Learn how to build your ideal practiceWhy Orthopaedic Surgeons Need a Professional Website
A well-designed website is essential for modern orthopaedic surgeons to attract patients, build trust, and grow their practice.
Subspecialty Focus Communication
Hip and knee replacement vs shoulder arthroscopy vs spine surgery vs sports medicine vs hand surgery—patients and GPs need to refer to surgeons with relevant expertise. Clear subspecialty messaging improves referral appropriateness.
Hospital Affiliation Clarity
Patients need to know which private hospitals you operate at, which health funds have gap cover arrangements, and whether you also see public patients. This affects their out-of-pocket costs significantly.
Set Realistic Cost Expectations
Joint replacements can have out-of-pocket costs of $5,000-$15,000+ depending on hospital, implants, and health fund cover. Clear fee information helps patients plan and reduces post-surgery billing surprises.
Wait Time Transparency
Public hospital joint replacement waits can exceed 2-3 years in some areas. Private patients want to know your availability. Clear communication reduces frustrated phone calls.
AHPRA-Compliant Surgical Marketing
We ensure your website meets AHPRA guidelines while effectively communicating your surgical expertise, approach, and outcomes.
Challenges Orthopaedic Surgeons Face Online
We understand the unique challenges that orthopaedic surgeons face when building their online presence.
Subspecialty Focus Communication
Patients and GPs need to refer to orthopaedic surgeons with relevant expertise. A general "orthopaedic surgery" website doesn't help patients find a hip replacement specialist vs a sports knee surgeon vs a hand surgeon.
Gap Payments and Private Health Complexity
Joint replacements often have significant out-of-pocket costs ($5,000-$15,000+). Patients need clear information about hospital excess, surgeon fees, anaesthetist fees, and what their specific fund covers at your hospitals.
Wait Time Realities
Public hospital joint replacement waits can exceed 2-3 years in some areas. Private patients want to know your surgical availability. Clear communication reduces frustrated enquiries and helps patients plan.
Rehabilitation Expectations
Patients considering joint replacement want to know: how long until I can drive, return to work, play golf again? Clear recovery timeline information helps patients make informed decisions about timing.
