Growing a multi-location medical provider with a new brand strategy

Doctor explaining bone and joint system to patient

Client overview

The Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic, founded in 1938 by Dr. Otto Anderson Engh, has been a pioneer in orthopedic care for over eighty years. Today, the clinic is renowned in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) region for its expertise in minimally invasive surgery, joint replacement, arthroscopic surgery, sports medicine, and comprehensive upper extremity and spine care. Combining cutting-edge technology with a holistic approach to treatment, Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic integrates education, prevention, and rehabilitation to maximize patient recovery and quality of life, while their involvement in clinical research and education advances the broader field of orthopedics.

Challenge

Like many service-based healthcare organizations, Anderson Orthopedic Clinic is focused on attracting new patients to their practices. Maintaining efficiency in appointment booking capacity not only ensures optimal patient engagement, but also supports an additional focus on new physician recruitment.

Despite Anderson’s long-standing history and positive reputation in the region, there is always a new cohort of potential patients who may not be familiar with the group, making brand awareness another ongoing and essential need.

Lastly, Anderson needed a more robust data collection and measurement system in order to monitor marketing performance and enable their organization to constantly optimize their approach to better meet the needs of both patients and providers.

Insights

Established as a beacon of innovation in orthopedic care, The Anderson Orthopedic Clinic has grown to be a leading name in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C metropolitan area. They offer a broad array of services, including advanced surgical procedures, custom prosthetics, and comprehensive rehabilitation programs. Known for its commitment to improving patient mobility and quality of life, Anderson prides itself on utilizing the latest medical technology and techniques to deliver effective solutions for musculoskeletal health. Anderson Orthopedic Clinic stands above the competition in providing quality care, however, many prospective patients view orthopedic options as generally interchangeable or take their primary care physician’s recommendations at face value instead of doing their own research.
