Healthcare marketing agency: the 13 best in 2026, by type of buyer

Intrepy Healthcare Marketing has done only medical marketing since 2014, and it says so on its home page. Clutch lists its headquarters in Union Park, in the Orlando area of Florida, and a team of 10 to 49 people. It runs medical SEO, paid ads (Google, programmatic, social), websites, video, physician profile listings, automation and reporting dashboards. It claims more than 40 subspecialties, from dermatology and fertility to ENT and urology. Its sweet spot is still clear: its site says it focuses on the multi-location surgical space, such as orthopedic MSOs. An MSO (management services organization) runs the business side of several practices, often for a fund.

Its proof is named and specific. Tennessee Orthopaedic Clinics grew organic traffic by 94%. Orthopedic Health of Kansas City saw ad conversions rise 575%. Nore Women's Health got 2,416 new menopause leads in 24 months of Google Ads, and MedVA credits it with $10+ million in revenue. On Clutch, Intrepy holds 5.0/5 across 6 reviews. The latest one, from 2026, comes from an orthopedic practice: the CEO reports a 7% rise in new patients on a $10,000 to $49,999 project. The others date from 2019 to 2023. Its case study page lists 11 named clients with figures, most of them orthopedic or surgical practices. Its site also promises transparent reporting dashboards. New and solo doctors get a packaged program called "Doc in a Box".

Clarity Quest Marketing has worked for healthcare technology, biotech and medical device companies since 2001. It gives a Houston address on its site (its Clutch profile lists Groton, Connecticut) and declares 50 to 249 people. It belongs to Supreme Group, a larger healthcare communications group. Everything it sells is B2B: account-based marketing (ABM, campaigns aimed at a short list of named target accounts), brand, go-to-market plans, PR, search and LinkedIn ads, content and websites.

Its results are counted the way a board counts them. Astarte Biologics and Cellero ended in a $38M acquisition. Prognos Health credits it with $15M in pipeline. Relievant Medsystems got 1,700+ spine surgeon leads. In all, its results page lists 31 named case studies, six of them with figures, such as $6.3M in pipeline for SYNERGEN Health. On Clutch, it holds 4.9/5 across 6 reviews, including a health tech marketing VP who reports 5% to 10% more sales. One thing to know: Clarity Quest publishes its own list of the best healthcare marketing agencies and ranks itself first. That list includes four other agencies from its own group. Its disclaimer only says that "several" of them belong to Supreme Group, even if each of their entries mentions the link. Read it as a brochure.

Full Media is a digital agency founded in 2008, with offices in Atlanta and Gainesville (Georgia), Chattanooga (Tennessee) and Roanoke (Virginia). It calls itself "small, but mighty" and declares 10 to 49 people. It works across more than 30 medical specialties: health systems, dental and orthodontics, urgent care, single and multi-specialty practices, senior care. It also sells packaged practice websites under the ReadySites name, published at $399 or $1,499 a month after a $3,000 setup fee.

What sets it apart is that it puts compliance in writing. Its HIPAA page states that Full Media "can provide a BAA to each of our healthcare clients" and that the team is trained every year. It builds compliant forms and call tracking, and runs server-side Google Tag Manager for health sites. The tags run on a server you control, so you choose what data reaches the ad platforms. Its home page shows eight named case studies with figures. Hattiesburg Clinic gained 121% organic traffic, Specialty Orthopaedics 81% more appointments and Khara Orthodontics 367% more calls. Dream Smiles cut its paid search cost per acquisition by 71%. It shows Google Premier Partner, Microsoft Ads Partner and Meta Business Partner badges. Its Clutch rating is 4.8/5, but on 4 reviews, all from 2017.

Digital Elevator is a small search agency based in West Palm Beach, Florida (2 to 9 people, founded in 2010). It works for healthcare, life sciences, biotech, medtech and labtech brands, next to SaaS and e-commerce clients. Its focus is search: classic SEO, AEO (answer engine optimization, getting your brand cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI answers), AI visibility reports and programs, websites and PR.

It is the most transparent agency in this ranking on price. Its site lists a free AI visibility report for qualified teams and an AI visibility program from $3,500. Managed AEO/SEO starts at $5,000 a month, AI visibility mentions at $3,495 a month and websites at $6,000. It does not publish a contract term; its home page says that where a plan carries a minimum commitment, it is written in the proposal before you sign. The same page says what you get every month: a report on what was done, what it moved and what comes next. Its proof includes McKesson, with 34% more PPC (pay-per-click) leads over six months. Halo Labs, a biotech, saw its LLM-referred sessions (visits coming from AI assistants) rise 1,182%. Reviews are its other strength: 5.0/5 across 18 Clutch reviews. Two come from pharma companies (2022 and 2023), and two recent ones from lab equipment makers. A caveat: its founder and CEO signs one of the best-ranked "best healthcare marketing agencies" lists on Google. Written in the first person ("At Digital Elevator, we..."), it ranks Digital Elevator first without a rule for its order. Read it as the agency's pitch.

