How to Get More Patients for Your Clinic or Hospital in Surat (Doctor's Guide)

Yogesh Chauhan 10 min readMarch 18, 2025

The Challenge: Getting New Patients in Surat


Surat has thousands of doctors and clinics competing for patients. Patients today don't just walk into the nearest clinic — they Google it first. They search "best dentist in Surat", "skin doctor near me", or "eye specialist Adajan".


If your clinic does not show up in these searches, patients go to your competitor. Here is how to fix that.


Strategy 1: Google Business Profile (Most Important for Doctors)


When a patient searches "dermatologist near me" in Surat, Google shows a map with 3 clinics. Being in this top 3 means getting 5-15 new patient calls every day.


How to optimize:

  • Add correct specialization as category (Dermatologist, Dentist, etc.)
  • Upload photos of your clinic, equipment, and team
  • Add all treatments you offer in the Services section
  • Collect patient reviews (aim for 50+ reviews with 4.5+ rating)
  • Post weekly health tips on your Google profile
  • Add appointment booking link

    • Cost: GBP setup from Rs 1,999 | Optimization from Rs 3,999


    Strategy 2: Google Ads for Doctors


    Google Ads put your clinic at the top of search results instantly. When someone searches "best orthopedic doctor in Surat", your ad appears first.


    Best ad types for doctors:

  • Search Ads — appear when patients search for your specialty
  • Call Ads — patients can call your clinic directly from the ad
  • Location Ads — appear on Google Maps

    • Budget: Rs 500-1000/day gets 10-20 patient inquiries daily.


    Important: Target only Surat city + 10km radius for maximum ROI.


    Strategy 3: Professional Medical Website


    Patients trust doctors with professional websites. Your website should have:


  • Doctor profile with qualifications
  • List of treatments and specializations
  • Clinic photos and virtual tour
  • Online appointment booking
  • Patient testimonials
  • Blog with health tips (great for SEO)

    • Strategy 4: Online Reputation Management


    90% of patients read online reviews before choosing a doctor. Your reputation on Google can make or break your practice.


    Action plan:

  • Ask every patient to leave a Google review after their visit
  • Use NFC Review Stand at your reception desk
  • Respond to all reviews professionally
  • Address negative reviews with empathy and solutions

    • Strategy 5: Social Media for Health Awareness


    Doctors who share health tips on Instagram and Facebook build trust and authority. Patients remember you when they need medical help.


    Content ideas:

  • Health tips related to your specialty
  • Myth vs Fact posts
  • Patient recovery stories (with permission)
  • Clinic updates and new equipment announcements
  • Festival health greetings

    • Results You Can Expect
