How we built a complete patient acquisition system for a cash-based spine clinic in Murfreesboro, TN — and grew annual revenue from $400K to $890K.
Before consulting for anyone else, we built and ran a complete patient acquisition system inside a DC-operated spine clinic in Tennessee. That clinic went from $400K to pushing toward $890K/year — same market, same physician, no new staff. That's the system we now build for chiropractic and cash-based medical practices.

Done-for-you GoHighLevel patient acquisition systems — funnels, automation, pipelines, and nurture sequences.
We don't just consult on this model. We still operate The Disc Doctor's system today. Every recommendation is tested in a live practice first.
The Disc Doctor is a DC-operated, cash-based clinic focused exclusively on non-surgical disc care — herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain. No insurance accepted. High-ticket treatment programs ranging from $3,000–$7,500. Founded and operated by Dr. Matthew Jacobs DC, with over 8 years in practice and 1,000+ patients treated.
The clinic had strong clinical outcomes and a good reputation — but the patient acquisition system was entirely manual and dependent on the physician.
Ad traffic was sent to a generic homepage. No condition-specific messaging. High bounce rate, low conversion.
Leads from ads depended on the front desk seeing the notification. Response times varied — often hours. Leads went cold.
No GHL pipeline, no automated reminders, no no-show reactivation. Everything was tracked manually or not at all.
Despite a large Spanish-speaking patient population in the market, all ads and funnels ran in English only.
The practice was generating approximately $400K/year — strong clinically, but constrained by the lack of a scalable front-end system.
Dr. Jacobs was involved in every patient touchpoint. No system ran independently. The practice stopped when he wasn't driving it.
Dedicated pages for disc herniation and back pain — matching the exact search intent of each patient type. One condition, one offer, one CTA per page.
SMS fires within 60 seconds of any form submission — 24/7. No front desk dependency. Lead is contacted before the physician knows they came in.
Qualification form → calendar immediately on submission. Patients book while intent is hot. No callback required.
Automated SMS at 24hrs and 2hrs before every appointment. No-show reactivation fires within 30 minutes of a missed visit.
Parallel English + Spanish campaigns targeting the Spanish-speaking patient population. Spanish campaign consistently outperforms English on CPL.
Full pipeline: New Lead → Contacted → Booked → Showed → Converted. Every lead visible. No spreadsheets. Post-visit review request automated.

Not ready for a full buildout? Start here. We'll review your current system across six areas and tell you exactly where you're losing patients — no pitch, no obligation.
Do you have a dedicated landing page or are you sending ad traffic to a homepage?
How fast does someone follow up after a form submission? Manual or automated?
How many touches, what channels, what timeline before you give up on a lead?
Is there a calendar or are they calling to book? How many steps to confirm an appointment?
What happens when someone doesn't show up? Is there a reactivation sequence?
Can you see at a glance where every lead stands right now — without chasing your team?
We're opening a small number of spots for chiropractic and cash-based medical practices ready to build the same system we built for The Disc Doctor.
