ExperClinic is a patient communication platform for orthopedics, sports medicine, podiatry, and pain management. After every visit, patients get an SMS with two options: leave a Google review or send private feedback. The pain management variant uses the discreet template that omits any clinical context, so locked-screen previews stay private.

What it does

What orthopedic practices use ExperClinic for

Three jobs that match how orthopedic care actually works.

1

Post-surgical follow-up reminders

Post-op visits are critical for recovery, and a no-show can delay healing or hide a complication. ExperClinic sends a 48-hour and 24-hour reminder before every scheduled follow-up. Both default-on for orthopedics, sports medicine, and podiatry.

2

Recovery-focused reviews

Sports medicine and orthopedic patients are some of the best reviewers a practice can have. They write detailed accounts of their recovery, which builds enormous credibility for new patients researching the practice. Automatic post-visit review requests capture those moments.

3

Privacy-first SMS for pain management

Pain management is flagged as a sensitive specialty in ExperClinic's taxonomy. Pain management visits use a discreet SMS template that omits the doctor's name and any clinical reference. Reviews still go out, but the wording protects patient privacy on locked phone screens.

The problem

Why orthopedic practices benefit from automated communication

Three problems that span surgical, sports medicine, and pain management workflows.

Recovery delays

A missed post-op follow-up costs more than the slot.

If a post-surgical patient does not show for their 6-week check, a complication can go undetected. The next available appointment may be weeks out. The recovery timeline slips and the patient leaves frustrated.

Detailed reviews

Sports medicine patients write the best reviews.

Active patients describing their return to running, lifting, or competition produce reviews that drive new patient acquisition. But they only write them if you ask. Capturing those reviews requires a timely ask after every completed visit.

Pain management privacy

Pain management requires privacy-aware messaging.

A patient managing chronic pain does not want a partner, family member, or coworker to see "pain management appointment" on their lock screen. The SMS itself has to be discreet, even when the practice next door uses standard SMS for orthopedic surgery.

How it helps

How does ExperClinic help orthopedic practices?

Five capabilities, all included on every plan.

48h and 24h reminders

Both default on for orthopedics, sports medicine, and podiatry. Especially important for post-surgical follow-up.

Post-visit review requests

Sent after every completed visit. Captures detailed sports medicine reviews and recovery testimonials before the moment passes.

Privacy-first SMS for pain management

Pain management auto-applies the discreet template: no doctor name, no clinical reference. Other practices on the page (orthopedics, sports medicine, podiatry) use the standard template.

Per-doctor review attribution

Each orthopedist, sports medicine doctor, or podiatrist gets their own credentials (MD, FRCSC, DPM). Reviews and feedback attribute correctly.

FAQ

Common questions from orthopedic practices

How does ExperClinic handle post-surgical follow-up appointments?
Post-surgical follow-up is critical and a no-show can delay recovery. ExperClinic sends a 48-hour and 24-hour reminder before every scheduled follow-up, both default-on for orthopedics. Each scheduled visit also fires its own post-visit review request after the appointment is marked complete.
Does ExperClinic handle pain management patients with privacy in mind?
Yes. Pain management is flagged as a sensitive practice type in ExperClinic's taxonomy. Pain management visits use a discreet SMS template that omits the doctor's name and any clinical reference. Reviews still go out for pain management practices, but the message that asks for one is privacy-aware. The orthopedist next door using ExperClinic for orthopedic surgery does not get the discreet template; only practices flagged sensitive do.
Why are reviews especially valuable for sports medicine?
Sports medicine patients are often active, motivated, and write detailed reviews about their recovery. They are some of the best reviewers a practice can have. Capturing those reviews requires a timely ask after every completed visit, which ExperClinic automates.
Will my associate orthopedists each get their own review attribution?
Yes. Each orthopedist or sports medicine doctor is added with their own credentials. Orthopedics ships with Dr. as the prefix and MD as the default suffix, with FRCSC available as an alternate. Podiatry uses Dr. and DPM. The review request SMS names the doctor the patient saw.
Can I import patients from my current EMR?
Yes. ExperClinic accepts CSV bulk uploads of up to 5,000 patients per file and 5,000 appointments per file. Most orthopedic EMRs export to CSV. Direct integrations are not yet available, but the trade-off is that the platform is a fraction of the price of integrated competitors.
What happens when a patient texts STOP?
STOP scopes to your practice only. The patient is flagged as opted out from your practice and receives no further automated SMS. The record stays in your patient list, just marked. Inbound STOP, START, and HELP are handled per TCPA convention.
