Medical + dental marketing operates under different rules than other industries. HIPAA constraints affect how patient inquiries can be handled in your CRM, what data can be collected through online forms, and how you can communicate with existing patients. FDA rules affect what dermatology, plastic surgery, and certain specialty practices can claim in advertising. State medical and dental Board rules add another layer of compliance for specific languages.
We work within those constraints rather than around them. Forms include HIPAA-compliant intake flows where the practice requires it. Ad copy stays inside FDA + state-Board language rules. Email + text marketing uses HIPAA-aware platforms. We’ll add the appropriate disclaimer language and won’t draft copy that violates regulatory rules — final compliance review still sits with your practice administrator.
Outside of compliance, the marketing patterns are favorable. Patient lifetime values are high, search intent is high, the Google Maps 3-pack drives most local search traffic, and reviews carry outsized weight in patient evaluation. The math typically works in even competitive markets.