Healthcare Success has been a healthcare-only agency since 2006. It is based in Irvine, California, and says it has more than 40 team members and 1,000+ healthcare clients. Its menu is the widest in this ranking. It covers strategy, brand, creative, paid search, SEO, AI visibility, social, content and websites. It adds connected TV, physician marketing, reputation, PR, staff training and traditional media. It also offers a 24-hour analytics dashboard and a HIPAA-protected call tracking platform.

Its case studies carry real numbers. A PE-backed urgent care group reached a 9:1 ROI in a single month and over $4.4 million in new annual revenue. Muir Wood Adolescent & Family Services saw patient admissions rise 133%. Focal Therapy got 83% more conversions while cutting its acquisition cost by 29%. Mountain View Medical Center gets over 250 new patients a month, and Healthcare Navigator got nearly 175,000 organic site inquiries across 50 microsites. Thomson Memory Centers grew from a single doctor to 16 doctors in 8 locations through doctor referral building. Most of its other case studies, like Beach House or Tennessee Vein Center, carry no figure. The catch: its Clutch profile shows no review at all, and the testimonials on its own site carry no rating.

Cardinal Digital Marketing was founded in 2009 and is based in the Atlanta area (Clutch lists Chamblee, Georgia). It sells patient acquisition to groups with many locations: DSOs (dental service organizations, which run many dental offices), behavioral health, primary care, dermatology, health systems and private equity platforms. It runs Google, Meta and TikTok ads, creative, websites, SEO and what it calls "AISO" (optimization for AI search answers). It also has two in-house tools: RevRx for business intelligence and OmegaHealth, which it describes as an "AI growth operating system". Its home page now presents it as the dedicated healthcare division of Power Digital, a larger agency.

Its results are at network scale, and each one carries the client's logo, though never its name in the text. It reports +77% conversion rate for what it calls the nation's largest physical therapy group and +54% leads in a year for a veterinary network of 400+ sites. A DSO got 116% more leads, and one Meta strategy cut acquisition cost by 73%. We count a logo on a result card as a named client: the physical therapy group (ATI) and the DSO (Peak Dental) count, while the veterinary network is outside human healthcare. Its Clutch profile names LifeStance Health, VitalSkin Dermatology and SmileDoctors, and its portfolio there shows Swedish Covenant and Boston IVF, all without figures. Its Clutch rating looks perfect (5.0/5), but it rests on 4 reviews from 2017 to 2020. They come from dance studios and marketing agencies, none from a healthcare client.

The Weinbach Group is a Miami agency with 10 to 49 people that started as a PR firm before moving into healthcare. Its healthcare page lists hospitals, practitioners, managed care (Medicare Advantage plans, HMOs and insurers), mental health, urgent care, pharma and public health. Its services mix healthcare marketing, PR, digital, traditional media, research, email and, above all, Hispanic marketing, in English and Spanish.

Its healthcare page says it has won more than 50 Healthcare Advertising Awards. It also says it is the only SHSMD member agency in South Florida (SHSMD is a professional society for healthcare strategy and marketing). Its healthcare case study covers Genuine Health Group, a value-based care company whose brand it built from the ground up. It also ran an email campaign to recruit primary care physicians into the client's networks, which now count more than 300 doctors. On Clutch, it holds 5.0/5 across 13 reviews. Most come from culture, government and finance clients, one of them a company that recovers insurance payments for hospitals. Three are from healthcare clients: a dermatology surgery practice that reports more bookings, a value-based care platform and an eating disorder treatment center. Its declared minimum project of $1,000 is one of the lowest here.

Brighter Click is based in Raleigh, North Carolina, was founded in 2019 and declares 10 to 49 people. Its site presents a performance marketing agency for healthcare, fintech and high-growth brands. On Clutch, it is a "Clinical Trial Recruitment Partner". Trial recruitment is the part that matters here, and that job has its own rules. Ads and landing pages must pass IRB review (the ethics board that approves anything a trial shows to patients), and reporting must not expose patient data. Brighter Click builds "IRB-ready" ads and pages, and reports cost per qualified referral with no PHI (protected health information) exposed. It says its team is certified on ICH GCP E6(R3), the international good clinical practice standard.

Its site shows a recruitment account spending $600,000 a month across 6 active trials, where cost per patient fell 45.9%. A medical equipment supplier got an 80% lower cost per lead. Client logos include Adams Clinical, Retina Consultants of America and Life IVF Center. Its only named case with figures is outside healthcare: Gelato, a SaaS platform, cut its customer acquisition cost by 17.6%. Its ratings look strong: 4.9/5 across 19 Clutch reviews, and 4.9/5 across 58 on the Semrush agency directory, which merges Google Maps reviews. The reviews shown on that directory come from content creators who make videos for it, not from clients. So we count its Clutch reviews only. None of them comes from a healthcare or clinical trial client. Keep in mind that Google Ads accepts clinical trial recruitment ads in the US on three conditions. The ad promotes no prescription drug, makes no misleading promise about the product tested and does not hint that it is safe. Most other countries ban them, which matters for a multi-country study.

