Memphis specialty medicine
questions, answered.
- How much pediatric specialty demand does St. Jude absorb?
- For complex pediatric cases (oncology, rare diseases), most of it. For routine pediatric specialty (derm, GI, ENT, ophthalmology), St. Jude is not the default; community pediatric specialty practices remain viable. Adult specialty is untouched by the St. Jude halo.
- Do you work with referral-only specialty practices?
- Yes. The approach shifts from patient-first to referring-physician-first. We build liaison pages, concierge reply workflows, and physician-to-physician content that lives on its own site surface but compounds with the patient-facing brand.
- Which specialties have you worked with?
- Dermatology, plastic surgery, orthopedics, GI, ophthalmology, cardiology, urology, OB/GYN, ENT, endocrinology, vascular surgery, pain management, and interventional radiology.
- Can you handle multi-physician specialty groups?
- Up to fifteen physicians per group fits the product tiers. Groups larger than that usually sit in Architect because the internal coordination surface grows faster than the marketing surface.
- How does paid media work for specialty practices?
- Procedure-specific campaigns, not brand-generic. Self-pay procedures (aesthetic dermatology, cosmetic plastic surgery, elective cardiology) convert profitably at scale. Insurance-heavy specialties require caution because the unit economics are tighter.
- Do you do reputation management?
- Review velocity and response management are in every tier. We don't do review removal work; that's BrightLocal's legal domain and we route it there when warranted.
- Can you work with a hospital-affiliated specialty practice?
- When the practice has autonomous marketing authority. When marketing lives in the hospital system and has to clear enterprise review, the process fit is wrong and we say so.
