouse, which locks out anyone unable to use a mouse or trackpad. A practice whose patients are recovering from hand, wrist or shoulder surgery has an obvious reason to take that list seriously.

Booking by line and by surgeon

Let visitors choose the problem or the surgeon, see the next open slot where the scheduling system allows it, and book without a phone call. Offer a call-back for patients who prefer to talk, and route new injuries to same-week options.

Pre-operative and recovery pages

Patients and families come back to the site before and after surgery for instructions, forms and recovery guidance. Clear, printable pages cut calls to the front desk and keep the practice in front of the family during the weeks when they are most likely to recommend it.

Patient portal and form pages

HHS says tracking technologies on pages a patient logs into generally have access to protected health information. Keep advertising tags off portals, intake forms and booking flows, and document what runs where; the rules section below gives the detail.

Orthopedic practice website design for several offices

Give each office its own page with its address, surgeons, clinic days, the imaging or therapy available on site, parking and accessible entrances. Office pages that differ in substance, not only in the town name, help patients and search engines alike.

Our healthcare website design, website design and development and ADA compliant website design pages explain how builds are scoped, and booking website design covers scheduler options.

Reviews for surgeons and practices

Reviews shape which surgeon a patient chooses and how prominent an office is in local results. A consistent request after every visit beats occasional pushes, and the request must never steer what the patient writes.

Do not ask patients to name the surgeon

Google’s Maps content policy bars offering incentives for reviews, discouraging negative reviews, asking only happy patients and pressuring people to review on the premises, and it lists a business asking staff to solicit reviews that include specific content, including content that identifies a staff member, as a prohibited practice. A request that says please mention your surgeon by name crosses that line; a neutral request with a direct link does not.

Staff, relatives and the FTC review rule

The FTC’s review and testimonial rule requires a clear disclosure when an officer or manager reviews their own business, and it makes an officer or manager answerable when they ask employees or relatives for reviews without telling them to disclose the relationship. It also forbids rewards that depend on whether a review is positive or negative. A short note to staff that reviews of the practice need a disclosure is a cheap safeguard.

Replying to reviews

Keep replies general, never confirm that the reviewer was a patient and never discuss care in public. Response workflows are on our review management page, and how to get more Google reviews walks through a compliant request process.

Patient education content without outcome promises

Patient education explains conditions, options and recovery in plain language, reviewed by the surgeons who treat them. It earns search traffic, AI citations and trust, and it only works when it informs rather than sells.

Formats that serve orthopedic patients

These formats tend to earn repeat visits from patients and families, and each should name the reviewing surgeon and the date of the last review.

• Decision guides comparing conservative care, injections and surgery for one condition
• What to expect before, during and after a procedure, written for the patient and the family
• Preparing a home for recovery after hip, knee or shoulder surgery
• Questions to ask a surgeon at a first consult
• How prior authorization and referrals usually work at the practice
• Injury guides for parents of young athletes, reviewed by a sports medicine surgeon
• Recovery exercise videos approved by the practice’s therapists, captioned
• Glossaries of imaging and procedure terms patients meet in their records

Patient stories need written authorization

Under 45 CFR 164.508, a covered entity may not use or disclose protected health information without a valid authorization unless the HIPAA rules otherwise permit it, and any use or disclosure for marketing needs one, apart from a face-to-face conversation or a promotional gift of nominal value. A patient story, a recovery video or a photo that identifies someone and their surgery should therefore come with a signed authorization that covers how it will be used.

When an implant or device maker pays

HIPAA’s definition of marketing in 45 CFR 164.501 excludes a provider’s communications about its own services and its treatment communications, but not when the provider receives financial remuneration, meaning direct or indirect payment from a third party whose product or service is described. A mailing to patients about a particular implant that its maker funds therefore needs each patient’s authorization, and that authorization must state that remuneration is involved. The OIG guide adds that taking money or gifts from a drug or device company is not excused by the argument that the physician would have used the product anyway.

Marketing an ambulatory surgery center alongside the practice

Where surgeons operate in an ambulatory surgery center, the center becomes part of the patient’s decision: where the procedure happens, who qualifies to have it there and what the day looks like. Its marketing should support the practice’s service lines rather than compete with them.

Outpatient joint replacement is now part of the landscape: for 2020, CMS added total knee arthroplasty to the ASC covered procedures list. Patients increasingly ask where their surgery will take place, so a page explaining the surgery center, how the care team decides who is suited to a same-day procedure and what the day involves is useful content in its own right.

Ownership, referrals and counsel

Surgery centers are often owned in part by the surgeons who operate there. The OIG guide notes that Anti-Kickback safe harbors address investments in ambulatory surgical centers, and that an arrangement must fit a safe harbor squarely, meeting all of its requirements, to be protected. That is counsel’s territory rather than marketing’s, but it is a reason to run any referral or patient incentive idea that involves the center past them first.

One story across two websites

If the center has its own website, link it tightly to the practice’s service-line pages and surgeon profiles, keep names and details consistent, and avoid two sites competing for the same searches. Our healthcare branding page covers naming and site architecture choices.

Which rules shape marketing for orthopedic practices?

HIPAA, the FTC Act and its review rule, the TCPA, the federal fraud and abuse laws, the ADA, the FDA’s position on regenerative products and Google’s and Meta’s health policies all touch marketing for an orthopedic practice. Our campaigns are built to stay within them; the table is a planning aid for the practice and its counsel, not legal advice.

