ExperClinic is a patient communication platform for women's health practices: OB/GYN, midwifery, fertility, gynecology, maternal-fetal medicine, and pelvic floor therapy. The default SMS template is privacy-first and never names the doctor, appointment, or anything clinical, so locked-screen previews stay private. Every patient still gets the same two options: leave a Google review or send private feedback.

The differentiator

What your patient's locked screen actually shows.

A standard appointment-reminder SMS includes the doctor's name and the word "appointment".For women's health practices, that is a privacy harm waiting to happen.ExperClinic uses a different template entirely.

What other tools send

Hi Sarah, this is a reminder for your fertility appointment with Dr. Chen at Maple Wellness tomorrow at 2pm.
What just got exposed. Anyone glancing at Sarah's phone now knows she sees a fertility specialist named Dr. Chen at Maple Wellness. Family. A partner she has not yet told. A coworker over coffee. Reproductive and gynecological care should be private. This SMS just published it on a piece of glass.
What ExperClinic sends
Sensitive-practice variant
No doctor. No clinical context. The patient knows what it means. Nobody else does.

Hi Sarah, this is a message from Maple Wellness. We would appreciate hearing from you: maple.help/r/4f2x9
The patient knows. Nobody else does. Sarah recognizes "Maple Wellness" because she chose this practice. To anyone glancing at her phone, the message could be from any business. Fertility medicine, OB/GYN, midwifery, gynecology, every women's health specialty flagged sensitive in ExperClinic uses this template by default. It is not a setting you have to remember to turn on.
What it does

What women's health practices use ExperClinic for

Three jobs that respect the privacy your patients are entitled to.

1

Privacy-first appointment reminders

The 48-hour reminder uses the discreet template by default for fertility medicine, OB/GYN, maternal-fetal, midwifery, gynecology, and pelvic floor therapy. The 24-hour reminder is off by default for the most sensitive specialties to limit same-day notification exposure.

2

Review requests, sent discreetly

Women's health practices still benefit from reviews, especially fertility and pelvic floor where patients actively shop providers. ExperClinic sends a post-visit review request using the discreet SMS template: no doctor name, no clinical wording. Your reputation grows without a single patient being outed on a locked phone screen.

3

Per-practice STOP, never cross-practice

When a patient texts STOP, the opt-out scopes to your practice only, not their entire history with other providers. STOP, START, and HELP are handled per TCPA convention with no surprises.

The problem

Why standard patient communication fails women's health

Three problems that come with privacy-sensitive specialties.

Privacy harm

Standard SMS reminders out patients on locked phones.

Most patient communication platforms send the same reminder to a dentist's patient and a fertility patient. A partner she has not yet told sees "fertility appointment with Dr. Chen" on her lock screen. Reproductive-care privacy is supposed to be the patient's choice, not a vendor's default.

Wrong tone

Aggressive review-asking is inappropriate for sensitive specialties.

"Boost your ratings" pitches do not fit women's health. Patients should not feel pressured to publicly disclose that they see a fertility specialist or a midwife. The review ask itself has to be respectful.

Compliance

STOP and opt-out compliance is non-negotiable.

TCPA, CASL, and PIPEDA all require functional opt-out for any commercial messaging. A platform that scopes STOP across practices the patient never agreed to, or that does not honor opt-out at all, is a regulatory exposure waiting to happen.

How it helps

How does ExperClinic help women's health practices?

Five capabilities, all configured for privacy by default.

Discreet SMS template by default

Auto-applied to any women's health practice flagged sensitive. No doctor name, no clinical reference. Default behaviour, not a setting to remember.

Discreet review requests

Reviews still go out for women's health practices. The wording omits doctor name and clinical context, so the ask itself never outs a patient on a locked screen.

Per-practice STOP scoping

STOP from a patient flags them as opted out from your practice only. They are never accidentally unsubscribed from another clinic they have a relationship with.

PIPEDA and HIPAA-aligned data handling

Names and phone numbers only. No clinical content stored. Audit log strips PHI from metadata. Optional BAA signing for US providers.

Two-way SMS inbox

Patient replies appear in a threaded conversation in the dashboard. Useful for confirming appointments and rescheduling without phone tag.

FAQ

Common questions from women's health practices

Will my patients receive review requests?
Yes, but in a privacy-first way. ExperClinic sends a review request after every completed appointment, including for women's health practices. The difference is the wording: the SMS uses a discreet template that never names the doctor or references an appointment. The patient knows the message is from your practice and recognizes the link. Anyone glancing at her locked phone screen sees nothing clinical.
What does an appointment reminder SMS look like?
A sensitive-practice reminder reads, in full: "Hi Sarah, this is a message from Maple Wellness. We would appreciate hearing from you: [link]". There is no doctor name. There is no clinical reference. There is no word like "appointment", "fertility", "gynecology", or "pregnancy". The SMS will not out a patient on a locked phone screen, regardless of who else is looking at it.
Is ExperClinic HIPAA and PIPEDA compliant?
ExperClinic is built for PIPEDA compliance and supports BAA signing for US providers under HIPAA. The platform stores patient names and phone numbers only, never clinical content. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The activity log records what happened without storing message bodies, email bodies, or free-text comments.
Can I send 24-hour reminders for sensitive practices?
By default, fertility medicine, OB/GYN, maternal-fetal, and midwifery ship with the 24-hour reminder turned off and the 48-hour reminder turned on. The reasoning is that two reminders within a single day for sensitive specialties increase the chance of an awkward locked-screen exposure. Pelvic floor therapy and gynecology default to both reminders on. You can override the default per practice in your settings.
What if a patient texts STOP?
STOP scopes to your practice only, not the patient's entire SMS history with other providers. 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 with a silent acknowledgment for STOP and START and a contact-info auto-reply for HELP.
How does ExperClinic handle pregnancy loss or fertility-treatment endings?
ExperClinic does not currently have a dedicated 'archived' or 'do not contact' patient state. The most respectful workflow today is to delete the patient record from your patient list, which immediately removes them from all future automated SMS (review requests, recall reminders, appointment reminders). Some practices prefer to note "do not contact" in their internal notes and rely on a manual review before any send. We are tracking a soft-archive feature for this scenario.
What about midwifery and pelvic floor therapy specifically?
Midwifery and pelvic floor therapy both ship with the privacy-first SMS template turned on by default. Midwifery uses the prefix-less Registered Midwife (RM) credential format. Pelvic floor therapy uses the standard Physiotherapist (PT) credential. Both attribute reviews to the correct practitioner internally, with the public review still landing on your single Google Business Profile.
