Is WhatsApp marketing allowed for healthcare practices?

Yes. Using the official WhatsApp Business Platform API, healthcare providers can send approved transactional messages, appointment reminders, and opt-in educational updates.

How do you handle patient opt-outs and unsubscribe requests?

Every message includes an instant one-word opt-out ('STOP'), and our systems immediately sync unsubscribe status across all channels to ensure complete compliance.

Can we segment messages based on patient conditions?

Yes. We create secure, privacy-compliant segments (e.g. cardiology patients, prenatal care, dental recall) so messages are always relevant to each patient's specific health journey.

Why choose us

Why healthcare brands choose us.

Six reasons hospitals, clinics, and doctors pick a healthcare-only firm over a generalist agency.

Healthcare-only
It's all we do. No retail, no fintech — the whole team thinks in patient journeys, clinical trust, and the way people actually choose a doctor.
AI-first systems
Receptionists, WhatsApp triage, and attribution built in-house — we answer patients in seconds and tie every click to a booked appointment.
Compliance built-in
HIPAA-aware handling, ASCI-reviewed creative, and GDPR/DPDP sign-off on every campaign — our standard, not an upcharge or an afterthought.
Senior on every account
The senior who pitched you stays on the engagement. No bait-and-switch to juniors learning on your budget.
Measured to the appointment
Patient-level attribution across calls, forms, and walk-ins. Monthly reports show booked patients — not just clicks and impressions.
Receipts, not promises
We name our clients and show the work. Quarterly reviews with the numbers attached, every cycle.
