Do you only work with orthopedic surgeons and ortho practices?

We work exclusively with healthcare practices. Orthopedics is a natural fit because we understand the long decision window patients take before agreeing to a joint replacement or surgery, the strong economics of total joints, arthroscopy and regenerative procedures, and the trust a patient needs before they let a surgeon operate on a knee, hip, shoulder or spine.

We already get primary care and ER referrals. Why would we need this?

Referrals are valuable but you do not control them. When a referring physician retires, joins a hospital network, or the local hospital steers cases to its own employed orthopedic group, that pipeline shrinks overnight. Our system gives you a patient source you own outright, so your OR block time is not hostage to relationships and contracts outside your walls.

How do you compete with the big hospital owned orthopedic groups?

We do not try to outspend a hospital system. We position your surgeon, your outcomes and your patient experience so the people who want a real relationship with their surgeon, not a number in a giant network, choose you. Patients deciding who will operate on their knee or shoulder care far more about trust, access and recovery than about a billboard with a hospital logo.

What is the minimum monthly investment?

We recommend a minimum of $3,000/month in paid ad spend for orthopedics. Surgical and regenerative consults carry a higher acquisition cost than a routine visit, so the system needs enough budget to gather data and optimize toward booked, qualified surgical candidates.

Built exclusively for orthopedic surgeons & ortho practices

The patient acquisition
system that fills your joint replacement and surgery calendar.

Q: Can you bring surgical candidates instead of just low level evaluations?

Yes. That is the whole point of the system. We position your practice in front of people whose pain is already limiting their life and who are researching knee replacement, hip replacement, rotator cuff repair, ACL reconstruction and regenerative options, then filter for those ready to actually do something about it. We are not chasing curiosity clicks that clog your schedule with people who will never book surgery.

Q: Do you require long term contracts?

No. Month to month. No setup fees. You stay because consult chairs and OR days are filling, not because a contract says you have to.

We put your orthopedic practice in front of patients whose knee, hip, shoulder or back pain is already running their life, people researching joint replacement, rotator cuff repair, ACL reconstruction and regenerative options, and turn them into booked surgical consults. Not tire kickers. Not curiosity clicks. Patients who are finally ready to fix it and choose their surgeon.

How it works

An orthopedic growth system, not a service.

Most agencies run a few "knee pain ads", send you a spreadsheet of clicks, and leave you wondering why nobody booked a surgical consult. We built a predictive system that does one thing: deliver qualified surgical and regenerative candidates on repeat.

Surgical intent capture

We position your practice in front of people actively searching knee replacement, hip replacement, rotator cuff repair, ACL reconstruction, labral tears and regenerative options in your metro. Real surgical intent, not vague "joint health" curiosity.

Ready to act filter

Most people sit on joint pain for years. Our funnel speaks to the patient who is done waiting, the one whose pain is stealing their sleep, their golf game and their independence, so the consults you get are people ready to commit, not someone idly googling stretches.

Predictive optimization

The system learns from every consult booked, every case that converts to surgery and every regenerative package sold, tightening your cost per booked consult month over month while smoothing the seasonal swings that quiet most ortho schedules.

Consults on your calendar

The only KPI that matters: qualified patients sitting in your consult chair and converting to surgery dates. Clicks and impressions are noise. We report on booked consults and cases on the schedule.

No setup fees

We don't charge you to start. Your investment goes where it belongs, into getting you booked surgical patients.

No referral dependence

We won't leave your OR block hostage to primary care and ER referrals that dry up the moment a hospital network signs your referrers. You get a pipeline you own.

Orthopedic and sports medicine practices like yours are already seeing it work.

"We were completely dependent on primary care referrals and the hospital steering cases to its own group. Now we have our own pipeline of joint replacement and regenerative patients, and for the first time I can plan my OR block a month out instead of hoping referrals fill it."
