Patients stay with the specialist who explains the next step and books it there and then.

A blood report comes back with one number marked high. The family doctor suggests a specialist, and that evening the patient's daughter searches for the organ and a locality, reads three clinic pages and rings the one that says what the doctor treats and where. A child's ear pain at midnight does the same for an ENT clinic.

Realistic editorial illustration of doctors and general clinics at work in India

In one paragraph

A specialist medical clinic is a doctor's practice built around one organ system or disease, such as the heart, kidneys, lungs, eyes, nerves or blood sugar, where patients arrive on a referral or a worried search. GullySales looks at how the search is answered, how the next test, procedure or review is explained and booked, and how referring doctors are kept informed.

The nine trades here look after one organ or disease each: ears, nose and throat, eyes, heart, blood sugar, stomach and liver, nerves, the urinary tract, kidneys and lungs. Some care for a patient over years and others for a flare or a procedure. What they share is that the first visit ends in a next step, whether a test, a procedure, a referral onward or a review, and the clinic's work depends on the patient taking it. Physicians who refer matter to all of them, and all of them work under rules on what a doctor may say.

9 kinds of business

Each kind of business in specialist medical clinics sells a little differently.

Open the page closest to yours for how its buyers choose and what we would fix first.

ENT clinics

Night-time searches for ear pain or a child's repeated infections need a reply that books. Patients told to return and families advised to operate each need their own follow-up.

Read the page for ent clinics

Ophthalmology clinics

A neighbourhood practice built on repeat visits: a recall for the yearly check and for children's glasses, and a way to hear back from a patient sent to hospital.

Read the page for eye clinics

Cardiology clinics

Families search in worry and physicians refer, while stable patients stop coming for review. That calls for an answered phone, a note back to the referrer and review reminders.

Read the page for cardiology clinics

Diabetes clinics

A lifelong condition, and patients stop when they feel well. Test and diet-review reminders for those who agreed, and a note back to referring physicians, hold them.

Read the page for diabetes clinics

Gastroenterology clinics

Patients are embarrassed to describe symptoms and the scope test frightens some. Plain, discreet pages and a follow-up after test advice answer both.

Read the page for gastroenterology clinics

Neurology clinics

Seizure, migraine, stroke recovery and Parkinson's bring families facing a new diagnosis. Pages by symptom, a clear explanation after the first visit and follow-up for long-term patients serve them.

Read the page for neurology clinics

Urology clinics

A stone attack at night and a prostate problem put off for years bring different patients, so discreet pages and a clear answer on which hospital the doctor operates in and whether insurance applies matter.

Read the page for urology clinics

Nephrology clinics

Kidney patients need years of reviews and tests, and physicians may send them elsewhere. Earlier pages for diabetics and hypertensives, referral notes and test reminders address both.

Pulmonology clinics

A cough that will not clear sends patients searching, and the busy season is short. Symptom pages, an inhaler guide and reminders to those who agreed are prepared ahead of it.

What they share

What usually goes wrong across specialist medical clinics.

Whichever of these you run, you will probably recognise most of them.

“Patients search a symptom and find a list of degrees”
A family types a symptom, a worry or a test result. Our page gives the doctor's qualifications and a phone number, so it does not match what they typed, and it does not say what the doctor treats.
“A worried caller reaches a ringing phone”
The call comes while the doctor is with another patient and the desk is busy. The caller rang at a bad moment, with a symptom, a result or a night of pain, and rings the next clinic.
“The next step is advised once and never booked”
A test, a procedure or a referral is explained in a few minutes at the end of a consultation. The family goes home to think, and nobody writes to ask what held them back.
“Patients who feel well stop coming for review”
A tablet is working, the symptom has settled, the stent is out or the scan was clear. The patient sees no reason to return, and the reviews the doctor advised are not kept.
“The note between us and the doctors we work with is missing”
Physicians and labs send us patients and we send patients to hospitals, labs and other doctors. Neither direction gets a short word back that the patient was seen, so we do not know who is sending us work.
“Questions on where, how much and insurance get different answers”
Callers ask which hospital the doctor operates in, what a procedure costs and whether insurance applies. Each person at the desk answers differently, and some answer with a figure nobody has set.
“We are not sure how plainly a condition may be described”
Some conditions are embarrassing to search and some procedures frighten people. Rules on medical advertising differ by state and body, so we publish little, and what we do publish is worded for the doctors who read it, not for the patient.

Where to start

What to fix first in specialist medical clinics.

In the order we would look at them. Your own enquiry records may change the order, and we would say so.

Write a page for each condition or test that brings patients you want more of, in the words a family would type, with what the doctor does, when to see a doctor and how to book.
Agree one answer for the desk on where the doctor sees patients and operates, what a procedure's cost depends on, and how insurance is confirmed, and write it down.
When a test, procedure or review is advised, book it, or record the date the patient will decide, with the patient's agreement to be contacted.
Set up a review reminder list for the patients the doctor wants to see again, worded so that it does not name the condition.
Keep a list of the physicians and labs that send patients to you and those you send to, and write each a short note, with the patient's agreement, after the patient is seen.
Check with your council or registering body how plainly you may describe conditions and procedures, then go through every page against it.

FAQ

Questions about specialist medical clinics.

Tell us what you need

What may a specialist clinic say about a condition or a procedure?

Rules differ by state and by the body that registers you, so check with your own council or adviser. In general, describe the condition in plain words, say what the doctor does and how to book, and leave out cure, comparison with other doctors and patient results.

How should we write back to a doctor who referred a patient?

With the patient's agreement, send a short note: the patient was seen, and the plan in a line. Do not offer or accept any payment for referrals. Rules differ by council, so check yours.

How do we remind patients about a review without naming the condition?

Ask for agreement at a visit and note it, then send a message that says an appointment is due. Leave out the condition, the test and the doctor's speciality, since a phone may be read by others. Stop when the patient asks.

How do we answer a cost question before the doctor has examined the patient?

Say what the cost depends on, such as the examination, the test, the hospital and the room, and offer a consultation. Do not quote a fixed amount before the doctor has advised the procedure, and say that insurance is confirmed with the insurer and the hospital.

Do we need a separate page for every condition we treat?

A page for each condition that brings the patients you want, and not for every condition on the list. Keep each page short and in plain words, and let the others share a page that says what the doctor treats.

How long is the contract?

The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.

How soon will we see results?

It depends on what is being changed and how many of the people who matter see it. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.

Who will actually do the work?

The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.

What do you need from us?

Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever the work touches, such as your profiles, your website or your accounts, and time with the people who can answer our questions.

What if we are not happy with the work?

Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