HHS’s bulletin on online tracking technologies says tracking on pages a patient logs into generally has access to protected health information, that a vendor receiving appointment details from a booking page is a business associate that needs an agreement, and that cookie banners asking visitors to accept tracking are not a valid HIPAA authorization. HHS also notes that on June 20, 2024 a federal court vacated the part of the bulletin that treated an IP address combined with a visit to an unauthenticated public page about health conditions or providers as triggering HIPAA, and that it is evaluating its next steps.

On the phone side, 47 CFR 64.1200, the FCC’s TCPA rule, makes prior express written consent a condition of autodialed or prerecorded marketing calls and texts to mobile numbers and carves out health care messages made by or for a HIPAA covered entity. Prerecorded health care calls to a residential line are limited to one a day and three a week per patient. Consent can be revoked in any reasonable way, a caller may not insist on a single method, and revocations must be honored within ten business days at most.

Our medical marketing page sets out how we decide which pages may carry which scripts, and digital healthcare marketing covers compliance across specialties.

How do AI assistants answer orthopedic questions?

Patients now put orthopedic questions to AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, and Google’s AI Overviews answer many of them directly: whether a symptom needs a specialist, how long recovery from a procedure takes, which surgeons nearby treat a condition. Practice leaders ask the same tools which orthopedic digital marketing agency to hire. An assistant can only describe a practice accurately if the practice’s own pages state the facts clearly.

According to Google’s documentation on AI features, a page needs nothing beyond ordinary search eligibility, being indexed and able to show a snippet, to be used as a supporting link in AI Overviews or AI Mode, and both features may fan a question out into several related searches before answering. For an orthopedic question those branches are predictable: what the condition is, the options, recovery, cost and coverage, and who nearby treats it.

What assistants lean on

For clinical questions, assistants tend to draw on large health publishers, professional societies and government sources. For local and provider questions they lean on practice websites, Business Profiles, reviews and directories that state surgeons, service lines and offices consistently. A practice is most likely to be named when its pages answer the local and provider layer better than anyone else nearby.

What to publish

Surgeon profiles with training and focus areas, one page per condition and procedure with the reviewing surgeon named, a plain page on how referrals and second opinions work, office pages listing the services on site, and identical details everywhere. The method is set out on AEO for doctors, with the wider healthcare view on AEO for healthcare and the tracking of AI citations on answer engine optimization.

What does orthopedic marketing cost?

For most orthopedic practices the monthly fee falls between $1,500, for a single channel such as paid search, and $12,000, for a program that coordinates search, referrals, content and reviews. Media is paid to Google or Meta separately, and multi-office SEO or a website rebuild sits on top.

Start from what a consult is worth

Our digital healthcare marketing page gives an indicative planning figure of $200 to $600 per inquiry for orthopedics and spine. Set that beside what a consult is worth to each service line at your practice, after no-shows and conversion to treatment, before deciding how much paid search a line can carry.

Reading the ranges

Nothing in the table is a quote. We write the scope first, listing the lines, channels, offices, deliverables and the date of each report, then price it from these ranges, and media goes straight to the ad platforms on the practice’s own account. The marketing agency pricing and SEO pricing guides explain where each figure comes from.

How long does orthopedic marketing take to work?

Paid search for injuries and brand terms can book consults within weeks once tracking and landing pages are ready. Service-line rankings, surgeon profiles and referral volume usually need a quarter or two to mature, and slower joint replacement decisions often show up in surgical volume later still.

Why organic search lags paid search is explained in our guide to how long SEO takes.

How to choose an orthopedic marketing agency

Choose one that understands orthopedic service lines, referral dynamics and the health rules on ads, claims and tracking. Then get it in writing that every account is registered to the practice and that each report opens with consults and surgeries, not clicks.

Questions for an orthopedic digital marketing agency

Put the same questions to every candidate so the answers can be compared side by side.

1. Which orthopedic or comparable surgical practices have you worked with, and what did you measure?
2. How would you split our budget across service lines, and what would change that split?
3. Which tags would run on our scheduling pages and patient portal, and will each vendor sign a BAA?
4. How will you target ads now that patient lists and lookalikes are off the table?
5. Which claims on our current site or ads would you remove first, and why?
6. How do you set up Business Profiles for surgeons with more than one focus?
7. Who writes clinical content, and how much of our surgeons’ time does review take?
8. What happens to our accounts, content and data if we leave?

How Progression works with orthopedic practices

Service line by service line, from a scope the practice signs off, inside ad, analytics and profile accounts registered to the practice, with every report opening on booked appointments and what each one cost. The team is in New York City and works with orthopedic practices across the United States and worldwide.

Engagements are billed monthly. The roadmap rolls forward ninety days at a time, every action goes into a dated log, either side can end the arrangement on thirty days’ notice, and nothing renews automatically. Some requests we decline for any practice: buying links or reviews, steering unhappy patients away from public review sites, running advertising pixels on pages that hold protected health information, publishing outcome claims no clinician has signed off, substituting stock photography for the real practice, or promising rankings.

What we need from the practice

Logins for analytics, Search Console, Business Profiles, ad accounts and the website in the first week; honest figures for consults, surgeries, show rates and open capacity in each line; a single person who can approve work; and four to eight hours of surgeon or clinician time each month for interviews and content review.

The first ninety days

Weeks one to four repair measurement, Business Profiles and the booking route and record a baseline for each line. Weeks five to eight put brand and injury campaigns live and rebuild the first line pages and surgeon profiles. Weeks nine to twelve bring referral outreach and review requests up to full pace, and the next ninety-day roadmap is written from the consults that actually booked.
