In one paragraph

Personal branding for an orthopaedic surgeon explains when surgery is and is not the answer, to patients and to the physicians and physiotherapists who refer. GullySales drafts that education and an accurate professional profile from a conversation with you, within the limits of medical advertising.

Where this sits

For orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeons

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The decision is the story, not the implant”

    A patient with a painful knee wants to know whether to operate, wait or rehabilitate. An honest account of how you reach that decision is more useful than any description of a device, and it is what a second-opinion reader looks for.

  • “Physiotherapists and physicians shape the route to you”

    A patient reaches a surgeon through the person who treated them first. These referrers want to know when you advise conservative care, which problems you take on and how you work with their rehabilitation plan.

  • “Equipment and brand names invite scrutiny”

    Naming an implant, a robot or a technique as a reason to choose you is promotional, and it can draw attention from the council. The explanation should centre on the clinical question and leave the product out.

  • “Sports and trauma are different audiences with different fears”

    An athlete wants to know about return to activity, a family after a fall wants to know about hospital stay and mobility. Each needs writing for their own worry, without a promise about recovery.

What we do

What we deliver for orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeons.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A profile that gives training and the scope of practice

    Qualifications, fellowships, registration details, the joints and conditions you treat and the procedures you perform, in plain wording a referrer can scan.

    Result: A physiotherapist or physician can tell in a minute whether a patient belongs with you.

  2. An hour on how you decide whether to operate

    A conversation about borderline cases, alternatives to surgery and what you tell patients about recovery. The reasoning is yours and it cannot be delegated.

    Result: Explanations that sound like you, drafted without you opening a laptop after a list.

  3. Plain guidance on joint problems and the choice of care

    Pieces on when pain needs imaging, what rehabilitation involves, and what surgery means for daily life. Educational, with no outcome figures, no device claims and no offers.

    Result: The patient reads your reasoning before the consultation and arrives with better questions.

  4. A clear approach to images and cases

    A written policy for scans, theatre images and teaching cases: written consent, nothing identifiable, no comparison and no suggestion of a guaranteed result.

    Result: Teaching content that can be shared without risk to your registration.

  5. Visibility in orthopaedic and sports medicine forums

    A biography, presentation topics and outreach to association meetings, workshops and journals, so colleagues meet your clinical thinking directly.

    Result: Registrars and referrers recognise your name from a professional setting.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries that name you or came through your profile
  • Searches for your name, from Search Console
  • Profile views and connection requests from your industry
  • Speaking invitations, press enquiries and podcast requests
  • Posts published against posts planned, and what held up the rest

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the work runs for orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeons

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Work out whether this is even your bottleneck

    The first conversation covers how enquiries reach you today. If the company's own site is the weaker link, that comes first, and we say so.

  2. 2

    Search your own name with you

    We look at what a buyer sees today: every profile, old listing and photograph. Some of it you will want taken down, and some of it only you can take down.

  3. 3

    Agree what you will and will not say

    The subjects you know cold, the ones that belong to your clients, and the lines your regulator or association draws. Written down before anything is published.

  4. 4

    Rebuild the profiles

    The bio page, LinkedIn and the directories that matter in your field, done once and done properly.

  5. 5

    The routine

    Interview, drafts, your approval, publication. The interview is the only part that needs you, and it is the part that cannot be skipped.

  6. 6

    Hand it over

    The subject list, the drafting notes and the calendar are yours. If you would rather keep it running yourself, that is a fair outcome.

Before you hire anyone

The first thing to do yourself.

It costs nothing, and it shows what a buyer sees before they ever call you.

  1. Search your own name and your practice or business name in a private browser window, and list the first ten results.
  2. Open your profile on each major platform and check that the name, photo, description and contact details agree.
  3. Ask two people who recently chose you what they looked up first, and write down their answers.

Judge any provider

What to ask any agency or ghost-writer.

Useful whoever you choose, including us.

  • Who writes my words, and do I approve everything before it goes out?
  • Which of my own details and claims will you need to check with me before publishing?
  • What will you not write because of the rules my profession follows?
  • Whose account do the profiles and the content sit in, and what happens to them if we stop?
  • What do you count as a result, and what will you not promise?

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can I tell patients my implants are the newest?
We would not write it. Describing a device or technique as newer or better is a comparative claim, and councils restrict comparative and promotional wording. Advertising and publicity rules for doctors differ by council and change, so check with your own medical council.
Can I mention the number of joints I have replaced?
A volume figure on a webpage works as a claim of experience and standing, and we do not draft it. Experience is better shown through a plain account of training, case types and the way you reach decisions.
My referrals come from three physiotherapists. Is this worth it?
Those three already know your work. It matters for the fourth who has never met you, and for the patient who checks your name before agreeing to an operation.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
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.