Sagapixel is a Philadelphia-area agency (Clutch lists Cherry Hill, New Jersey), founded in 2017 according to its about page. Clutch's company summary gives 2 to 9 people, while the line for its Cherry Hill office says 10 to 15; we score the company summary. It runs SEO, GEO (optimization for AI answers), Meta, Google and ChatGPT ads, social and websites. Its clients are med spas, plastic surgeons, hair transplant and weight loss clinics, telemedicine, dermatology, dentistry and other care providers. Many of those are cash-pay practices, where patients pay out of pocket rather than through insurance.

Its about page publishes how it bills. Google and Meta ads cost 10% to 22% of ad spend, plus creative and landing pages as needed. For SEO and social, your monthly budget buys agency hours, unused budget rolls over to the next month, and you can see the timesheets. Contracts are month to month, and its contact form starts at budgets under $1,000 a month. The team also publishes clear compliance advice: its Meta ads guide explains that Meta will not sign a BAA. So the pixel must stay off appointment pages, patient portals and medical forms. Its case studies have numbers but no client names. A telemedicine client went from 150 to 34,000 monthly visitors in six months. An orthodontist gained 300% organic traffic, a hair transplant clinic 64% more leads, an air ambulance service 229% more conversions. It holds 5/5 across 13 reviews on the Semrush agency directory, which merges Google Maps and Semrush reviews. It has no Clutch reviews.

Distill Health is a branding, strategy and communications firm for health tech, medtech and digital health companies. Its core team works from Austin, Texas, fully remote, and Clutch lists it as founded in 2018 with 2 to 9 people. It sells brand strategy, design and activation, and "raise readiness" (getting a company ready for its next funding round). Content, website and paid search work come on retainer. It also says plainly what it does not do: no drug brands, and no patient acquisition for providers.

It is one of the few agencies here that puts both its entry prices and its minimum term on its site. Projects start at $25,000, and retainers at $7,000 a month for at least 3 months; the agency itself says it is "not the cheapest option". Its case studies name real clients (Ottobock, Nuvara, SonoStik, Theator), with snapshots for AMS and Komodo Health. None of them carries a figure. Its testimonials come with names and titles, like the CEO of SonoStik or the VP of marketing of Particle Health. Yet it has no review on Clutch or any other independent platform.

WAX Healthcare Marketing is a Miami agency founded in 1987, with 10 to 49 people. It works on brand, strategy, media, creative and web for health systems, hospitals, retail medicine, health insurers, independent practices and ACOs. An ACO (accountable care organization) is a group of providers paid partly on their patients' health outcomes. It also presents an in-house AI assistant, Max.

Its best-known case is Mount Sinai South Nassau's "Truth in Medicine" campaign. Its home page credits it with "32% more patients". The case study page speaks of double-digit growth in patient volume in the first year, across every promoted service line. It also shows work for American Choice Healthcare, ChristianaCare and MOTION PT, without figures, and logos such as UCHealth, Ochsner, Baylor Scott & White and Humana. It lists Healthcare Advertising Awards year after year and is a Google Partner. The weak spots: no price, no contract term, and no public review on Clutch or on any page we could read.

PatientGain is closer to a packaged platform than to a classic agency, and it puts more of its prices online than any other agency here. The GOLD plan starts at $799 a month and includes a WordPress website, SEO, 20 apps and a project manager. PLATINUM costs $1,399 a month, and a marketing automation starter, FastStart, costs $299 a month. Ad budgets are billed separately with an 18% flat management fee, and there is no setup fee. Extra apps are à la carte: chatbot from $149 a month, SMS from $199, social from $399, email from $499. Clear up the ranges before you sign. A banner on the pricing page says "$999/mon to $1999/mon", and its headline says "typically $899/mon to $2499/mon". The home page shows website plans "starting at $800 to $4000 per month". And the pricing page itself is titled "Dental Marketing Services Pricing", so ask whether the same grid applies to your specialty.

Compliance is part of the package: PatientGain advertises "HIPAA compliance, with a BAA out of the box". What it lacks is proof. Its site shows no case study with numbers and no real client name. Its one testimonial comes from "ABC Dermatology", which reads like a placeholder. We found no review on an independent platform either, and its contract length is not published.

Parker White (written ParkerWhite on its site) is a San Diego-area agency, based in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California. It focuses on brand, creative, marketing, websites and lead generation for medtech companies, with messaging for healthcare professionals, direct-to-patient campaigns and device launches.

Its portfolio page lists 46 projects, most of them for medtech and device brands: FUJIFILM Sonosite, Avanos, Verathon, Orthofix, SeaSpine, Bioventus, DJO Global and Fairfax EggBank. 33 of the 46 are medtech or healthcare projects. The other 13 run from a senior living brand to Finance of America Reverse, Pulltarps or the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank. It also publishes launch case studies for Epitomee ("a drug-free innovation in a drug-driven market") and for Bedal's FlexGRIP. But it publishes no result figures, no prices, no team size and no founding year, and it has no Clutch profile.
