We see it all the time. Hardworking doctors who are trying desperately to grow their practices, practically killing themselves and getting nowhere. Sound familiar? If you’re trying to find more patients, grow your practice, or open more clinics by yourself, we’ve got one word for you – STOP. Here’s the simple truth. You can’t be a great doctor and a great marketer. You’re just one person. Take off the cape, take a step back and you’ll see that what you’re trying to do is darn near impossible. We’d say impossible, but we’re a pretty optimistic bunch, so we’ll stick with darn near. Stay with me here.
You’ve been self-diagnosing. (Oh, the irony, right?)
Doctors Don’t Have Time for Marketing
But listen. You saw a problem and thought, “I’m an intelligent human being. I need marketing. I need a website so my patients can find me. I can do that.” So you had a website built and you waited for more patients. You got a few more, but nothing like you’d like to see.
Then you probably said, “I know. I need SEO to help my patients find my website.” We’re just gonna stop you there. If you’ve been trying to do search engine optimization with a medical degree…well, it’s really hard. Sure you’re smart, but you’re also smart enough to know that there are certain disciplines that require expertise. SEO is one of those disciplines. Heck, I can’t do it. But our SEO gurus can. The point is, you can’t dabble in it. Even if you did have the time and inclination to try to master it, it changes on a fairly regular basis. You’ll never have the time to become an expert.
So you have to ask yourself, “Do I want to be a doctor, or a marketer?” You simply can’t be both.
