Tinsley Surgical’s Digital Marketing Transformation
Overview
Tinsley Surgical is a patient-centric surgical practice specializing in vein treatments, vascular interventions, and general surgery. They differentiate themselves from competitors with an approach that focuses on easy and quick patient access, compassionate care, and comprehensive treatment plans.
Their key patient demographics include:
- Vein Treatments: Women aged 30-60 with leg swelling, varicose veins, or spider veins.
- Vascular Surgery: Older adults aged 50-80 suffering from claudication, foot pain, or non-healing wounds.
- General Surgery: Adults aged 25-75 with conditions such as gallbladder issues, hernias, and skin masses.
Tinsley Surgical needed a stronger online presence to increase patient appointments and compete against larger regional vascular surgery providers such as Scarless Vein Care, Carolina Vascular Institute, Wilmington Health Vascular Surgeons, and McLeod Vascular.
